Trans Siberian visas
Almost everybody will need to arrange visas to travel on the Trans Siberian.
Your visas are the most time consuming part of your Trans Siberian trip so allow plenty of time and book early!
Russian visas
Russian visas can only be arranged against pre-booked accommodation documents. Most companies arrange a minimum of two nights for you in Moscow or St. Petersburg at the start or end of your Trans Siberian trip.
DO NOT OVERRUN YOUR VISAS!
Huge problems (for yourself) will arise if you do not stick to your itinerary and you could also face arrest on departure.
Mongolian and Chinese visas
The Mongolian and Chinese visas are both a little easier to arrange but still take about a working week each, minimum.
All three visas can be obtained faster through express visa processing fees but you should really try to avoid this option as they can be as much as £80 extra for the Russian visa for example!
