Important information about Russian visa
To arrive to Russia and to participate in Summer School citizens of
all foreign countries need a (tourist) visa. RSHU won't be able to
provide an invitation because of the upcoming G8 Summint in
St. Petersburg. The tourist visa can be obtained via a local travel
bureau / Russian consulate in your home country. Normally for
obtaining a visa you need a valid passport, a couple of photos,
document about valid travel insurance and a filled form. E.g. in
Finland preparation of a tourist visa to Russia takes about one week.
Upon arrival, registration of the visa will be taken care by the
Sanatorium (without extra costs).
