We are Americans traveling the Trans-Sib from Vladivostok to Ulan Ude to Ulan Bator to Irkutsk and on to Moscow and St. Petersburg . We have been told we should cancel the trip into Mongolia as it is very difficult to re-enter Russia at the border. Evidently double-entry visas don't work. Since there is no visa requirment for Mongolia we are being told the Russian border refuses people because there is no proof of your whereabouts when you were gone.

We have been told it may be possible to obtain 2 separate tourist visas for Russia, therefore presenting the second one upon re-entry to Russia from Mongolia.

Can we obtain two Russian tourist visas at once before we enter Russia, or do we have to negotiate the second one while in Ulan Bator? We are getting conflicting info.

Has anyone had any experiences with this situation?

Any info would be appreciated.
