How does the border crossing go? First you cross border to exit russia, do you get both - russian and mongolian border officials on the train at the same time? or is it russians first and then after them - mongolians when you enter mongolia? What do they check - passports? what about tickets and stuff? The reason why i'm asking is i have 2 passports (also complicated by 2 different names in both passports) and want to exit russia on one but enter Mongolia on another, i emailed mongolian embassy but they never reply... Did anyone has an experience in similar situation? or remember how does the border crossing go? cheers!
