FAQ

Where should I register my visa?

If you are staying in a hotel, they will register your visa upon arrival. However, if you are not staying in hotel accommodation, please visit our offices with your visa, passport and migration card, or alternatively send copies by fax or e-mail to our office and pay on-line. It is essential that this is done within 3 business days after your arrival in the Russian Federation.

How should I count the 180-day visa period regarding the 90-day restriction rule for Russian visa?

The 180-day Russian visa period regarding the 90-day restriction rule starts from the first day of first arrival (border crossing), not from the date of the Russian visa issuance.
