Actually, I'm not sure about that. I sent invitation letters to Russia
last fall and that was fairly painless. I could send scanned versions
of the letter along with a scan of my passport to confirm my
signature. If you have a confirmed booking of travel and accommodation
indicating everything is paid, it should be just fine.

Ucraine however... don't get me started. And I have no idea about Belarus...

In general, the sooner a date is fixed the better. Surprise.

Cheers,
Alex
