Apologies if this is in the wrong place...

As you'll see, first time poster. If this isn't in the correct place or has been answered somewhere else I'll happily take directions.

In the past I was a member of the Travel Club and a fairly regular attendee at games, all home, the occasional away. I have moved to the middle east in recent years so am a bit out of the loop. As it so happens I can get dirt cheap flights to Moscow from where I am for the dates around the Russia away game. I just have a couple of questions:

1) Is the visa process still convoluted and expensive?

2) What are the chances of a non-travel club member picking up a ticket? Either officially or unofficially?

Any help appreciated.

sounds like process is simpler - no hotel voucher now  I think

If you are somewhere remote abroad, possible that process is easier

I recall asking consulate in Angola about getting VISA for Russia, and they were quite chatty about process - as a guide my colleague also in Angola organised Cambodia visa,there & was entertained with tea & biscuits while they organised visa

Tickets - guys are always able to pick up a ticket at the away matches ( I have never had to, but there are multiple people who do this regular -

Personally i would take the chance - @ worst worm your way into the Russian end - Generally I have found russians quite friendly -

I am going to request picking up my ticket in Russia as I have holiday planned and the week in Russia is just the second leg of holiday. I had the visa paperwork sorted well in advance of my visit to centre in Leith. I found the application relatively painless in the end thanks to the advice provided on the forums here.
