Russian visa registration – farewell to frustration & faff

As you might have read in the Travel Press, IntouristUK has sliced through the red tape, harnessing the latest cool technology to save you timewasting tedium. Now you can register your visa directly from your office or apartment in Russia, without ever going near an OVIR office or sitting in a straggling queue.

The whole thing works smoothly – you simply photograph your Immigration Form (the one they stamped at Passport Control) and send it by MMS to us. (For you advanced people with scanners, yes, you can use them too). Your completed Registration pops-up in your email inbox for you to print-out.. and it all conforms to local rules, the perfect antidote for inquisitive cops. “Old hands” will already know this, but registering your visa is a local legal requirement – hotels will do it for you, but if your stay is based on a rented apartment, or you are visiting an industrial site, or with friends, the only legal route (until now!) was a visit to a Police Station (OVIR) with all your documents… and often a second visit if they didn’t like your documents the first time around.

The price for the service is £50 including official legal fees – surely worth saving the entire day your OVIR visit would take? And you can’t put a price on comfort, convenience, and reassurance! This special service is available to all world travellers visiting Russia – even if your travel didn’t originate from the UK. IntouristUK are the only agency offering this service!
