Hi i thank for the great work of informationyou are doing with this site.
I arrived in russia and spent there the night of 11th (tuesday) of august.in an hostel in moscow . There wasn't enough time to do registration of visa cause i had to move from hotel at 6.00 to take the flight to krasnoyarsk the 12 th (wednesday)

I spent in krasnoyarsk the first night in an hotel, asking many times if they are authorized to do registration. They answer yes .
I stayed just one night in the hotel and the day after the 13th (thursday) when i went away they didn,t put any print on passport.. immigration card
but they just give me a paper called registration card , that seemed to be an internal document of registration ..they say it is enough.. is this a registration of visa ?

I have this big doubt .. they just say it is enough but i.m not sure I.m ok with visa registration
i.m thinking what to do not have problems

I was thinking to register me in house of my friend but :
1 Here in krasnoyarsk the lanlord can.t registrate me in post office (we tried)
2 OVIR, or office of immigration today(monday) is closed as it was closed on saturday an sunday.

I.m thinking to move somewhere and try to doanother registration ...
But i-.m worried anyway because maybe the 1st registration,the one of first 3 days the most important maybe is not coorrect

which advice you can give me ???

THANKS!!!

I know it's a late reply and probably not relevant to you now. But for others who may have the same or similar question, here's the answer. You as a visitor don't get anything stamped or printed on passport or migration card anymore.
