A lady told me on the phone the other day that if we want to arrive in Russia by trainfrom kazahstan we can only have a russian transit visa and not a tourist one. and that with that transit visa we arent allowed to get off the train. However I was wondering and hoping that this isnt true and that when we arrive from kazahstan by train that a tourist visa will be enough. Is this correct? has anyone done it before? Thank you fiona
