Visas -
A full visa support service is available in accordance with the choice and length of courses. Students should bear in mind that visas for up to three months are valid for a single entry and exit, whilst those for a period from three to twelve months are valid for multiple entries. The process of obtaining a Russian visa is as follows:

Upon confirmation of course details and, where appropriate, payment of a deposit, the Faculty arranges an official invitation through the Ministry of Education. Fees are shown below.

The original invitation is sent by express mail to the student.

The student applies for a normal visa application in the Embassy on or after the date instructed by the Faculty. A visa will not be issued before this date. For visas with validity over three months an HIV test may be required. Students should contact their nearest Russian consulate to obtain forms and details regarding application requirements.

The student will have to pay consular fees to the embassy for a visa to be issued, and these will depend on the applicant's citizenship and the speed in which the visa must be issued.
