Planned travel to Russian Federation and Former Russian Repu
 

I am planning a trip next June to include the Russian Federation and Former Russian Republics. Can anyone help with advice about obtaining visas, details of any permits and passes needed (e.g. for gps) and any other general advice. Many thanks.

First, welcome to the HUBB
Next, it is my duty to tell you to use the search function and browse the forums (expecially Northern Asia where Russia etc. info is).
You will find these topics *well* covered already.
When you have your background info, ask something specific and you will probably get the answer you are looking for.
Happy Searching!

Many thanks for your advice and your welcome.
I will ask some more specific questions.
