Visa application in third (or fourth) country.
I am planning to visit Moscow for 4 days in October. I understand I have to visit a Russian Consulate in person to apply for a tourist visa. The complications are as follows:
1. I am triple national, UK/Irish/Australian.
2. I live in the far West of Austria. The only Consulate in Austria is in Vienna, a 7-hour drive away. Munich would be a much easier journey.
Do I have to apply in the country in which I am resident (or a citizen of), or can I go to a consulate in Germany?
Do I have to surrender the passport that I use for the visa?
