Russian Honorary Consulate in Auckland

Louise Shaw

My daughter has been invited to train at Vaganova Ballet Academy in St Petersburg. She has completed her medical certificate and had her official invitation issued. currently, Faith is in London at Royal School there, and flies into NZ August 18. The invitation to enter Russia is issued from August 28. Because this is a quick time to organise the visa, I am wondering what we need to do to get this organised in a quick time. Is it possible to do this in Auckland (she is there for one day Monday 18th waiting for her joining flight back to Christchurch) or do we need to send her passport into Wellington Embassy? Also, Vaganova has a particular medical insurance company for their dancers to purchase a policy through. This, I do not think, is travel insurance so I think I must organise that separately before we are able to have a visa issued? Thank you for your assistance, sincerely Louise Shaw
