Helpful Advice
"Registration of your visa is required by Russian law within three business days of your official entry into the Russian Federation. Registration is not a difficult process. If you are staying at a hotel, they will do it for you. If you stay at one of our comfortable flats, we will arrange this registration though one of our cooperating businesses. Don’t overlook this detail! One visitor here, we know of, refused to do this. An overly aggressive official stamped his passport for no entry into the Russian Federation for FIVE years! Don’t take this chance and risk being barred for a half a decade. We highly recommend you ignore, so called, 'advice' from others on how to get around or shortcut this requirement. We will register your visa legally!."

is required, by law, for your visit to the Russian Federation. A
valid passport is not sufficient on its own. Visas for your visit

- Tourist
