IMPORTANT VISA INFORMATION

You will need a visa for Russia unless you are a citizen of: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Ukraine or Uzbekistan.

Remember to give yourself enough time to obtain your Russian visa; depending upon your nationality this can take up to 8 weeks.

Please note: ITE is not responsible for providing any documentation you may require in order to obtain your visa. Please contact our official travel agent directly.

GUIDELINES FOR VISA INFORMATION

RUSSIAN Business Visa

If you are attending the Exhibition as an exhibitor or expect to undertake business whilst there, we recommend that you travel on a Business visa. An invitation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is required. 

RUSSIAN Tourist Visa

If you are simply visiting the exhibition and not conducting business, you can travel on a tourist visa. Your ‘invitation’ will take the form of a ‘Tourist Voucher’ and a ‘Hotel Booking Confirmation’. 

Please note:  if you arrive at Russian immigration wearing a suit holding a laptop in one hand and a briefcase in the other you may have them confiscated until your exit from the country - these items are hardly usual tourist attire and will obviously raise suspicion about the true purpose of your visit. 

All visa supports are issued on the assumption that you will be entering Russia via a Moscow airport. If you are not, please alert your selected Travel agent to this fact before ordering your visa support - additional documentation will be needed if you arrive through Samara or Nizhniy Novgorod.

RUSSIAN VISA REGISTRATION

All foreigners must register their stay within three working days of arrival in Russia if staying 3 working days or more. If you are staying in a hotel the hotel will normally do this; if you’re not staying in a hotel you should ask your sponsor (the company providing the VSL) to register your presence in the country. You will need your passport and Migration Card (which is given on arrival at the Russian border). A fee will be charged for this registration process. Registration can take a minimum 2 working days for tourist visas and 5 working days for business visas. Failure to register the visa within 3 days of arrival can result in being fined up to USD1700.00 and/or deportation.

ACCOMODATION 

There is a very high demand for hotel rooms in Moscow, and in order to help exhibitors participating at the exhibition, CTMS, where possible, has blocked space at various suitably located hotels. You are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. 

AROUND MOSCOW

If you have free days in Moscow you can book with CTMS travel a variety of tours that will acquaint you with the city and its rich history. Most popular are:

• The Kremlin and its Cathedrals

• The Diamond Fund

• The Armoury Chamber

• Bolshoi Theatre

• Moscow Metro
