Visas
We provide our teachers with a work visa and our
students with a student visa. A prospective teacher will need to let us
know the most suitable date of receiving the visa invitation as well as
the Russian Embassy or Consulate nearest to the prospective teacher.
Addresses and telephones of the Russian Embassies and Consulates can be
found on
www.visahouse.com.
Please keep in mind that getting an invitation usually takes about 10
days. All the expenses on the invitation arrangement are paid by Volga
Centre. Note: We order teachers invitations to the Russian Federation only if you have firmly decided to work for Volga Centre. In case a teacher's invitation has been ordered and already sent out and a teacher has refused to work for Volga Centre he/she will have to reimburse the expenses. The invitation will be sent to the teacher you via regular mail thus we need to know your current postal address. Both application process and getting a visa take about one month altogether, though it can fluctuate depending on Embassies/Consulates. The costs also differ: one day visa process is the most expensive and a longer period of time will be cheaper. Visa fees differ in different countries. This fee is paid by the teacher and there is no reimbursement for it. When applying for visa one may be asked if provided with any medical insurance. We provide the medical insurance for the teacher upon arrival at school. Embassies/Consulates in some countries may also ask an applicant to pass the AIDS test. Visas registered by Volga
Centre are 3-month single-entry visas. We cannot provide multiple-entry
visas, as foreign citizens coming as teachers are allowed only to obtain
single-entry visas according to the Russian law. During these three
months Volga Centre prolongs your registration in Samara/Togliatti on
the regular basis. It will not be any problem for a teacher if he/she
decides to leave the Russian Federation for some time and then come
back. In this case Volga Centre arranges another single “entry-exit”
visa to leave the Russian Federation and then return. Tickets The easiest way to get to Samara is to travel to Moscow first and then to the city where you will work (Samara/Togliatti). Most probably you will arrive at Sheremetjevo-2 airport. You can travel from Moscow by train, which departs from Kazansky Station. Trains: Moscow-Samara, Moscow-Togliatti. The trip costs about $20-60. You may also choose to travel by plane from Sheremetjevo-1 airport. Air tickets cost about $60-100.Your destination is “Samara” airport. |
