Once i get there i am confused as to how to register. 2. does the invitation supplied by WTR provide hotel reservations for my entire stay? will the hotel provided by WTR on my invitation register me? 3. considering that the hotel registers me, can i just leave and stay with my friend or will that cause me problems if i get stopped and they ring the hotel to find out if i really have been staying there? or can the hotel make problems for me by calling the authorities and tell them that i actually haven't been there? sorry if i sound paranoid but i'm new to this and just want to cover my all bases.

We will be going on one over New Year though and have been doing some research. From what I read though, it seems that you can stay at a private home and your host has the responsibility of your registration and deregistration after you leave. All this is now done at the post office and is supposedly quite simple. As far as I am aware you can apply for a tourist visa 90 days in advance. Hope this helps.
