Unless something has changed very very recently, you need to get registration. I am not sure where people are saying you dont need to do anything once in ... but do yourself a favour and go to a hotel in your first few days int he country and get registration. Pay em a bit extra and see if they will register you for the duration of your stay.

You can either do that or go to a police station and it there.
I can not remember exactly what you need but just have on you a copy of your passport and visa page.

Make sure you do this! Ive heard of people having a lot of trouble when leaving the country.

Colebatch is right. In Volgograd now and registered on Monday. We checked into a hotel, to clean up and let them do the registration for us, though they took a little persuading (big holiday this week for Victory Day celebrations!) Cost about $10 (250Rbs) and was done the same day. Have met locals here who said they`ve heard of travellers who`ve had problems when not registered, especially on exit?! We plan to camp much of the rest of our time in Russia (til the end of May) but will probably use another hotel later to get another stamp? Hope this is of some use?
Robin.

Sorry, should add the police station thing takes a while (half day or so by yourself if you speak some Russian it will obviously be a little easier!?) and you need your passport and the registration slip which you will have filled out and stamped on entry...
Good luck.

Hi

I'm not sure if police station works good, usually they might send you to the post office, where this can be also done (last time they told us, post office will do it only if you are within 3 working days - allthough 7 was the magic number), but as with doing yourself, it could take some time and needs language skills.
Simplest is hotel, that might be a reason why you are sometimes turned away from hotels (cheap ones), that don't want to have hazzle with foreigners.
We just got our visas (astonishingly fast and a lot time in advance), there was a letter accompanying them, where the possibility of an online registration for the whole stay was mentioned (we had full service for business/tourist visa), I would have to scan the migration card and send it to them, rest should be done by them. Perhaps I try this.

Regards

Christian

PS last time we didn't need the 7 working days to Mongolia, but after reentering in Kjachta, they told us, our clock was already at 5 days, when we entered, so we had to register quickliy in Ulanude.
