\"\"Most students who travel to Russia will require a visa. However, which visa you require will depend on your nationality and the length of your stay. Please note that the following is intended as a guide and we always strongly recommend that you contact your local Russian Consulate or Embassy with regards to specific visa requirements.<\/p>\n

For all Russian visas you will require a letter of invitation, which will be sent to you upon receipt of your full payment. Please note that to produce your letter of invitation, the school will require some additional information from you. This varies slightly depending on the type of visa that you are applying for, please read on for further information.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There will be no additional charge to send you a letter of invitation, although if you require the original, you will need to pay the courier fees. Please ensure that you check with your Consulate whether a copy of the letter of invitation is sufficient (in which case this can be sent to you via email) or whether they will need to see the original copy (in which case this will need to be sent to you via courier). Usually, if you are applying for a student visa, you will require the original copy.<\/p>\n
