Migration card is a nice little piece of paper (see above) and one needs to fill it at the boarder. Then one hands out his/her migration card to customs officials and they stamp the M card and then hand it back to you. Migration card is not to be lost, because the registration remarks are done on the migration card. When registration is complete, one gets his/her M card back. When one leaves Russia the customs officials might again show some interest to M card as they're curious to know that registration is done properly. |

Forget about learning Russian in terms of being able to fill out the Visa Form... I've studied Russian for the past 6 years, I'm probably at least an average student of the language.
But the language I never seem to get is the language of the 'bureaucrat'...
I never quite understood what the difference between a private visit, a tourist visit, even a study visit, is supposed to be... if I'm on a private visit, I better not get caught inside a museum, if I'm on a tourist visit, I better not get caught learning something?
I suppose its just me, but I don't know what type of visit I'm on...last time I went we spent a few days looking at sites and a few days visiting relatives...and I killed a guy.
It's confusing, and never mind homicide isn't even a choice to check....don't know how they are going to track anything important with their lame choices.
I cannot stand bureacracy...if there was a country without it, wow, that would be one attractive country. |

I know that DELTA also carries them for each country they fly into.. You get them a few hours before you land. |

Just flew in, and they gave me 2 cards, both Russian / English. I won't believe that story until I see those new cards, it sounds like a typical urban legend to me.
And even if it were true it wouldn't matter much. You're supposed to fill in those cards in the plane, and the flight attendants are here to help you in case of trouble. |

Not so much urban legend, rather history. The cards went back to English and Russian ages ago. If you look you will see that this thread is quite old.
When I went in 2004 or 2006 (can't remember) the cards were in Russian only. The many non Russian speakers on board were frantic and the crew were not much help. |
