RUSSIAN VISA SUPPORT INFORMATION
The ICLO 2026 Organising Committee provides Visa support to conference participants and their accompanying persons (an accompanying person, for example a spouse, child, relative, friend, etc., is not a conference participant).
Currently, two types of visas are available for foreign visitors entering the Russian Federation:
- e-Visa (an invitation letter is not required);
- Regular Visa (the Visa Invitation Letter from the ICLO 2026 Organising Committee is required).
IMPORTANT:
Please check your foreign passport’s expiry date. Foreign visitors entering the Russian Federation must be in possession of a valid foreign passport. The current passport should be valid for a minimum of 6 (six) months after the visa’s expiration date and have at least 2 (two) blank pages (which do not need to be consecutive).
e-Visa
E-Visa applicants are not required to submit an invitation letter, hotel booking confirmation or any other document confirming the purpose of their travel to the Russian Federation.
The list of 64 foreign States whose nationals can apply for ane-Visa is here: https://electronic-visa.kdmid.ru/country_en.html
Regular Visa
If the e-Visa conditions do not apply to you, then you will need a Regular Visa in order to enter the Russian Federation.
In order to apply for the Regular Visa, participants must take the Visa Invitation Letter, along with all required travel documents, to their local Russian Embassy/Consulate.
Сonference visa support will be provided on a case-by-case basis.
