Visa Registration in Russia

[Svetlana Grenier]

Dear Kostya and other Seelangovtsy,

My sister and I have just had this experience. I had a business visa, and
she had a tourist one. You can register at the post office or at the OVIR
(post office is obviously easier).  They say, you have to register within 7
business days.  You will need a copy of your passport and of your host's
passport (first page and the page showing his or her propiska), and also a
copy of the little "migratsionnaia karta" they give you at the border.  At
the post office they gave us a form, of which we had to fill out two
copies, without any mistakes or corrections--I destroyed four or five of
those forms.  It cost 207 rubles.  The interesting thing, I don't think the
border control on the way out was interested in our stamped migration card
at all...

Best,
Svetlana
