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
Foreign applicants submit the original or a copy of their identity and citizenship document, or of the document that proves a foreign citizen's identity in Russia.
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
The education document is submitted no later than the day the acceptance of documents without entrance tests ends.
Qualification recognition
Required when applying
A foreign education document is submitted with a certificate of recognition of foreign education, except where Russian law or an international treaty does not require recognition. The recognition certificate is submitted no later than the deadline for consent to enrolment on state-funded places, or no later than the last day for signing contracts on paid places. Documents issued abroad must be legalised unless an international treaty of Russia or Russian law provides otherwise.

Education translation
Required when applying
Documents in a foreign language are submitted with a Russian translation certified by a notary, including by 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.
