An invitation for foreign arrivals is not an invitation to the Forum, but a separate document from the Forum organizers.

1. All confirmed participants will receive an official invitation to the Legal Forum 2023 by email.
2. After receiving the invitation, log in to your Roscongress personal account using your personal login and password.
3. Confirm your attendance at the Forum.
4. Go to the ‘My events – Legal Forum 2023 – Event dashboard – Visa support’ tab of the Roscongress personal account.
5. Your personal information will be automatically uploaded from the Roscongress personal account to the document. You can manually add the city and country where you will be applying for your visa.
6. Download and print the invitation for foreign arrivals.
7. Provide your Russian consular office with the invitation for foreign arrivals and the other required visa documents.

If you have found any errors in your personal data in the application for participation, you can contact a Roscongress Foundation specialist to make changes to the personal data.

Please make sure to bring the following documents with you when attending your consular office:

• a printed invitation for foreign arrivals. The document must be generated in the Roscongress personal account;
• a valid travel document recognized by the Russian Federation (an ordinary, official or diplomatic passport or a United Nations laissez-passer). The passport must have at least two blank pages and be valid for at least six months after the requested visa expiration date;
• a completed and printed visa application form. The form must be filled out in advance on the visa website of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation at visa.kdmid.ru. When completing the form, members of official delegations, business representatives and persons accompanying them should select ‘official visit’ as the purpose of their trip, while journalists should select ‘press/correspondent’ or ‘press/technical’;
• one 35 x 45 mm photo (colour or black and white) with a clear front view of the participant’s face, without tinted glasses or headgear (with the exception of foreign citizens who are required to wear headgear with respect to their nationality or religion, and provided that they are wearing headgear in their passport photo). The photograph must have been taken no earlier than six months before the date of application;
• a medical insurance policy that is valid in Russia.
