Visa registration when travelling by train

+1 vote
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?

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).
