Is it necessary to register for migration when visiting Russia on a 5-day electronic visa?

Question

If a foreigner arrives in Russia for a visit on a 5-day electronic visa, is it necessary to register for migration through the MFC?

Answer

Yes, migration registration may be required. If the foreigner is staying in a hotel, the hotel usually handles the registration.

If they are living in an apartment or with a private individual, the host is responsible for this: the property owner or the person with whom they are staying.

The notification can be processed through the MFC, MVD, or an available official online service, if it is suitable for your situation.
