All was fine. I got multiple entry business visa no restrictions. The word is that every Consulate is doing different things. I would suggest calling said consulates before leaving on a visa run. I also hear that London is a good place to go as of now. The consulates are interpreting the new rules differently. Every country right now has a different set of rules. As far as having to get the visa in your home country, this is the first that cropped up for me about this subject. Consulate in Kiev made no mention of any changes. How much of the rules apply to EU only and what applies to Americans?? Kyle I just came back two weeks ago from my Visa Run. All was fine. I got multiple entry business visa no restrictions.

First, an official from MID says that you can still apply in any embassy (I think that there maybe colour of skin exemptions) and they are not quite sure when the 180 day rule will start to apply. The American Chamber of Commerce (www.amcham.ru), whilst habitually a useless organization is good on getting these issues clarified and is worth following. The advice from the visa agencies is to sit tight for now. Andy,
