Visa and travel documents
Visa information for Russian course students
Visa rules depend on nationality, length of stay and the purpose of travel. Use this page as a course-planning guide, then check the current official Russian sources before booking non-refundable travel.
EducaCentre can advise on course-related documents and arrival questions, but the final visa decision belongs to the consulate or official electronic visa system.
Main routes
Short courses and longer courses may need different paperwork
| Route | Usually relevant for | Important note |

| Regular visa | Students whose nationality, stay length or travel plan is not covered by e-visa rules. | Processing time, documents and fees vary by country and consulate. |
