Explication Détaillée

A migration card (Russian: миграционная карта) is a small paper document that every foreign visitor must fill out upon entering Russia. It is provided by the airline, train, or border control officer and must be completed before passing through passport control.

The migration card has two identical halves (A and B):

  • Part A (entry) — kept by border control when you enter Russia
  • Part B (exit) — stamped and returned to you; you MUST keep this throughout your stay

Information on the migration card:

  • Full name (as in passport)
  • Date of birth
  • Passport number
  • Purpose of visit (tourism, business, work, study, etc.)
  • Duration of stay
  • Inviting organization (if applicable)
  • Entry point (airport/border crossing name)

Why the migration card is important: 1. Required for hotel check-in (hotels need it for registration) 2. Required for visa registration within 7 business days 3. Must be presented when leaving Russia (Part B) 4. Needed for any visa extension or status change 5. Police may ask to see it during document checks

If you lose your migration card, you must report it to the nearest MVD migration office within 3 days and obtain a replacement. Leaving Russia without surrendering Part B can result in future entry bans.

Note: Migration cards are gradually being digitized, and some entry points now process them electronically. However, the paper version is still standard at most border crossings.

Questions Fréquemment Posées

What happens if I lose my migration card in Russia?

You must report the loss to the nearest MVD migration office within 3 days to get a replacement. Without it, you may face problems at hotel check-in, police checks, and when leaving Russia.

Do I fill out the migration card on the plane?

Usually yes. Airlines flying to Russia distribute migration cards during the flight. If not, you can get one at the border control area before passport check.
