Those who stay no more than 10 working days from entry and leave within that period need not register. Organisations and hosts that invited foreigners, and people in whose homes foreigners live, must register them within 10 working days of arrival, not counting weekends and public holidays. Foreigners holding an e-visa are exempt from registration with the internal-affairs bodies.

It says that if you do not follow the procedure, you may not be allowed to leave until it is resolved, which may result in fines or detention.
