Visa
Visa information and visa invitations
• We will start working on your visa invitation right after we receive registration form and abstract from you.
• Usually it takes 1-2 weeks to produce visa invitations. All invitations are generated by the chief international office at VSSPU and not by the Institute of Foreign Languages itself, thus sometimes the process can be longer than 1-2 weeks (although it doesn’t happen often).
• While invitations for EU citizens (those bearing EU passports) are normally produced within a 1-2 week time, invitations for non-EU participants can take up to a month, since they are produced by the Federal Migration Service of Russia and not VSSPU.
• If you need visa invitation, please send in the following information together with registration form and abstract: scanned copy of your passport (main page, scans of previous visas are not needed), your office address, name of the city where you will apply for Russian visa, dates of your trip to Volgograd.
• Please send all required information (registration form, abstract, information for visa invitation) in one email at communicative_tech_conf2018@mail.ru.
• An important thing you should remember is that the invitation you will receive from us is not a visa. You will need to apply for Russian visa in a Russian consulate or visa center to have visa stamped in your passport.
• If you do not need visa invitation (i.e. you bear passport issued by a visa-free country or have Russian visa, which will be valid during your trip to Volgograd in November 2018) but still need a formal letter from the Institute of Foreign Languages stating that your abstract is accepted for the conference, please let us know at communicative_tech_conf2018@mail.ru. We will generate a formal letter, which you can show at your university, for example. Please mind that this letter is not a visa invitation.
