Step 3. Prepayment of the tuition fees

After getting the Letter of Admission, the first thing you do is to learn it properly paying attention to every section. In most cases the University requires prepayment of the preparatory course fee.  

Step 4. Making the invitation letter

We will apply for your invitation letter, which is prepared by Federal Migration Service office. The issue of the invitation letter for you usually takes 30-35 days. Since May, 2015 we provide our international students with electronic invitation letters, which are sent by e-mail. It is fast, convenient and free of charge. Note: The personal data indicated in electronic invitation letters include date and place of birth, nationality, passport number etc. except your name. Do not worry, there is no mistake. The electronic invitation letter is made in this way to prevent all your personal information sent via e-mail from getting lost.

Step 5. Getting a visa

After you get your invitation letter, you need to turn to the specific Embassy or Consulate of the Russian Federation in your country for applying for a Russian student visa. You need to bring your international passport and the printed invitation letter with you. Note: The first visa will be available for 90 days only!

You must come to the town of Kemerovo (the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass) in the period appointed by International Department. In case of late arrival, the extension of your visa will be impossible (visa extension must be made not less than 35 day before its expiry date). This means that you have to leave the territory of the Russian Federation after your visa expires. It follows the Russian federal migration decree № 430 dated 30th October, 2013 “On the approval of administrative regulation of government service delivery by Federal Migration Service of issue and provision of a visa, extending its validity period, its reissue for a foreign citizen and a stateless person”. Please, when your visa is issued, send a copy of it to the International Department.

You can clarify these points at the Russian Embassy in your country. For some countries it is important to get recognition for the Certificate of completed full secondary education. This procedure is made after your arrival to Russia.
