You can get a Russian visa only through a Russian General Consulate in your country of residence.

To apply for a Russian visa, you need to submit the appropriate necessary documents (support documents), which depend on the rules of the General Russian Consulate in your country.

Before getting your necessary support documents from our side, we advise you to contact the mission service or the travel agency used by your company (university or institution). They will tell you which type of Russian visa is requested for you (and if needed your spouse or accompanying person).

The organizing committee of RADECS 2023 can provide the support documents for two types of visa: TOURIST OR BUSINESS.

We advise you to obtain a tourist visa, if your company allows it. A tourist visa should be simpler for you and it is the only possible solution for your accompanying person. But if your company requires a business visa, we can of course provide all the necessary documents.
