Is Migration Registration Required for a Visit on an Electronic Visa?

Question

If a foreigner arrived in Russia on an electronic visa for a visit, is it necessary to register for migration?

Answer

Yes, the issue of migration registration needs to be addressed. If the person is staying in a hotel, the hotel usually handles the registration itself.

If he is staying with a private individual, the notification is handled by the host — the property owner or the person with whom he is staying.
