Russian Visa Registration
With effect from January 15th, 2007, Russian Federation implemented new rules of registration of foreign visitors. They are now very much similar to those used within the European Union, which means that crossing the border you already have all the necessary documents: you passport with valid Russian Visa and an immigration card you receive at the customs.
