Does anyone know if the border agents are likely to care if I arrive 3 days earlier via St Petersburg for some sightseeing? I will be travelling with the missus who has 14 days visa free and we are planning on taking the high speed train to Moscow and fly out from there. Should I get a tourist visa (looks like a lot of paperwork) or will I be fine with the ABTC

Thanks a lot.
I think in general ABTC allows you to use your visa for Business and Tourist purpose anyway? Just tell them your office staff booked the wrong ticket if being asked?
