Hello DONDEE welcome to British Filipino. Tell us your story if you don't mind, myself and others here are nosy
Hi, suggested that I tell you my story. I am at present chatting with a Filipino woman that is working in Russia, her name is Haidee we chat on skype every day, we have known each other for about six weeks, we meet on a European chat site. I hope that we will get the chance to meet sometime in the not to distant future. But like most things there is the problem of visa's. she is trying to find a English speaking agency in Moscow that can help her get her visa for Europe so she can meet me for a holiday. she will continue to work in Russia for the next six months then decide what to do. So that is my story so far.
Hi Dondee and welcome thats a very unusual place to find a Filipina Working in Russia she will have both a work visa and a work permit normally valid for a year if it were me Id ask to see them on skype to check the time left on them as ideal for applying for a tourist visa for say the schengan area (you mentioned Europe rather than the UK) they would exceed the tourist visa validity by some months . Luckily she doesnt need an agency at all just apply to the schengan country She wants to visit with you either online or at there Embassy in Moscow google will be a help here and it only costs 60 euro for a visa of less than 90 days. The other golden rule Dondee with all online "relationships" as Im sure you will know is never ever send money before you have met, unless you really dont mind loosing it , if that is the case please send some to me lol
Well DONDEE, very interesting, I didn't think our beloved Filipinas would venture to Russia, I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop Good idea you have to meet her for a holiday, will be a great feeling to meet her for the first time I'm sure, good luck.
Hi, thanks for the information I appreciate it. She has been working in Russia for over one year, She has just got her new 2 year visa and work permit. she has told me that she can apply for a Schengen visa because she has been working longer than six months in Russia..... IS she wrong ?. I am interested in what you say about applying for Schengen visa on line, this would be great if possible as she lives and works 3 hours drive from Moscow and getting there is difficult for her to do,,,,,,, An more help on this from anyone would be very much appreciated. I appreciate the reminder of never sending money. but she has her own money. her family has warned her that I might be a scammer LoL. we are both genuine people that have both taken a strong liking of each other and now would like to spend a few weeks together to see if there is a future for use.
Nicely put Sir here is a link in English to a Portuguese consular site http://www.secomunidades.pt/vistos/...content&view=article&id=171&Itemid=14&lang=en and the place I sourced Denmark et al in Russia have a look http://rusland.um.dk/en/travel-and-residence/menu-1/information-sheet-about-schengen-visa/
Not sure if this is the right way to update you on my progress with Haidee, ( Filipino Lady living and working in Russia ) But hopefully you will forgive me if its wrong, After trying to sort out a Schengan visa, which has proved more difficult than we expected. We have both decided to holiday in Haidee's home city CEBU, we are going for 3 weeks early next month. Strange to think that we are both flying to the Philippines for our first meeting, Haidee flying from Moscow and myself from Heathrow. Hopefully it will be worth the effort we are both putting into it.
