When you apply for the visa itself (after you have obtained a visa invitation), however, you will need to send your passport directly to the Russian embassy or Consulate.
Yes. The dates you specify is simply the time span during which you have to enter and leave Russia. You don't have to travel on these dates. The above said is applicable both for Russian business and tourist visas
No. In case you have been granted a Russian visa which is valid at the time you are submitting a new application to the Russian consulate, you will have to provide them with your passport where the relevant visa is stamped as the Russian consulate will need to cancel it.
From 2011 all Russian visas should be registered upon arrival in the Russian Federation within 7 business days after your arrival in the Russian Federation. If you stay less than 7 business days (exluding holidays and weekends) you do not need the registration.
Actually, the 90-days rule is enforced in Russian visa registration procedure only. Immigration officers at the Russian border control still do not count the real length of your stay in Russia. Thus some foreign nationals having Russian business visas and permanently living in Russia prefer to cross the Russian border with neighboring countries (Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania) and re-enter in a one or a few days.
There are no restrictions in the Russian legislation on marriage for foreign and Russian citizens.
Meanwhile, Russian law recognizes a monogamous marriages only. Thus, it is required to provide a proof that foreign citizen are not married, if they are to marry in Russia. Typically, it can be a letter from the relevant embassy or consulate in Russia.
Theoretically, a foreign national can marry Russian on the basis of any type of visa. But you should be ready that Russian formalities usualy take at least one month.
