Ourbumble Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Hi everyone, we are currently in northern Norway and heading over towards Finland. We are thinking of travelling to Russia for a few days but struggling to find any true facts on whether it is possible to 1. enter the country with a motorhome 2. Just turn up at the border crossing and apply for visa Does anyone have any experience of taking their motorhome to Russia? Thanks in advnace.

Addie Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Catherine and Chris from 'The World is Our Lobster' took their Motorhome to Russia, it wasn't the best experience for them as you can read on their blog: http://www.theworldisourlobster.com/The_World_Is_Our_Lobster/Blog/Entries/2012/6/8_126_Belarus.html http://www.theworldisourlobster.com/The_World_Is_Our_Lobster/Blog/Entries/2012/6/8_127_Russia_-_Moscow.html http://www.theworldisourlobster.com/The_World_Is_Our_Lobster/Blog/Entries/2012/6/15_128_Russia_-_West.html http://www.theworldisourlobster.com/The_World_Is_Our_Lobster/Blog/Entries/2012/6/22_129_Latvia.html Personally, we opted to leave the van in Helsinki and do a side-trip to St Petersburg which you can visit 'Visa Free' by using the cruise ship loophole as described in our blog: http://www.europebycamper.com/2011/06/helsinki-to-st-petersburg-visa-free.html http://www.europebycamper.com/2011/06/st-petersburg-russia.html It's a bit obsecure to find and perhaps now a bit out of date, but by far the most detailed account of taking a motorhome to Russia (66 pages!) was written by Jill and Harry Perry back in 2009. There is a PDF file of their account that can be downloaded here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/es8by7xjfyhd2pm/Russia+Journal+v3.pdf (big green 'Download 2.05MB button top right). Hope that's helps :-) Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebeaches Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I assume your motor insurance (and possibly breakdown cover) are important aspects to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
