Visa Registration in Russia

All Russian Visas should be registered upon arrival to the Russian Federation.

Your Russian visa must be registered within 72 hours of arrival (excluding weekends and official holidays).

If you are staying at a hotel in Russia, you can register your visa at the front desk. You will be asked for your visa and a passport. A small registration fee may be imposed.

If you are not staying at a hotel or you are in Russia on a business visa, our office in St. Petersburg will provide registration services. It takes 1 working day.

If your final destination is not Moscow or St. Petersburg and you are not staying at a hotel, you will need to register your visa with a local UVIR. We will provide you with an official letter requesting UVIR officials to register your visa promptly.

Please note that not registering your Russian visa may lead to serious problems: detention by police, fines on departure, prevention from boarding the plane, etc. We strongly advise you to register your Russian visa to avoid possible unnecessary inconveniences.
