Passport and Visa
A foreigner traveling to Russia should have a valid passport (expire date should be not earlier than 6 months after the date of visitor's departure from Russia) and an appropriate visa.
To get a visa, a visitor has to submit to a Russian Embassy or Consulate an official letter of invitation authorized by the Russian Ministry for Internal Affairs.
Each participant (and accompanying persons) who needs a visa will timely get such a letter if he (she) sends a copy of the page of a passport with photo by e-mail to Organizing Committee (icmpsn@yf-ftian.ru) as attached graphic file (or by fax +7(4852)24-65-52 ).
We are strongly advice to offer these data to Organizing Committee by March 1, 2012, at the latest. Please, follow these recommendations and apply for a visa as soon possible after receiving an original copy of the invitation to ensure that the visa is issued timely.
