VisaA foreigner traveler to Russia must have a valid passport
and an appropriate visa. To get the visa, a visitor has to submit to the Russian Embassy
or Consulate an official letter of invitation authorized by the Russian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. Each foreign participant (and accompanying person) will timely
get such a letter if he (she) fills-in the relevant fields of the Visa
Form and sends this form together with a copy of the first pages of a passport
(where all personal data are available) to the Organizing Committee by April 1,
2005, at the latest. The copy of the passport pages should be sent preferably
by e-mail as attached graphic file or by fax. The Organizing Committee cannot send
the official invitation earlier than 40 days after receiving all papers mentioned
above. Participants are strongly advised to follow these recommendations and to
apply for the visa at once after receiving the original copy of the invitation to
ensure that the visa is issued timely. Please, check with your local Russian Consulate/Embassy
about required documents to obtain the visa and visa processing time and visa fee
