Student

Who is it for?

A Student visa is required in order to enter Russia to study in any Russian University or attend short term courses.  Dates of validity of the visa will correspond with the dates mentioned on your letter of invitation issued by a Russian Federal Migration Service agency or a telex from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
