Visa and Identity theft concern
Am I alone in my concern about the extensive personal information requested for a Russian Visa? Parents names, ex-spouse's birthdate, courses studied in college,etc.??? There is everything on the form that would be needed for identity theft and I'm not sure the trip is worth it. Am I being paranoid? JKR2006

Getting a visa requires that info -sometimes more/sometimes less - no matter the country. Get used to it or don't go to countries that require visas. Every single UK resident coming to the States has to jump through more hoops than that . . . .
