VISAS

1. Tourist Visa

Miss Dodge: Good afternoon. Could I speak to somebody from the Soviet Consular Department, please?

Secretary: Good afternoon. Secretary's speaking.

Miss Dodge: My name is Dodge. I am going to visit the Soviet Union as a tourist.

Secretary: You are welcome, Miss Dodge.

Miss Dodge: Should I apply for a visa personally or by post?

Secretary: Any way you wish.

Miss Dodge: What documents should I submit to the Consular Department, please?

Secretary: A completed application form, your passport, three recent pass­port-size photographs, and a letter from your travel agent.

Miss Dodge: Do I have to get in touch with a travel agency? Secretary: Yes, Miss Dodge. All individual tourist trips to the Soviet Union are arranged through the Intourist Travel agency. Miss Dodge: Can't I arrange it through the Consular Department?

Secretary: I'm afraid, Miss Dodge, you cannot. It is done for your con­venience. The Intourist will take care of the tickets and your hotel ac­commodation in the USSR.

Miss Dodge: Thank you very much. When you are open?

Secretary: Monday through Friday. Our Consular office is closed on Sat­urdays and Sundays and on all legal holidays.

Miss Dodge: Thank you again, Miss Secretary.

Secretary: You are welcome. Good-bye.

Miss Dodge: Good-bye.
