Visa Registration

According to Russian laws foreigners should register their visas within 3 working days upon arrival.
1. If you are staying at a hotel, the hotel will make the registration of your russian visa. You will be asked of your visa and passport. A small registration fee can be imposed.
2. If you are not staying at a hotel, and travel on a tourist visa, you will have to make registration of your russian visa at the Passport and Visa Department of the local Police Precinct. 

The documents presented for registration are passport with valid Russian visa and migration card. The registration stamp will be done on the back side of migration card.
