Moscow Survival Guide! These mistakes will really get you deported!

Going to Moscow to see Red Square and visit the Kremlin? Russia has more rules than nesting dolls 🪆 First, keep this "Survival Guide" safe! These mistakes will definitely get you deported! 🚨 Top 5 Dangerous Behaviors 1. Delaying registration upon arrival → Get a 5-year ban gift package ⚠️ Major trouble zone: Forgetting to get the registration slip when staying at a homestay! (Must re-register if changing accommodation!) 💸 Consequence: Directly triggers Article 18.8 of Russian immigration law — deportation + 5 years no return (Hotel guests automatically safe, homestay guests quickly ask the landlord to tear up the "registration slip"!) 2. Fare evasion on the metro → Police collect tuition fees on the spot 🚇 Magical reality: Jumping over the turnstile = public humiliation + 1000₽ fine (enough for 25 metro rides!) 📌 Survival tip: Use a card! Paper tickets must be inserted into the exit machine! (Don’t ask, those fined are crying right now) 3. Smoking on the street recklessly → Wallet instantly gets thinner 🚬 Cold fact: No smoking within 15 meters of station or mall entrances 🙅 💡 Look for the life-saving yellow post: it directs you to the smoking booth! Even e-cigarette users, don’t be stubborn! 4. Recklessly photographing military facilities → Camera dies on the spot 📸 Dangerous case: Taking photos of military camps (even secretly with a phone counts!) 🔞 Consequence: At best, photos deleted; at worst, taken in for questioning (Legal basis: Article 11 of Russian National Security Law) ✅ Quick reflexes: When you see the red sign "Съёмка запрещена" (Filming prohibited), put away your camera faster than a Russian bear runs! 5. Overspending cash → Merchants refuse to accept it 💸 Ridiculous threshold: Single cash payment over 100,000 rubles (≈¥8000)? ⚖️ Merchant’s mindset: Anti-money laundering law No. 115 warning! Accepting this and my store is gone! 💳 Survival advice: Bring a UnionPay or credit card that can withdraw cash, and ask about payment methods for expensive purchases 😱 Local people shake their heads at these hidden traps 🍽 Social death scene Putting cash under the table after the meal 🙅👉 Use card or put cash in the clip given by the waiter ⛪ Dress code nightmare at churches Women entering Orthodox churches: headscarf + knee-length skirt! 🍾 Late-night alcohol buying misery From 11 PM to 8 AM, supermarket alcohol cabinets are locked! Vodka lovers, stock up in advance 💎 Secret survival toolbox ▶︎ Yandex Translate: Instantly translate Russian signs by taking photos (Life-saving rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) ▶︎ SIM cards can be purchased directly on Trip.com (Make sure to ask if biometric verification has been done) What weird rules have you been caught off guard by in Russia?
