We opted for the business visa. It took 2 weeks to get the invitation which was a form, we used an online service - fairly easy. That way we did not have to provide proof of hotel booking to apply for the visa. No hassles in & out other than the vladikavkaz border takes forever for foreigners - including Armenians & Azeris. Hotel did the registration,every place will stamp tons of forms, just hang on to them in case some official wants them. Volgograd was very fun. We went through saratov & Engels ...not the sexiest places but interesting & fantastic for the people we met, especially the crazy awesome bikers in Engels. They are a trip. Exited straight east to Kazakhstan. The road is lumpy. Watch out for psycho bus drivers, our friend ran into one...

a 1 year business visa allows you to be in the country up to 3 months per stay.
And up to 90 days in the previous 180. Worth adding here ... since I recently put in for a new business visa. The visa applications are (as of November) requiring a short autobiography, in Russian, and computer printed, to go with the business visa applications.

If I simply want to ride my bike from West to East and then ship it to USA, can I make that my "business"? Such as journalist or travel writer or "Global Travel reconnaissance"

Visa Regristration
Quote:
I was near Tver last year at a friend's house. I read about registering the Visa with the local post office. Somehow my GF convinced/had the post office guy stamp the paper and everything was good to go. I am not sure how this worked, but it was pretty easy and no cost. FWIW, I had a document from a US state that was "Apostle". This is over and above a standard Notary. I made a copy of it and had it "stamped" by notary at my US bank. The russian officials did not like the "Apostle" doc with embossed color foil deal etc, instead took the Notary doc with the blue circle stamp and scribbled handwritten signatures. Since then I have made some of my "own documents", had them "notarized" and everything works fine. YMMV
