Changes to Student Visa requirements

[Donna Seifer]

The Consulate General of Russia in San Francisco has the Apostille
requirement for "long-term" student visas (over 90 days.)  "Short-term
student projects' participants should refer to the business visa
regulations."  See: http://www.consulrussia.org/eng/visatype.html

The SF site also has a .pdf for the new visa application and a .pdf with
instructions on how to fill out the visa form on the computer.

This is the " Official site Consulate General of Russia in San
Francisco.2007©"
