Russian and Kazakh visas
Since I live in Kyrgyzstan, I'm applying for the longer term tourist visas in Kazakhstan and Russia to make things easier when I want to travel or visit friends. FYI as of August US citizens are now eligible for 5 year multiple entry visas to Kazakhstan (I applied for min on Thursday, should have it on Monday).
Also last year the US and Russia agreed on 3 year visas as being the norm. This fact seems to have escaped our Russian consulate in Bishkek, does anyone have experience with these? I've got all the proper invitations and I'm going to take my passport, a pile of papers, etc over there on Tuesday, any pointers?
