I was born in Russia. Where they still have vans like this next to the US embassy, the UK embassy, the Canadian embassy, the French/German/Spanish/Swedish embassies, heck, all the "western" countries' embassies. We're used to it.
This "business plan" is 60 years old. When the WW2 was over and the world was (stupidly) divided into two parts. Visas are PITA. You, Americans, just not very used to it... Fortunately.
- dbuxton 15y agoI've never seen this at either the British or the Canadian embassies in Moscow...
- jitbit 15y agoI should've written "VISA Application Centers" not embassies (they're not the same place)
- joelhaasnoot 15y agoVery common business moddel all across Africa too. When the DV2011 signs popup you know it's time for people to apply for the annual green card lottery. I believe the application process has specific requirements for pictures and needs to be done online, so places offer that service.
