Learning to drive in Moscow

michelle88

I'm moving across to Moscow soon and I'm hoping to learn to drive while I'm there. Has anybody done this? Is it as difficult as some people have suggested?

yes, its bit difficult but you can get a driving license here by enrolling into a driving school. On average it would cost you around $1500 USD (eq. in rubles). Also, your license will be issued  for the period of your valid visa. Later, you've to extend your license every time when you extend your visa.
