Which facebook page? Looking for some usefull information too :-)

Right now i try to find out how to get a multible entry visa for russia and how much it will be. There are so much different information...what is right and what is wrong? What Visa agency i can trust?

Edit: Hab die Leute von visum-russland.org angerufen: Nur ein 180 Tage Geschäftsvisum bietet 4 malige Einreise und kostet 260€ inklusive Einladung. Für ein 30 Tage Visum reicht eine günstige ADAC Auslandskrankenversicherung, die nur bis 45 Tage gültig ist. Für ein 90 Tage Visum braucht man eine länger gültige Versicherung da die Botschaft davon ausgeht, dass man die ganzen 90 Tage im Land beiben wird. Fürs 180 Tage Visum reicht wieder die 45 Tage Versicherung da die Botschaft wohl davon ausgeht, dass man nur kurze Zeit in Russland sein wird. Komische Welt. Die Beantragung dauert 3 Wochen...dann bin ich für dieses Jahr bereits zu spät drann.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
