Please note, you will have a layover in Serbia so make sure you have a minimum of 50 USD to exchange in the vending machine to cover your food and coffee for one trip through BEG.
Also note, very important.... if you are planning to bring U.S. currency to exchange into Russian Rubles the U.S. currency must be in brand new condition and void of any marks that will show up under UV lighting, each U.S. dollar will be checked at least three times. Make sure the USD you bring look like they are directly from the U.S. Federal Reserve!
Russian Border Patrol,
I have a three year multiple entry private visa and I was detained for 3.5 hours, and in this time two Russian Customs Agents interrogated me extensively. Be prepared by 1.- Having a picture of your partner's International Russian Passport (not domestic passport) in your phone. 2.- Have your partner's cellphone number immediately available. 3.- Make sure you leave plenty of time for your connecting flight to your partner's city.
This is all I can think of at the moment, feel free to ask questions as needed.... I wish you all the best, safe travels to all of you and your families!
