Visa Procedures
Getting visa in Russia nowadays is not a complicated process and you will receive all the support in order to have a legal stay in Russia .
Steps to get the visa are as following:
1. DiGe vu Samara will send you the attached form (please see the questionnary below) which should be carefully filled out.
2. DiGe vu Samara will fill out the special application form and submit it to the visa police departement where the organisation has official registration. Please, note that we should get the form 2 MONTHS before volunteer's departure.
3. The invitation letter will be issued and sent out via regular mail approximately in 2 weeks. We kindly ask sending organisations to take the administration expenses (250RU=about 9 EURO) from the volunteers and to send this money to us at the end of the season.
4. After getting an invitation letter an exchangee should apply for the visa in the Russian Consulate in his/her country. According to the invitation letter an exchangee will be able to obtain short-stay visa. The goal of the visit to Russia should be indicated as “youth exchange”.
