Thanks Jim and Human Being...

So thats a sticky problem, there is no way around going through Russia and some of the former soviet states...

I heard that using HK as a proxy to get an IDD from a Chinese license required to be a HK resident. Thats better than having to be a citizen, but at the end of the day thats the same: I dont plan to be an HK resident anytime soon. Does anyone knows if "visa agencies" in HK can get me an IDD for a fee?

I am gonna dig that question on my side and come back post here if I find out something.
