Registration of Visas in Russia
According to the Russian law, your Russian visa must be registered within 7 business days upon arrival to the Russian Federation.
When you stay at a hotel, the registration is fully taken care of by the hotel reception. A nominal registration fee may be assessed.
If you stay at a private apartment, your visa is to be registered by your Russian host. The host needs to apply at the local police precinct or post office, fill out a
notification form
and enclose a copy of your passport (photo and visa pages) and migration card. Your host will also have to present his passport registered at the same apartment. The experience shows that getting registered through the post is less troublesome and time-consuming than at the police station.
Please note that not registering your Russian visa may lead to serious problems: you may be stopped by police, fined, be made non-eligible to get a Russian visa in the future, etc. We strongly advise you to register your Russian visa to avoid possible consequences. It is also very important to register in time.
Attention! The details of the registration procedure change pretty often. We strongly recommend that you contact our Customer Service Team before or immediately after your arrival to Russia and we will be glad to provide the latest up to date on the registration procedure.
