Helen Highwater posted:I did it for Ukraine, which I understand is very similar. If you are applying for a work or residence permit, you need a Visa D, which you can get from the Russian Embassy in any country outside of Russia. That's a 45 day visa that lets you enter Russia to change your immigration status once you have arrived. In Russia, you'll then need to apply for the residence permit at the Federal Migration Service. Note that since this year, it's become very difficult to get a residence permit as a foreigner. You need to speak Russian to an acceptable standard (this is tested) and you need to either be born in Russia, related or married to a Russian citizen, have done miltiary service in Russia or have a big ol' chunk of cash that you can invest in Russia. The permit is valid for three years although you have to re-confirm it every year. Yeah no that's all fine. Basically I applied for a tourist invitation from these people (http://www.visitrussia.org.uk/) and they've sent me an invitation saying I'm registered at their hotel in St Petersburg even though I provided them with the address of the friend I'll be staying with. So for the purposes of the application I should repeat the address on the invitation, I guess? It sounds mad sketch to me but every Russian friend I've asked said it's normal. EDIT: Huh, just got an email back from the visa office people, apparently it doesn't matter at all as Swiss passport holders are only required to say which city they'll be in, not the address.

I'm afraid I applied twice, since I missed the confirmation e-mail on the first one and thought something had gone wrong. Hope I don't get blocked for attempted fraud.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-36845106 Universities in England are already announcing a tuition fee increase above the £9,000 limit before Parliament has even finished debating plans which would pave the way to raise fees. Tuition fees for 2017 are listed on Durham, Kent and Royal Holloway websites as £9,250.

Won't tuition fees continue to rise once we're formally out of the EU, and our students can't study for free in certain countries any more, creating some sort of bizarre education monopoly? Scotland declaring independence would be a factor as well.

forkboy84 posted:I'm not a massive SNP fan, & Coohoolin's fan boying for them while claiming to be a member of the SSP is obviously funny, but blaming the SNP for anti-English sentiment in Scotland is horseshit. There's been anti-English sentiment from idiots for my entire life & probably a lot longer. About 15 years ago, when the SNP had a grand sum of 5 MPs, a family on a street near where I grew up did a house swap with one from down south. It lasted about a month before the left, having gotten abuse from locals mad about the English for no real reason. UKIP didn't invent racism either but they are happy to piggyback on top of it to get votes and money.

That's true but I don't think anti-English sentiment is a driving force in the SNP as racism is for UKIP. Seems that anti-Toryism much bigger factor, even if SNP policy is not exactly socialist.

I remember people smugly warning that if Scotland went indy we'd have to provide the same free tuition to English and Welsh and NI students that we don't do now but that we give to EU students because (rightly so) Scotland and the rUK would be different EU countries. The UK's loving off, they STILL won't get our free tuition. Haha, oh man.

I think it's intentionally ambiguous so that they can disclaim any ethnic nationalism but still appeal to ethnic nationalists.

Also bear in mind that if you hear a Scottish person speaking disparagingly about "English people" there's a very good chance they're referring to people from Edinburgh. EDIT: Seriously people the SNP is pro-immigration and is made up of Scottish, English, French, Pakistani, etc MSPs and MPs, they're the LAST party anyone can legitimately accuse of any sort of bigotry, whether it's stirring up or taking advantage of.
