Does it start afresh once you re-enter Russia. The registration within 7 days, does that have to happen each time you enter the country and can it done at Police stations as well as some hotels. Thanks in advance.

Well this is how i undertsand it but maybe i am wrong

Ok so say your visa was issued today then you can stay 90 days maxium in the first 180 day period and no more and for the next 180 days its the same 90 day rule

Yes you have to register each time you enter within 7 days also, best to plan your route so within the first 7 days you can get it done.

Hotels sometimes take 2 days to register.

I am no expert on this matter as i only ever stay for 1 or 2 weeks when i go to Russia so maybe others on this site can give a better answer

As far as i know you only have to register, when you stay more than 6 days on one spot.

If you travel, and you keep your gas bills and everything, than it should be OK.

I registered twice, just to had it done, took just the night…..

I am sure it is 7 days in the country regardless if you are traveling all the time or staying in one spot.

I could be wrong however evertime i have left Russia and have stayed more than 7 days (before this register thing was 3 days a few years ago) either from the airport or at the land border crossing i was asked for this register paper.

I did however once stay 9 days with out registering in which they said not to do again but had no issues otherwise

OK, more than 6 days = 7 days!!

I asked a few visa agencies and a lot of travelers.
Everyone told me, that just in case of staying in the same spot you need registration.

Only sometimes someone smart wants to make money out of it.

And if you have bills and can proof, that you change places, than you don't need registration.
My information might be wrong, but the travelers i asked did it so on quite some journeys.

And by the way, the registration thing with longer stay on one place we also have in a lot of european countries, they just don't see it this strict…..

Wesley is correct Russian Registration is now 7 working days so with the weekend thrown in thats 9 , also with the year long visa you can stay in the country for a maximum of 90 days then you have to leave for 90 , the cars under 10 years in Mongolia is only a rule set by the Mongolian rally organizers

ps officialy registration is not required if you keep moving around, BUT its FREE so why take the chance of being pulled by mr arse hole who insists he wants that slip , unless you speak Russian trying to argue is pointless

I also did register, even a lot of people told me I don't need it.

I did it that way, that We took a good Hotel in Omsk ( recommend the Ibis Sibir ) have a nice WiFi Spot and have registration………

And about the cars:
In the time when the mongol rally arrives, in 2013 i met some people, they had to leave some deposit on the border.
Some Mongolian told me, they just do that when the rally comes up, and they have the feeling that people would leave their car……

You can still see unsold old cars from the last years in UB, they don't want that anymore.
For example, a Fiat Uno will never be sold there…….
