Subject: Re: [SEELANGS] Visa Registration in Russia

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

Dear Seelangовцы!

I am traveling to Russia (St. Petersburg and Moscow) on a tourist visa but
will be staying in a private apt. rather than a hotel. I assume that I will
have to register my visa. How and where does one do it in this situation?
OVIR? Police? Post Office? Thanks a lot.
