Medical preparation
Documents and tests
For some citizenships and routes: recent HIV, hepatitis B/C, syphilis and other laboratory results. The exact list is confirmed before booking.
Do I need a valid passport, and where do I send the copy?
Yes. Without a valid international passport, you cannot travel to Russia to sign the contract. If you do not have one or it is expired, please obtain a valid passport first and apply afterward. The preliminary form does not upload documents; after submission, use the private WhatsApp button.
Which medical tests are needed?
Requirements differ by citizenship and route. Some candidates need recent results for HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, general blood and urine tests or other tests. The coordinator confirms the exact list and validity period before travel. Final fitness is decided only by the official medical commission.
Can the agent issue a visa or invitation?
No guarantee can be given. Entry documents and immigration decisions belong to the relevant state authorities.
