Visa support
Foreign citizens need a visa to enter the Russia.
The Congress Service Agency Monomax provides participants with TOURIST visa support papers (invitation and hotel voucher) only for the dates of the Meeting +/- a few days, but not more than 14 days in total.
To get the visa support documents you need:
1. To register on-line.
2. To book hotel accommodation through the system of online registration and to pay for it OR to book it on your own and to send us the hotel booking confirmation.
3. To go to the "Visa support" page and fill in the data required.
You are to choose whether you need a fax/scanned copy or the original. It depends on the country where you apply for visa. Please check the Comments field at the "Visa support" section.
In case the original visa support documents are requested:
- you should pay for the invitation voucher delivery (express mail expenses) through the online registration as well;
- please send us the postal address where you'd like the documents to be delivered and your mobile phone number.
PLEASE NOTE:
- in order to obtain Russian visa your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after the date of your departure from Russia;
- according to the Russian migration law concerning registration procedure of foreign citizens on the territory of Russia hotels take all responsibilities for fulfilling this statement; that's why hotels take registration fee (nearly 5-10 EUR per person) that is to be paid by the guest directly to the hotel cash desk upon arrival;
- the deadline for Tourist visa support documents booking is September 15, 2014;
