Hi,
@Ron: I've been through Russia a while ago and it's true what Jordan says about the visa. Now what i did is get an invitation online and applied for a 3 moth business visa. Not through an agent. Did it on my own, no problems.
I got to say that i don't know the rules for Americans. But just wanted to let you know that it could be possible.
I stayed on a total of little over 2 months in Russia just 1 time in e hotel.
Never been asked for the registration(as they call it). Also not at the borders.
But again, maybe it changed. I didn't bother about it. I did hear of others who they did ask though.
Maybe you can ask others like Colebatch. He's been there several times.
Wishing you a nice trip next year!
:-)
