Russian Scientific Events eVisa

Conference Paperwork, Handled Online. Slides finished, flights booked, and somewhere on the list sits a visa application most researchers would rather not think about. The Russian Scientific Events eVisa simplifies that step, covering academic conferences, symposia, and research gatherings without requiring a formal invitation letter from the host institution.

Documents needed:

Passport bio page, six months’ validity minimum, two blank pages reserved for stamps
A recent, full-face colour photo against a plain light background

Once approved, the permit allows:

Single entry, 120 days of validity, up to 30 days permitted on the ground, counted from the date of arrival.

Standard processing runs six to nine days, though rush and super rush tiers exist for anyone confirming travel plans close to a conference date. Students presenting alongside academic professionals qualify under the same terms, and movement across Russia stays open beyond the host city itself, aside from a handful of areas requiring special access permission.
