Visa delivery time?

Ok, since we started talking about air tickets here is another question At what time do they finish all the interviews at Moscow embassy? We will be flying for the medical and interview from other Russian city and we plan to book a flight back from Moscow at about 4pm at the day of the interview. Will we have enough time after the interview to catch the flight back or should I book it for later time?

My wife didn't get out of there until 2:30pm. You could get lucky and get out earlier, but you know how Murphy works. Traffic can be horrid in Moscow, especially if there's any kind of weather.

My suggestion would be to plan on leaving Moscow the next day. A 4pm flight is really pushing it.

Interesting, what I've heard is that by 11am all interviews are done already. What about 5pm flight?

By 11am MOST interviews are done, but as Mox points out sometimes it can be later. When my first wife went through the process she was the last interview of the day and finished about 12:30. I'm sure on some days they finish even later.

A 5pm flight certainly allows a little more time than a 4pm flight.

Me PERSONALLY, I wouldn't schedule anything before 8pm... MAYBE 7pm. That way you'll have no doubt about having enough time to make the flight. Go to the airport and if you're there way early, you can put your baggage in the left luggage room and go over to the Novotel Hotel for a nice dinner at Don Pepe.

Dude, we have a restless 1 year old boy, that's why I try to cut out stay in Moscow to the minimum, no restaurant dinners for us

Ahhhhhh.... just put a couple teaspoonfuls of tequila in his juice and he'll sleep right through dinner!

But OK--- book a 5pm flight and take your chances. More than likely you'll make it on time.... but if you don't, don't come blaming us.
