Hi,

My mother and I will be travelling to Russia in August.

Both of us have valid Russian and South African passports.

We have lived outside Russia for over 20 years so we have the appropriate passports.

We will be going through Germany (intransit) to St Pietersburg.

We were told that we can use our Russian passports to get in and out of Russia and use our South African passports to leave South Africa to Germany and gain entry into Germany and South Africa on the way back after visiting Russia.

Is this true and is it done commonly without any problems?

Thanks a mill!:)
