International Students

International students from all countries are allowed to enter Russia regardless of the epidemiological situation in their home countries.

At least 14 days prior to your entry into the Russian Federation email the following information to your programme coordinator:

- estimated date of entry into the Russian Federation (according to the ticket);
- border crossing point of the Russian Federation (name of the airport of arrival or land border crossing point).

There are two options for getting to the dormitory (Komsomolsky prospect, 6):  by Aeroexpress train or by taxi.

Aeroexpress provides rail passenger transportation services, covering routes between Moscow and airports of the Moscow Air Cluster (Vnukovo, Domodedovo, and Sheremetyevo).

There are different types of metro tickets, but we suggest that you purchase a “Troika” card (Тройка). The Troika card is a reusable card designed as a means of payment in public transport in Moscow – metro, trolleybus, bus and tram. You can buy a Troika card at any Metro ticket office and automated Mosgortrans ticket kiosks for 50 rubles (< 1$/<1€) (you can get that sum back if you return your card at any Metro ticket office). You can transfer money to your Troika card at Metro ticket desk, Metro vending machines, via web site, mobile application, by SMS or using payment terminals and ATMs.
