Required document for Russia Student visa for Nigeria citizens

Citizens of Nigeria must obtain their visa from the Russian embassy in Nigeria before traveling to Russia. However, before applying for the visa, they are required to have secured admission into a government approved University and received an official invitation to study in Russia. Univacity team of visa application experts advice applicants to play safe by applying early to give enough time between application and departure (at least 45 days prior to planned travel to Russia). If this can not be achieved due to unforeseen circumstances, applicants can choose to apply through the expedited service; this attracts higher fees.

Frequently asked questions

Will I be allowed to work as an international student in Russia?

If you are an international student in Russia, you have limited requirements to work during school session. Working as an international student requires the use of a work permit from the federal migration service that will only allow students to work in the field of studies and within the host university environment. However, these limitations and requirements are removed during the holidays or if the student works within their institute of study.

Can I get application assistance from the Univacity team of Visa experts?

Yes, we can help you. We have years of experience that have increased our visa application success rate by 80 % in the last 83 months.

Is my Student work permit still valid if I abandon my university course but still wish to continue working in Russia?

Russia issues the student work permit to full time students at a recognized higher institution. Permit will be cancelled if you leave your university course.
