I was planning on getting a Russian tourist visa and a Chinese tourist visa, but the complexity of this site's visa application instructions made me sort of anxious -- which cities should I claim that I am staying in, if half of my trip will be spent on or around a train? Will I be allowed to get off of the train and explore Siberia a little bit? As an American, will I be allowed to leave Russia into China? Is there anything else I should watch out for? I'm sure this sort of thing has been addressed many times before, so forgive my ignorance. Thanks so much.

It’s enough to point out 5 major cities. These are: Moscow, Yekaterinburg, Khabarovsk, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok. As you wrote you’re going to spend 7 days in Moscow first. You’re supposed to get your registration out there. It should be done either by the hotel you will stay in or yourself/friends if you stay at the appartement. Of course you can explore Siberia, but you’re obliged to get a new registration in each city if you are going to spend there more than three working days. If not, you’re free not to register. At last, you’re allowed to go to China after having visited Russia in a case you’ve a chinese visa also. And it’s strongly recommended to have the originals (and copies just in case) of your voucher and confirmation. <deleted-no advertising. please read the rules!!>

Can you tell me how you finally obtained your visum? THanks, that would be a great deal of help and good luck with planning your trip!!!! Bye...
