Before you apply
Check which documents to prepare before applying.
Passport
General preparation guidance
Prepare your international passport and a clear copy of the page with your photo and personal details.
If you need a Russian study visa, use this passport for your invitation and visa application at a Russian embassy or consulate.
Your passport must be valid for at least 18 months from the start date of your study visa.
Required when applying
Submit a copy of the document that proves your identity and citizenship.
Education documents
General preparation guidance
Prepare your school certificate or diploma in its original language, with the supplement or transcript showing your subjects and grades.
Depending on the country that issued it, you may need an apostille or consular legalisation. Some documents are exempt.
Your qualification may also need recognition in Russia. Ask the university which steps apply to your document.
Required when applying
Send the spreads of the supplement to your education document, covering all sides. For paid places the original education document is not mandatory.
Qualification recognition
Required when applying
A certificate recognising your foreign education is due by the last day of contract signing for paid places. Documents issued abroad must be legalised unless a Russian treaty or law says otherwise.
Russian translations
General preparation guidance
Prepare Russian translations of your passport and education documents.
Have the translations certified by a Russian notary or a Russian consulate in the country of issue.
Education translation
Required when applying
Documents in a foreign language need a Russian translation certified by a notary (including a consular officer).
Russian language certificate
General preparation guidance
TORFL (TRKI) is an official certificate showing your level of Russian.
To get it, pass a Russian language test at an authorised testing centre. The test covers reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and grammar.
A language course can help you prepare. A course completion document is not the same as a TORFL certificate.
Check the level and accepted proof with the university. Some universities accept their own Russian entrance test instead of a certificate.
Already in Russia?General preparation guidance
Prepare copies of your migration card and current registration (proof of where you stay), if these documents were issued to you.
Also prepare your valid visa or residence permit, if you have one.
Before enrolment or changing universities, contact the university’s international office. Tell them why you are in Russia and when your documents expire.
Ask whether your current documents allow you to study and what needs to be updated.
