Hi everyone,

Im planning to take the train from London towards to beijing via moscow.

The problem is the Russia transit visa only valid for 3 days.

It seems the train running more than 3 days within the Russia.

If I apply for a tourist visa and how can I register the visa while Im on the train??


Thanks!

If you take the Trans Siberian from Russia to Beijing a transit visa will not work for you. Transit visas are designed for people changing planes etc.

You will need a 30 day tourist visa for the trip. Period.

If your entire time is spent on the train, OR, if you get off and spend less than 72 hours in any one spot, you do not need to register.

Keep your train tickets as proof of your movements.
