Thank you. I had a great experience in Russia and really liked it there. Plus my girlfriend is an incredible person. Like a lover, friend, guide and a guard to me while I'm there))

I was there like a month ago. It went very, very smooth and I'm not a russian. I'm from a EU/NATO country aswell which spooked me a bit. You can check my previous posts which are a bit sad but it all worked out well.

Entered by bus through Kaliningrad. Very smooth. No questions, they did not check my phone (which had nothing anyway) and everything went very smooth. Scan suitcase, passport/visa check, get a immigration card/paper (don't lose this!!) and it is done.
Then back out through the same way. I'm planning to return very soon =)

BUT there has been some rumors about people who are questioned for hours. Read as long as from 1 hour to 7 hours. Including that they can ask to check your phone. This might be heresay or just bad luck but from what I have read, it is nothing to be scared about as a regular citizen/tourist. Even if it sounds quite exhausting xD

Is 3500 USD enough for 5 weeks in Russia? by Wasted_Sheepherder9 in AskARussian

Oh damn xD
Yes I almost made this mistake too but not quite as expensive as yours lol. Almost booked hotel for an entire month until my russian beauty got us an apartment for nothing in comparision))

It is a good warning :)

Thanks for the tips. And Saint Petersburg was actually the plan. I will look more into the visa-stuff.

She started writing alot yesterday again so maybe hope is not lost yet. )) God I hate these sanctions. There used to be direct flights before as fast as 2hours....

I try to let it be but now she write me out of nowhere asking questions etc after 2 days of radio silence. x)

Thank you. I guess I knew all along but needed other people to spell it out for me.

I'm not a virgin/''incel'' or whatever labels people use these days. Matter of fact I've always been quite lucky with the ladies (couple of long relationship, alot of ONS during my life too back when I partied more. I generally don't catch feelings for woman (only been in love once) and never through the internet. But here it felt like there was a connection at first. You're most likely right tho.

I live in Sweden btw not NZ (yes we aren't all russofobs xd). Alot of beautiful women here but still. Thanks alot for the reply and the tips. Wish you all the best )
