Please note that the purpose of entry in the migration card should be-STUDY.

No earlier than 3 calendar days before arrival in Russia, it is necessary to make a test for COVID-19 by PCR and, if the result is negative, get a corresponding document in Russian or English in your country.

Within 72 hours after entering the territory of Russia, foreign students must pass a repeated PCR test. Before receiving the test results, it is necessary to observe the self-isolation regime at the place of residence.

During the isolation period, the training takes place in an online format. Without a repeat test, foreign students are not allowed to study full-time. We ask you not to forget about timely registration for migration registration immediately after you are granted access to the buildings of SPbSUT! All foreign citizens arriving for study must have a valid medical insurance policy.

If during the period of self-isolation, foreign students who have arrived in Russia have the first symptoms of an acute respiratory disease (fever, sore throat, runny nose, cough), the student should immediately report this to the university and call a doctor.
