Query re: third-country Russian visa processing (in region)

[Griesenbeck, Donna]

Dear Colleagues,

One of our students who will be traveling to Russia (Kazan) this summer for June and July, and will study abroad for the fall semester in Moscow at the Higher School of Economics starting in September. During August he plans to travel to Kyrgyzstan.

He is hoping not to have to  return to the US to process the Russian visa for his fall study abroad.

Do you know if a US citizen can process a Russian visa invitation in the embassy of a third country, for example, in Kiev, Tbilisi, or Bishkek?  How would he get accurate information about the options?  Can you recommend another method to get the Russian visa that will cover his semester abroad (September-January) without requiring a transatlantic flight in August?

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

Donna Griesenbeck
