Additional Information:
visa registration.....
Remember, when you are in Russia you are required to register your visa, if you intend to stay for more than 3 working days.
There will be a cost for registering your visa with the authorities in St Petersburg and are detailed below.
Don't forget that we will help you completely with this process when you arrive in St. Petersburg. You will need to contact us on your arrival and arrange to bring your documents to us within 3 days. Currently this will be:
-
Your passport
-
Your landing card (you will be given one of these on the flight over or at the border)
-
A photocopy of your passport (picture page), your landing card and your visa. This will be done at our office in St. Petersburg.
-
Your registration fee. These are:
We will then complete all the necessary forms with you and submit them to the local UFMS.
You will then be required to return to our office to collect your documents and your registration.
The day before you leave Russia, you will need to bring the 'tear off strip' to our office so that we may return it to the UFMS for you to 'de-register' your stay.
Each time you enter Russia, you need to register.
What will happen if I don't register my stay when I am in Russia? 
Please remember that your Russian visa is an exit visa as well as an entry visa. If you don't register your visit then technically it could lead to problems with the authorities including fines and detention. In practice though this is a very rare occurrence. However, if you do not register your stay within the required time then you will risk exposing yourself to "fines" by the local police or other officials who may stop and check your passport. But again this does not happen often.
We will be in St. Petersburg to ensure that the registration process is carried out correctly.
