Hi everyone!

(Sorry, this is not a question directly related to living in Russia as an expat -- I'm planning to move there, but first I want to travel within the country for a bit... I figured some of you guys would be able to help me.)

I'm considering to buy a plane ticket from Beijing to Vladivostok, in order to process a transit visa from Vladivostok to Moscow (I'm also going to buy train tickets from Vlad to Moscow, and from Moscow to Kiev, all in advance).

The thing is, I hate taking the plane, but there's no other way (given my current Chinese visa) to board a train in Vlad, and go all the way to Moscow: I can't process a tourist nor a business visa here in Beijing, and I can't buy a bus or a train ticket in advance to travel from China to Vladivostok.

SO! My question is: if I cancel my plane ticket after I get my transit visa, and end up crossing the Russian border at Suifenhe (overland), will everything be OK? Or do the immigration officers have a way to check that I only enter Russia at Vladivostok airport, and not anywhere else?

Cheers,
Dorian
