Question:
|
|
|
We are moving to Moscow quite soon, and in need of some help with registration information.
We arrive to Moscow on Dec 12, Fri. As far as I know a foreigner has to register with OVIR during 3 days after arrival. I assume it's 3 buiseness days, but you never know.
So my first question is are they 3 calendar days or business days?
Upon arrival we are going to do some traveling. The plans are to go to Rostov-on-Don for the holidays. I just heard that a foreigner has to register at any city he/she visits. Is it true?
Does my wife have to register with Rostov's OVIR if we are only staying there for about two weeks?
When buying a plane or a train ticket, a Russian citizen has to present his/her passport.
What about a foreigner? Does a foreigner need any other documents besides a passport with visa when buying tickets?
Will we encounter any problems bying, say, regular train tickets just with our passports? |

Dear Mrs.Surfer,
The registration procedure should be started within 3 working days after your arrival, that means that the day of arrival is not to be taken into consideration as well, so if you are arriving on December 12, You should apply for a registration not later then Wednesday December 17th.
Please also note that the registration procedure in OVIR usually takes 4 working days, so if you are planning to go to Rostov-on -Don, we would recommend to stay at the hotel so your visa will be registered while you are checking in for about 2 weeks.
If You have a week here in Moscow, then it is better to wait to get a registration in Moscow OVIR and then go to Rostov.
All the above mentioned information is true for business visa only, tourist visa can not be registered in OVIR but in the hotel only. Responsibility for a registration takes only the company that had issued the invitation for a visa.
As about the tickets - a foreigner need to show any ID document (diplomat card, passport etc) with a photo to buy a ticket, so you won't have any problems with buying train tickets just with your passports.
