#UnSettled
I'm a Lithuanian citizen, with #SettledStatus in the UK.
My mother currently lives in Russia, I haven't seen her for a very long time. The planes started flying again 2 weeks ago and Russia has resumed its air corridors with just 3 countries, the UK, Turkey and Tanzania.

In order to go and see her, I have to apply for the free electronic visa. Unfortunately, in order to do so, the Russian Embassy wants me to provide the physical proof of my UK residency, verified by a notary.
Sadly, the Home Office doesn't issue such documents.

I tried explaining this to the visa center but they were having none of this.
They ONLY want the notary verified document that proves my legal residency in the UK.
I emailed a few notary offices and was quoted £220 for having the Home Office's web page verified.

That's a lot of money with no guarantee that the visa center will accept it. I can't afford this, on top of flights & accommodation costs. This is very frustrating.
We really need a physical proof of our #SettledStatus. Julija S.
