  VISAS

Citizens of most countries (probably excluding only a few countries of the former Soviet Union) need an entry visa. For current information, please contact your nearest Russian Embassy or Consulate. To avoid problems, please apply for visa not later than 2 MONTHS PRIOR to the start of your visit.

To facilitate your getting preferably "scientific", but in the worst case "tourist" visa, we will send you a letter of support (official invitation) after receiving required data from you (see the Visa Support Form below). If you need such letter, please also FAX to +7 (812) 428 7129 (for Vladimir Il'in) a copy of two adjacent pages of your passport which contain your photo, passport number and date of expiry. Do likewise with the passports of all accompanying persons. Note that the preparation of such a letter for "scientific" visa by the Russian bureaucracy may take up to 6 weeks (for "tourist" visa a few days).

The Visa Support Form is available as a file in different formats:
        DOS         RTF         PostScript         PDF

The form should be returned as soon as possible.

Please, send it by e-mail, usual mail, or fax, to
