What is the invitation letter for studying in Russia?

When applying for Russia, the school will send invitations to students. So what is the purpose of this invitation? Come and have a look.

1. What is the invitation?

If students have just started to contact Russian universities and study abroad, it is estimated that everyone doesn't know much about it, but the word "offer" should be clear to everyone, so the "offer" we often say is equivalent to the "invitation letter" of these universities, which can also be understood as a notice in popular terms.

Second, the use of the invitation letter

In Russia, the invitations given by these schools are official materials prepared for international students through the Russian visa office. Its main function is to prove which university these students have been admitted to. The invitation letter will indicate the school where the students are admitted and remind the students what they need when they apply for passports. This invitation is for students to submit this document to the embassy when applying for a visa. It takes about one month for the invitation to be issued from preparation to issuance. The invitation letter is valid for 90 days from the date it is sent to the students, and the students need to apply for visas at the consulate during this time.

Third, the time of receiving the invitation letter.

Generally, Russian universities enroll students in two seasons, namely spring and autumn. These schools start and stop enrolling students at different times. Generally, it takes about 45 days to prepare these invitations, but in fact, very few invitations can be sent within 45 days. After all, Russia is really slow in doing things. In most cases, it takes almost two months for students to get this invitation after entering Russia. Don't worry if you haven't received the invitation. If your materials fully meet the requirements, then this invitation letter will reach you sooner or later.

Fourth, how to send an invitation letter?

In the past, invitations were still paper, but now the invitations of these universities in Russia have been changed to electronic versions, which is more convenient, and there is no need to worry about losing them when sending them. It is very convenient for students to go through all the formalities by saving the electronic invitation letter from the school.

The electronic invitation is actually an electronic document. It has no original, so print it out when you want to use it. Then, you should know that it is not up to the students to decide what form of invitation letter the school sends to the students. These are all decided by the school and the immigration bureau after agreements and various processes. What students have to do is to wait for the invitation letter and apply for a visa in accordance with the relevant regulations. In addition, when you arrive in Russia, you should remember to handle your visa on arrival and visa extension in accordance with Russian laws and regulations. Don't wait until the expiration of your residence, and then you have to go through all the formalities again when you return home, which will affect your studies.
