You must take this into account in particular when travelling in the overnight train Tolstoi as the train crosses the border only during the day following the day of departure." | |

| Jun 24, 2016 at 1:24 | comment | added | Andrew Savinykh | @Mehrdad the exit was at a different geographic location than the entrance. So no it was not the same officer. They did not ask any clarification from me, so I personally did not even know what the problem had been until I was returned my passport an hour later with two new stamps. One was a template filled in by hand (for entry), the name of the town was crossed out and the name of entry town was pasted instead and the other one was the standard exit stamp. | |

| Jun 23, 2016 at 5:53 | comment | added | Andrew Savinykh | @AndreyChernyakhovskiy the one I dealt with, was so polite/chatty that he forgot to stamp my passport on entry (that is entering Finland). I was detained on exit because there was no entry stamp in my passport. Luckily just for an hour until they realized what happened. | |

| Jun 23, 2016 at 5:31 | comment | added | ach | 'While the Finnish conductors and even the passport/toll people often seem rather nice (and I have heard one joke around with the passengers)' - Huh? Finnish? Nice? I once tried to be polite to one and greeted him with a 'Hyvää huomenta' - he interrogated me as to whether I'd learnt Finnish in order to illegally stay in Finland. | |
