planning to study

Hello everyone! I’m planning to study in Russia for a year. I heard about the new e-Visa, but is it valid for students too?

Hi! Great that you’re planning to study in Russia. The Uni e-Visa introduced in April 2025 https://visabot.co/visa/russian-visa is only for short-term visits like tourism, business meetings, or brief cultural trips. Since you're staying for an extended period, you’ll need a traditional student visa. This type of visa has its own application process, requiring a letter of invitation from the university and additional documentation. Be sure to consult the full list of Russian visa categories to understand the specific requirements for student visas.
