Official Russia

I have been traveling to Russia over 10 years on Tourist and Private Stay visas. It is not necessary to register with the same host that sponsored your travel visa. I always went to a friendly tourist agency, which is not the same one as my hosting agency just because it was much cheaper.

However, I do have a question if anyone has ever traveled on Tourist Visa, but actually stayed at an apartment and registered through Landlord’s Post Office. Technically it shouldn’t be a problem, because you are not obligated to stay at the hotel that you are booked for various reasons such as hotel being overbooked, too many cockroaches, or simply because you changed your mind. Therefore, if I never had any problems registering with a different host, I probably shouldn’t have any problems registering through a private homestay.

Any thoughts on this one?
