| As of May 1, 1996, a Russian visa will be issued only on presentation of
a special form (Confirmation of the Invitation) from the Russian Foreign
Ministry (MID).═
The form should be received by your Russian partner organisation in
Moscow.═
To apply for it your Russian partners should present to MID an application
with your personal data, a copy of the first page of your passport and
pay a fee of $40 to $300 , depending on the duration of your stay. It takes
3 weeks (21 business days) for MID to issue the invitation confirmation.═
Then your partners should send you the invitation confirmation paper
by fax, which should be presented to a Russian Consulate to get the visa.═
In some countries only the original of the invitation confirmation paper
is accepted. Sometimes MID does not issue a paper but informs the appropriate
consulate by telex.═
To apply for MID support, you need to fill out Application
Form. |
