1. HOTEL INFORMATION. One can make hotel reservation directly with hotels or travel web-agencies (some links can be easily found on the web and will be provided on the conference website later). However, summer is a hot tourist season in Saint Petersburg and hotel prices in summer are rather high. We usually recommend to make reservation through our partner travel agency Monomax which provides rooms in a number of hotels conveniently located not far from the conference venue (Anichkov Palace) with 5%-10% discount for conference participants. Those who prefer booking the hotel before notification of the paper acceptance should contact organizers at psyco07@physcon.ru
2. VISA INFORMATION. Citizens of most countries need visa to come to Russia. In order to obtain entry visa one needs to submit an application to the Russian consulate along with an official invitation letter (VISA SUPPORT LETTER). VISA SUPPORT LETTER FOR TOURIST VISA should be issued by the travel agency or the hotel. VISA SUPPORT LETTER FOR BUSINESS VISA should be issued by Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs by request of an inviting organization; in our case - Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS). Note that Monomax company provides VISA SUPPORT LETTER FOR TOURIST VISA very fast and with no extra costs along with hotel reservation. Just mention your personal data ( name, date and place of birth, passport number and passport expiration date) in your hotel reservation request.
The Organizers can provide you with VISA SUPPORT LETTER FOR BUSINESS VISA issued by request of RAS. 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 main page(s) of your passport with your name, photo, date and place of birth, passport number and passport expiration date. Issuing VISA SUPPORT LETTER costs some EUR 25-40, depending on the time of issuing (20-30 days).
3. Please, make sure that your travel insurance is valid in Russia.
