As long as I remember they didn't ask for details of my (unexisting) residency in Sweden. The one problem though with Russian Visa Centres in Sweden is that they ask you pay using the Swedish bank transfer system (Bankgiro): you can't pay by card or cash, which can be a bother (I heard Forex and others can do such bank transfers with a small fee though, but I didn't try). | |

| Dec 13, 2016 at 9:17 | comment | added | medina | I am resident in the UK @Crazydre but currently in Sweden. The plan is to either go to Helsinki and/or Tallinn next. I am suspecting I will have to abandon my efforts to get to Russia this time or fly back to the UK for a period of time to obtain the visa. | |

| Dec 12, 2016 at 23:22 | comment | added | VMAtm | Visa can't be issued very fast. Are you sure you have enough time to obtain visa not in UK? | |

| Dec 12, 2016 at 17:07 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | It will depend on the policies of the visa application center you intend to use, and the type of visa, or other legal presence, you have in the country where you are applying. It will probablly be simpler to apply in the UK as your country of residence. | |

| Dec 12, 2016 at 16:49 | comment | added | medina | I am UK resident as well. But debating whether it is possible to get visa whilst travelling. | |
| Dec 12, 2016 at 16:46 | comment | added | Jan | Not sure about UK citizens (I’m German) but back in 2010 I applied for a tourist visa from Helsinki where I was an exchange student. I think, the restriction is not your nationality but your residency. | |
