Registration issues

When you enter the territory of Russia, you will have to fill in the migration card. Please, keep it safe until the end of your stay in Russia - it's important.

After you have arrived to Moscow, within three working days you have to apply for Moscow registration paper, providing the necessary documents to Federal Migration Service. You need to have your passport, migration card and visa (in case it's not printed in your passport) with you. You will obtain your registration in 1 - 3 days' time. In case you do not take care of this formality in time, you will have to pay the fine (2000 R), and you also risk to have problems with Russian police. So - be attentive!
