Enterprising residents of St. Petersburg took advantage of the rush for visas to Finland and began selling slots to record.
Earlier it was reported that due to the large influx of applicants for Schengen to Finland and Estonia, places in the queue were sold out by the end of August. In this regard, the Consulate General of Finland was forced to suspend the issuance of new slots.
Some citizens of St. Petersburg immediately responded, and on a free service ads appeared offering to sell their turn for the next few days for 20 thousand rubles. The authors of the ads note that the amount includes help with filing documents and customs duties.
There is another category of people who want to make extra money. For a nominal fee of 1000-2000 rubles, residents of the Northern Capital offer to monitor updates on the site and sign up for the appearing openings.
