Visa registration when travelling by train

Question

Hi,

I am planning to travel the Trans Mongolian this summer. For obtaining a visa, I would like to use your invitation system. But how often do I need to register my visum then? The total stay in Russia will exceed the 7 working days.

You usally let your hotel arrange this for you, but when you sleep in a train, this is not possible. Do I need to go to the police at every stop or will one validation by the visa issuing company will sufficient?

Answer 1

Usually the registration done by the visa issuing company is for the whole period of your visa validity, so it's the best way to do it. A hotel will also register your visa but only for the duration of your stay at the hotel.

Your visa needs to be registered in every city you're staying longer than 7 days, so of course you won't need to register it while on the train or if you stop in a new city for 2-3-4 days (which is usually enough for the Trans-Siberian).
