Russian visas

• Foreign participants will require Russian visas to enter the country.

• The easiest type of visa is a single-entry (30 days stay) TOURIST visa.

• For this type of visa, it usually takes several days to obtain your visa through a Russian Embassy or Consulate in your country.

• For any type of Russian visa, you need special VISA INVITATION DOCUMENTS, issued by an agent authorized by the Home Affairs Ministry.

• Please note: Our standard Conference registration confirmation or invitation letter will not suffice for these purposes.

• The Organizing committee can assist in obtaining these special visa invitation documents through the conference authorized travel agent.

• For participants who make reservation via City Tourist Office visa support service would be provided free of charge. Invitation would be issued in several hours.

• Processing of your visa invitation letters may take 2-3 days, and most Consulates will accept electronic invitation documents. Please note, however, that in some countries, original documents may be required by Russian Consulates.

All necessary information (including contacts of all Russian Consulates around the world, application forms and all rules and regulations) is available at www.visa-centre.ru
