Поступление через ruID
🇷🇺 Перевести страницу на русский язык
Starting from 2026, foreign nationals can apply to Russian universities entirely online — through the ruID app and the "University Admission Online" service on Gosuslugi.
No need to visit the admissions office in person. Submit your application, track its status, and manage your documents from anywhere in the world.
How It Works — Video Guide
What Is ruID?
ruID is a mobile app from the Russian Ministry of Digital Development for foreign nationals. Since June 30, 2025, new entry rules are in effect: before travelling to Russia, foreign nationals must submit an entry application via ruID or Gosuslugi. The app also provides services for foreigners, entry notifications, and generates a QR code after border crossing to be used alongside your identity document.
⚠ Important: If your Gosuslugi account is not verified, you will not be able to sign a paid contract online. In this case, please contact the university directly.
