You'll have no issues at the POE. I recently traveled to Moscow for a few days, and not a single question was asked at the Port of Entry. They just took my biometrics and stamped me in.

I paid 241k for express, they didn't give me the option of paying the regular fees (which is like half). After my interview, they handed me a document with payment instructions and asked me to pick up my visa the next day.

Embassy is on Constitution Avenue, Abuja.

Thank you Kel. Another question is how many months is validity for visa and also help with list of documents to provide for a business visa

Hello boss, i hope you are doing great
Actually i was looking and researching to apply for open doors and i saw this topic

I will really appreciate it if you can guide me
Thanks for your time
And looking forward to hear from you

Why quote me if not guilty conscience. I am not desuading anybody, what you are presenting is a trap to scam people. If you can help people get scholarship what stops you from helping your siblings and friends, abi dem no wan go Russia? I have friends who won open doors scholarship without the help of anyone, they only follow instructions and did the needful by studying for the exams. It could be reasonable if you give people tips on how to get the scholarship and not to present yourself as an agent who want to "help". I could as well tell people to chat me up and help them to get Russian scholarship because I have pass through the process before and got an Olympia scholarship without any so-called agents. Why are some of you like this always looking for innocent people to scam. A scholarship that you don't need to pay a penny to get. Given people the right information without seeking for any financial gain no go kill you na, aba which kind thing be this. If not for guilty conscience sake why quote me if you know you are clean. How possible self are you going to help someone secure open doors scholarship when everything is proctored, why some of you think you are " smart" sometimes amazes me. Nobody should on this platform for cheap for this amateur scammer. Open doors scholarship is coming up by the first week of September and anyone that is interested should dm, I will gladly give you all the necessary information without asking you for a penny. I gave someone on this platform tips on how to get the Olympia and by the grace of God he got it without asking for a penny. Politicians are not helping matters,fellow citizens are also looking for ways to outsmart their fellow citizens, chain naija who do us,must everything be about money? How possible are you going to give people study invitation? Do you work with the Russian ministry of science and education or which school in Russia are you representing as their agent? Even the power to issues you study invitation lies in the Russian government, don't think you can easily fool peoples. Anyone that fall for this guy na you sabi,Russian government scholarship is one of the easiest scholarship you can get if you do all the necessary things and meet certain criteria and requirements.

First of, russia as of this morning dont have spouse visa, secondly you can be lucky to get a visa at that age even for a masters degree
P.s it not your fault but the embassy obsession with age
And thirdly you should apply for an admission solo and maybe your wife could do the same too

Russia!


Every one of us would not deny that we haven’t read or heard one or 2 weird stories about Russia.

If not. At least, you must have heard the following that;

Russians are racists; they do not like black People.

Russian spits on black people on the streets
Russians kills black people or Africans in the streets of Moscow.

Russia is not a place for a black man to travel to; Especially Nigerians.

I get often asked 2 particular questions from most Nigerians about Russia;

“How is the racism there, I heard they’re racist?
The Good News is that I have been living in Russia for almost 3 years now and no one cares about my skin color.

Russians are very helpful people when you ask for help.

“Russia is too cold.” But little did they know that Canada is colder than Russia.

Though, before I moved to Russia I also had read and heard so many weird things about Russia and the advice was “if you’re African, dark skinned don’t go to Russia."

I almost forfeited my visa lol!

But, I took the hard decision, disregarding all I have read and took a shot at it.

When I got to Russia’s Domododevo airport in Moscow I was expecting to be sent back to Africa, Nigeria for being black.

Clearly, nobody cared about my very dark skin tone.

For those who looked only did in admiration and ask to take a photo with me.

My 3 years in Russia has been awesome, far from what I expected.

Recently, I went spending time in the Russian Dacha (Country House) in Nigeria we call village house.

My 90 day experience in the Russian dacha was awesome too.

People where friendly and often asked to take a photo with me.

Remember, you must learn how to understand Russian to be able to start a conversation. Or you can either make use of a Yandex or Google Translator.

Observations:
Many of the things we have read or heard about Russia, isn’t true.

I’d not be able to write all of my experience in Russia so far

If you have any question about Russia ask me I’ll answer them in a knowledgeable truth around my experiences so far.

Nigerian in Russia- My experience so sar
Greetings brother
