if you need a visa, and you do for some countries, you may want one of the 
services to work for you. to get to siberia, even with help on the russian 
side, we used travisa http://www.travisa.com/ and they did a fine (but not 
a cheap) job. i already had a passport so i can't speak to that part of 
the problem.
