Visa Information

Citizens of most foreign countries need visa to come to Russia. According to the Russian rules, to obtain visa one needs to submit an application to the Russian consulate along with an official invitation letter (VISA SUPPORT LETTER) issued by Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs by request of an inviting organization. The Physcon 2005 Organizers can provide you with VISA SUPPORT LETTER issued by request of Russian Academy of Sciences. To make a request for the invitation, we must submit to Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs the filled form with your personal data and the copy of the page(s) of your passport with your name, photo, date of birth, passport number and passport expiration date.

IMPORTANT:

1. The procedure of issuing the VISA SUPPORT LETTER takes about 1 month.

2. The procedures of Russian Consulates may vary from country to country. Please check with the Russian Consulate in your country if they allow to send VISA SUPPORT LETTER by FAX. Otherwise we will send the original letter by mail upon you request.
