Russian visa for UK

Edit Post

I'm a bit confused about how to apply for a russian visa from the UK.

I see 2 websites

http://ru.vfsglobal.co.uk/business.html

this one which says i need to fill in online form, and i think go to a location in edinburgh to get my fingerprints

&

http://www.visatorussia.com/russianvisa.nsf/business_visa_support.html   

this website that doens't mention anything about fingerprints, but says I can't do multiple business visa without previoulsly having a business visa

the rucosm website has a completely different form, would I need to fill in that form as well as one of the other two?

thanks a lot, so I ignore the 2nd and 3rd website I posted, including the PDF on the 3rd website, www.rucosm.com/IMAGES/visa_acrobat.pdf.

also do i need a valid passport for the invitation letter to be made?

so for india i don't need an invitation letter and I don't need fingerprints, it can all be done via mail?

what ar the advantages or Dr Dhawan or Sangari over barinov?

for when filling out the visa, what should i put in as my arrive time and depart time, should i not know what they are and have surgery adn flights booked before hand, or sholud i make the arrive date and depart date much further apart than needed.

okay so i can expect about 30 days for the invite letter to be made up.

but surely i book my surgery slot before the visa is made, as i need to specify when i will be going to russia in the visa.

any clues as to what to put in in these fields while filling in the visa?

I was under the impression I was to contact Tonya on [email protected] for all these types of things, as irene is not doing that job now, are you saying i should contact another e-mail address and person?

Thanks
