The process of registering a foreign visitor's presence in Russia within 7 business days of arrival. Usually done by the hotel or hosting organization.
Visa registration (officially called "migration registration" or "notification of arrival") is the legal requirement for all foreign visitors to register their location in Russia within 7 business days of arrival. This is NOT the same as the visa itself — it's an additional step after you've already entered the country.
How registration works: 1. You arrive in Russia and pass through border control 2. Within 7 business days, your "host" must register you 3. The host submits a notification to the local MVD migration office 4. You receive a tear-off portion (отрывная часть) as proof of registration 5. You must keep this document throughout your stay
Important rules:
The registration document (tear-off portion) should be kept with your passport at all times, as police may ask to see it during document checks.
