Citizens of nearly all countries throughout the world require an entry visa for Russia. In order for you to obtain a visa, we need to issue you with an invitation letter, and to do this we need from you:

1. Your travel plans, including the dates you intend to stay in St. Petersburg. To ensure a safe margin, please add a couple of days before and after your actual visit to Russia in the dates you supply.
2. A scanned copy of the main pages of your passport (containing the general information). Please email the scanned copy rather than use FAX, because a good quality copy is needed. Your passport must be valid for longer than 6 months after the end of your stay in Russia, i.e. if you intend to stay until 12 July 2009, then your passport must be valid up to 12 January 2010.
3. If you are accompanied by your spouse or relatives, then please also send a scanned copy of their passport information.

Please email your passport information by 31 March 2009 to: iutam.2009@gmail.com
