Arriving in Russia

On the plane -
You will be given a migration card to fill out, with normal personal details to be filled in for your arrival.

On Arrival at airport -
You will fly into Sheremetevo Airport and walk through the building to the customs section. There will be a number of queues for foreigners and it is a simple matter to hand over your passport and migration card there for stamping.

In Country -
In Russian Law any foreigner must register their visa if he/she stays more than 3 days in one place. We will take care about this registration when you arrive but you MUST always be with your group and keep your passport on you at all times. This is important to remember since authorities can ask anytime to see your visa. At each area visited, it will be necessary to register your presence with the local Department. We will do this for you.
