10 weeks to get a visa.

YWAM Perm doesn't actually issue visas. For staff, students, and volunteers that have made arrangements to come visit us here in Perm, we are able to help get an official letter of invitation that can be used to apply for a visa in your own country.

The process of getting a letter of invitation takes 6-7 weeks from the time that we receive all of your information. There is no option for fastor processing, so be sure to begin the process far enough in advance.

Once you have a letter of invitation, you will need to apply for a visa at a Russian Embassy or Consulate in your country. (For those in the U.S. we highly reccomend applying at the Russian Embassy in Washington D.C.) The visa application process will take 10 working days plus time in the mail. Each Embassy or Consulate has its own application form and list of required documents, be sure to check with them for all the details.

Altogether you should allow at least 8-10 weeks to get your visa.
