MUMBAI: Travel to Russia may soon become easier as a proposal to issue Russian visas in two days has been put forth by the Russian government.

“Russian visas for Indians are issued in two weeks, while the Indian embassy in Russia takes ten days. We want the period to be brought down to only two days so that ties between the two countries are strengthened,” said Maxim Mikhailovich Meier, consultant to the speaker of Duma Russina Parliament and Head of Internal Policy of the president of Russian Federation.

Meier is visiting Mumbai and Delhi to gather consensus on the issues related to security towards investment, strengthening cultural and literature. “We want the agreement to be materialised at the Parliament level of both the countries and will probably be finalised in the next couple of months,” said Meier.

However, he refused to elaborate on the security issue but said that taxation mechanism in India should be friendlier.

Meier also announced a year long celebration of Russian cultural and musical tradition in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai.
