Regular Days Hello, After spending quite a few hours online, I am still a bit confused whether I need to register my visa. I arrive on a Thursday and depart on the following Monday AM. So, I am in the country (Moscow) for 2.5 BUSINESS days, but for 4.5 total days. I know I don't need to register if I am in Russia for less than 3 days; what I can't figure out is whether that refers to 3 business days or 3 regular days (including weekends). I also know that I have 3 BUSINESS days to register, so if I am asked -- would not I be able to say in any case that my 3 business days to register are not up yet? Or would I have problems upon departure? Any insight will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Julia

For U.S. Citizens (and Canadians) you can stay up to 30 days on a regular Tourist Visa. You might want to check out: http://www.oneeasyvisa.com/country/russia They have good explanation of the process and the required documents for a tourist visa. My recommendation for a Russia visa is to probably go with a good third-party agency to get your visa for you. In this case, it's well worth the money.

I am looking to find out about REGISTERING my visa in Moscow and what the law says in my particular case of a rather short trip to Russia. I know exactly how to register the visa, I just don't want to do it if I don't have to. Thanks again. Julia

The "3 working days" don't include weekends, so you will be under the limit. If you stay at a hotel, they can easily register your visa (not expensively), and I would do so anyway. Otherwise, don't bother.
