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
Send a scan of your national passport's first page and, if you have or had one, the page with your latest Russian visa. Your passport must be valid for at least 20 months on arrival 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
Send a scan of your secondary-education document with the list of subjects and grades.
Qualification recognition
Required when applying
Citizens of Iran, Jordan, Malaysia, Lebanon and Morocco also send a certificate recognising their foreign education. 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.
Identity translation
Required when applying
Send scans of notarised Russian translations of your passport and your education documents. Citizens of Turkmenistan also send an internal passport scan with a notarised translation.
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.
Visa

The electronic visa invitation is emailed after enrolment and takes at least 30 calendar days to issue.

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.
