To study at MGSU you will need to apply for a student visa at the Russian Embassy in your country of residence.

Please contact the Russian Embassy in your country to find out what kind of documents you need.

MGSU applies to the Federal Migration Service for an official invitation letter (issuance usually takes 1-1,5 months).
