All foreign participants of the Workshop
have to obtain a visa to enter the Russian Federation. Participants are
responsible for completing all legal formalities regarding their visa prior to
entering the Russian Federation. Each person will have to apply for visa
himself/herself in his/her home country.
1. VISA
REQUIREMENTS: GENERAL INFORMATION
Please, contact the
nearest Russian Embassy in your country to check the list of necessary
documents for applying for Russian visa.
A tourist visa is recommended for all participants who need a visa (it is
faster and cheaper).
Workshop Service Agency will provide all participants with a visa invitation
(voucher) and confirmation of the hotel reservation. These documents are
required for the formal visa application at a Russian Consulate or Embassy.
Please, contact the Russian consulate in your country to confirm whether a fax
copy of the invitation (electronic pdf document) is acceptable for the
application or whether original documents are required. If the originals are
required, Workshop Service Agency will send you the visa support documents by
courier (there is a fee for this service).
In most countries, online application forms are mandatory to request a visa.
However, procedures and fees may vary across different countries. Please, read
the instructions carefully before submitting an application. In most countries
two passport photos, proof of purchase of a personal travel/health insurance
and the details of return air ticket may be required at the time of application.
Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the proposed date.
2. REQUESTING A
TOURIST VISA INVITATION
Use the online
registration (Visa Support section) to submit a request for a tourist visa
invitation. This request should be filled in at the time of the reservation for
your hotel accommodation. Visa support documents will be issued based on the
personal information submitted by each participant and accompanying person
during the registration. Please, check if the information is correct to avoid
errors. Please, note that Monomax will issue the tourist visa invitation
ONLY after the payment of hotel accommodation and of the visa invitation.
Important note: Make sure all information shown in the invitation
is correct immediately upon receipt. Contact a Workshop Service Agency
representative if you find any mistake. Participants who decide to make their
own travel arrangements (e.g., those who have made their own hotel reservation)
still require a tourist visa invitation. Please, send the copy of hotel
confirmation by email (nano2012@onlinereg.ru ) to be provided with visa support. Participants who plan to
stay at friends, should be provided with private invitation by their friends
(according to the Russian laws).
