The application form has to be filled in online. Before doing so, you will need to have to hand: your passport details; the details of any universities or other higher education establishments you have ever attended; the name and details of the Russian organisation which has invited you; (you may want to contact us first if you are not sure where to look on the paperwork, or if it is all in Russian); the name of your travel insurance provider, a list of all countries you have visited in the last 10 years (the best way to address this is to go through all the stamps/visas in your passport).
