When |
- within 72 hours upon your arrival if you stay in an apartment, within 24 hours upon arrival if you stay in a hotel

Where: |
1. If you are staying at a hotel |
- the hotel will register your visa;
- a small registration fee can be imposed.
|
2. If you are not staying at a hotel |
- the local UVIR within three or more working days;
- an authorised Russian company which has arranged for your invitation letter within two days.
- a small registration fee can be imposed.
|
3. For business visas registration |
a notarized letter from your landlord is required:
