Visa

A foreigner travelling to Russia must have a valid passport and an appropriate visa. To get the visa, a visitor has to submit to the Russian Embassy or Consulate an official letter of invitation authorized by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Each foreign participant (and accompanying person) will timely get such a letter if he (she) fills-in the relevant fields of the Visa Form and sends this form together with a copy of the first pages of a passport (where all personal data are available) to the Organizing Committee by March 15, 2003, at the latest. The copy of the passport pages should be sent preferably by e-mail as attached graphic file or by fax.

Participants are strongly advised to follow these recommendations and to apply for the visa at once after receiving the original copy of the invitation to ensure that the visa is issued timely.
