Train scheduled to leave Russia before visa expiry but is delayed – what happens?

This situation is hard to answer, as the trains has much more stable schedule rather than planes, so there are no such situations I can find about Russian railways. This could be two ways – the border officers would have a previous date stamps or not. If the train would be delayed and dates switched, your friend still has a trouble. But, again, this situation is no so probable as the trains in Moldova haven’t been delayed recently.

However, in 2014 there was an accident on this train (link in Russian) and it has been delayed for a 6 hours. After that, before the accident results were fixed, trains were delayed up to 4 hours (link in Russian) on this route.

So, if your friend feels unlucky, she can use other options, but I think this is safe for she to use this train, as in case of emergency it will be easier to explain the visa date expiration.
