Visa process & support
After the university admission letter (issued in 3-4 weeks) and the Russian Ministry of Education's invitation letter (4-6 weeks), students apply for a student visa, normally ready in about 3 weeks. The consultant handles visa documentation and can arrange a travel package, currency exchange and pre-departure orientation, plus post-arrival support and a campus buddy once the student lands in Russia.
