Russian Migration card (Arrival /Departure slip):

• Upon entering Russia, you’ll be issued with a migration card – either already filled in if crossing at one of Moscow’s major airports or otherwise blank, requiring it to be filled in (English is fine). The rather inconsequential-looking slip of paper is more important than you think. You will be need it to register at hotels and to leave the country – it’s valuable, so don’t lose it.
• Migration card can be provided to all pax in aircraft before lending at Moscow or one can find it before immigration counter. Please fill in the migration card clearly in Roman block letters.
• There are two parts in the slip – arrival & departure. Arrival part will be deposited on arrival immigration and departure part will be returned to the pax with immigration stamp.
• Now a day’s most of time it is not required to fill and mostly immigration officer fill details in computer and provide you copy of same and you need to sign it only.
• Please keep your departure part of Migration Card during the period of your stay in Russia. On the base of this migration card hotel will register you. During your return journey it is required for immigration and you need to submit it to the Border Control officer while passing departure passport control procedure. Without this slip guest even cannot stay in the Hotel (Hotel will need it for registration).
• Every foreign tourist is required to be registered officially in Russia within 72 hours of arriving. Without Migration card one cannot stay at hotel. Normally, registration is done automatically at any hotel where you stay, but if you’re staying with friends or family, a trip to the local post office/department will be necessary in order to take care of this.

TIME – Now a days’ Time is GMT + 3 in both cities: Moscow & St. Petersburg i.e. two and half hour behind Indian Standard Time.

Use the Pedestrian Underpasses and be Careful on the Zebra Crossings: Just a few years ago, zebra crossing was more of a suggested crossing point than a spot were cars were obliged to stop. Things have changed for the better, but nonetheless watch out for cars that fail to give way – there are still plenty of them around.
Fortunately there is help at hand in the form of pedestrian underpasses, which can be found at just about every major street corner and along most busy roads. Just keeps an eye out for the blue sign depicting a stick figure walking down a flight of stairs.

RUSSIAN CURRENCY– All prices are generally quoted in Russian roubles. You may exchange currency at hotels, banks, and currency exchange kiosks. Traveller’s checks are hard to cash. Credit cards are accepted in most places that work with foreign tourists. Some may turn down American Express. Visa and MasterCard are known, hence — more widely honoured. ATM machines are widely available in major cities, but note: they do not have letters on the key pad, so if you’re PIN includes letters, do remember them as digits! Do not exchange currency in the streets if a native Russian offers to sell you roubles. Always carry some currency with you because many shops do not accept credit cards.

Remember to change your roubles to dollars/euro before you leave Russia. Most exchange office outside Russia will not change roubles.

Right now 01USD = App. 65 Roubles (03rd Sep 2015) Please don’t bring old dollars or Euros notes. Currency should be clean without any stamp, sign or any Mark on it. Russian banks/ currency change kiosks may refuse to exchange those. It’s better to bring new EURO or USD notes. Don’t bring travellers checks. It will be a hard to find Place to Cash them and it’ll take you a lot of time.

CLIMATE – Most of country has a continental climate, with long cold winter and short summer.
