Matters needing attention when entering Russia:

When Russian citizens enter China, they should bring with them valid passports, visas, round-trip air tickets, hotel orders, and documents related to the purpose of entry, such as admission notice, invitation letter, address and contact information of contacts in Russia, etc., so that border inspectors can check them. Please do not put the above materials into the luggage.

After inspection by Russian border officials, computer-printed immigration cards will be handed over to immigrants, and immigration seals will be stamped on their passports before they can be released. China citizens should keep their entry cards properly after entering the country, so that they can show them when leaving the country.

Having a legal visa does not mean that you will be able to enter the country smoothly. According to the Russian entry and exit law, Russian border officials have the right to ask about the details of the planned entry. If the visa type does not match the purpose of entry, or they have questions about the invitation letter and the inviting unit, the border inspection officials have the right to refuse entry.
