Regarding the new visa regulation where a EU national can only stay in Russia for 90 days out of every 180 period:

An immigration company clerk is now claiming that the 90-day limit is waived if one holds a registration for a period longer than that (e.g., for a year). I have only received this information second-hand, but will meet with her tomorrow to hear what she has to say first-hand.

If this were true, it would be a great relief of course (it's easy to register for an entire year at the post office, for a hundred roubles or so). But I'm doubting. The visa regulation text posted on this board didn't make any such provisions (registration waiving the 90-day limit), as far as I could tell. Furthermore, the border authorities do not care about registrations, right? So how could the registration affect visa validity then, if the border authorities don't care about registrations. Furthermore, it needs to be an undoubted fact, and not some obscure interpretation of the law, to make sure there is no trouble at the border (the border guards to not always seem very interested in details like these -- for good and bad, brings uncertainty into the picture).

If anyone has more information on this, please share...

As suspected, this turned out to be a useless trail. It doesn't seem to help with a long registration.

the 90/180 rule seems to apply to all countries I found out this myself in the Russian consulate in sydney yesterday on the 21/02/2008
