Hi Ted, I wouldn't get the registration done through them. The biggest problem with registration is police, not leaving the country. They don't care about your registration at the airport. I have once registered and didn't pick it up till the last day of my stay and had no problem. A friend of mine once registered and never picked it up. Of course we were both white females, so we weren't hassled by police. You can always get a friend or your hotel/hostel to register you if you need to. (The hotel should do it anyway.) And places like gotorussia register you cheaper than your travel agent is offering. Rebecca

What I would like to know is:? MUST I get this visa registered in Moscow? The reason I ask is that the agency will do it for an extra $80 fee.? On top of the $80, it will take me some time to get to their Moscow office to drop off my visa, and then return some days later to pick it up.? (I am visiting a friend at their datcha some 100 KM outside of Moscow.) So, without this registration stamp, will I be prevented from getting through passport control at Shevemeteo and boarding my flight? >From my past experiences at Sheve (I have gone in and out dozens of times over >the last decade), the ONLY way the passport control people can block your exit >is if you have OVERSTAYED. Any advice? Thanks,???? Ted -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
