Indian passport - did the e-Visa for a Moscow and St Petersburg trip. Clear that US and UK passports are not eligible, but mine was. Smooth, quick and well explained.
Singapore passport - loved that I could enter via Pulkovo with the e-Visa. The team queued my application so it submitted at the right time before my trip.
