Visa Registration in Russia

[Vladimir Orlov]

I think a foreigner should go for official registration (in OVIR or
alike) only if staying longer than 2 months. Otherwise, you can easily
do it at any hotel. There are some very cheap ones in Moscow, 500
rubles. And they will stamp your visa.

If that registration is not done, you might be approached on the way
back from Russia to pay a fee which would be certainly more than 500
rubles.

Hope this helps,
