Visa Agent in Australia

Does anyone know a good Visa Agent in Australia? More specifically Sydney. I am returning to Russia next year and will need visas for Russia, Mongolia and the "Stans"
Thanks.

Chris,
I have been asking questions of these people:

Valentina Colyer
Iris Tours
Suite 7 / 600 Railway Parade
Hurstville NSW 2220 Australia
T: 02 9585 2146
F: 02 9580 7256
Russian Visas | Invitations | Visa Support & Russian Visa Application Forms
www.Ukraine Visa.com.au

And their quote was:
Hello Mark,
We have had confirmed by Moscow that you will require a 6 month visa to
gain 3 entries... it would be a multi entry visa.
Therefore the costs would be:
$225 USD per person payable for Moscow work - with Ministry of Foreign
Affairs
$200 AUD per person for Iris Tours for all handling, visa support and
lodgement
$350 AUD per person payable for Russian Consulate for 6 month multi visa
$100 AUD - one payment for document to be delivered to Consulate from
Russia
Do please discuss this with your friends.


Does this seem high from your experience?

Mark

Try waytorussia.net lots of good info on multi entry visas and helpful locals.

I had some problems a few years ago and could not get a visa issued in Australia as my entry into Russia was more than 3 months after the visa would have been issued. I was never sure if it was just another method of screwing more $s from me though.

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.
