Coming to UrFU

We remind you that a foreign student must inform the Ural Federal University about his arrival by filling out a special arrival form at least 10 days before arrival. According to the instructions of Rospotrebnazdor and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, a foreign student must provide a negative PCR-test result for SARS-CoV-2. A proof of a negative COVID-19 test must be issued no later than 48 hours before arrival in Russia. The results must be provided in Russian and English.

Within 48 hours upon arrival in Russia, a foreign student is required to get tested for COVID-19 (PCR-test) again. Only in the case of a negative result, a student is allowed to start full-time studies. Until the second negative test result is obtained, a student must self-isolate.
