Yes I understand and agree with everything you said but you know, a small part of me has some doubts hehe. As I remember @Mariaont5119 got Pre-Arrivals three days after she got DM. I’m so happy for all of us! Hope to get something exciting tomorrow.
WARSAW TIMELINE-Join here !!
- Thread starter Diana-Armenian
- Start date
Did you declare it as a passport or as general documents? My wife is saying it's an explicit option you have when sending through DHL to pick "passport".
Because of the experience of others here who have already sent to Warsaw and received back by courier, I did a tiny amount of websearching and found this:
There are other reasons listed here, but note the date of 1 August 2012. It seems something changed by law and there should be no problem sending by courier company. Or at least I assume the courier companies would not be advertising openly this service if it was against the law
. I don't know if this applies to the Russian Post/regular mail.So I guess the Embassy in Moscow is misinformed about this. I'll see what they have to say about it.
But at any rate, anyone in position / wanting to send should be able to do so in (relative) confidence. And anyone being told by Warsaw they have to wait until the visa centre in Moscow is open - well, wrong, it can be done by courier (or if they get their act together, directly at the embassy in Moscow). Entirely reasonable to ask them to accept the passport for stamping in Warsaw by courier (assuming decision made etc).
Thank you for the information. Seems like the embassy in Moscow knows nothing about anything.Because of the experience of others here who have already sent to Warsaw and received back by courier, I did a tiny amount of websearching and found this:

Yes, not impressive; obviously really poor coordination with Warsaw, too.
I forgot the link above:

Just received an email from Warsaw informing that the Moscow VAC (and Vladivostok too) is scheduled to open on Monday the 14th of September (but to check before sending through it, i.e. it's not on the VAC site yet). Specifically says we can deliver documents to the Moscow VAC though.
Obviously I can't guarantee anything, or which might be quicker but if anyone trying to decide whether to spend the money to send to Warsaw, may be worth waiting.

Wow, this is really great! Thank you for sharing.

Note, only accepting by mail or courier, but pony express within town much cheaper than the big courier companies to Warsaw.
I guess this means that they're not doing biometrics though.
Yes, I’m so happy they’re opening. It would save so much money. As I read on RusForum a person from Kaliningrad said it costed from 13.000 to 18.000 rubes to deliver one envelope to Warsaw and back. It’s like 5 hours by car. Bossmon’s wife said that from N.Novgorod to Warsaw and back costed 15.000.
uggghhh. actually today we spent 17.625 rubles. I wish I saw this before.
Ouch.
This is physically painful to read. Is there any way to cancel the delivery? If it’s still in N.Novgorod.uggghhh. actually today we spent 17.625 rubles. I wish I saw this before.
Great! So you just need to order a new one that needs to be delivered on Monday between 10 am and 13:30 pm. I checked PonyExpress and they have delivery options for 10 am and 12 pm. Actually they have so many cheap options. I bet others have them as well.Yes! we canceled it.
