It’s not a secret that 2021 is still a special year, so preparing for a trip to Russia requires more steps than we all got used to. But no worries! EDUCA School is here to guide you through the process and make your language trip to beautiful St. Petersburg come true.
Check if Russia has reopened borders with your country
First of all, it’s essential to find out if citizens of your country can already come to Russia and apply for a Russian visa. If you are going to study with EDUCA, please contact us and our managers will help you. Also, we are posting all the news on our Twitter, and you can find the relevant information on the official website of the Russian Consulate of you area.
Please note, at the moment you cannot come to Russia via a third-party country. In other words, German citizens, for example, can come only directly from Germany.
Choose your course
Educa School offers group and one-to-one Russian courses, as well as individually tailored programs. All the options are suitable for both complete beginners and for continuing students. Group courses are arranged in comfortable mini-groups, with a maximum of 4-5 students only. Individual programs allow you to choose a schedule and study pace that suit you best. Check our Courses section to find more about our options!
Check visa requirements
The next step is to check the visa requirements. Most foreigners need a visa to come to Russia and the requirements may vary for different countries, so we recommend contacting Russian Consulate or Russian visa center or your area. One of the documents that is always required for a visa is an invitation letter and Educa can provide you with one for a student visa!
COVID-19 rules
By July 2021, you need to have a negative PCR test that is not older than 72 hours to enter Russia. Self-quarantine is not required. Don’t forget to check the requirements of your country on return. If you need to make a PCR test in St. Petersburg, our managers will always advise you a laboratory where to do it. The restrictive measures in the city are quite mild, museums, restaurants, and most of the other facilities are open for visitors.
What if the borders with your country are still closed?
No worries! The travel situation is changing for the better and most likely you also will be able to visit Russia soon. In the meantime, you can also start learning Russian online to prepare for your future trip to Russia.
