SPA Interview

There is a slight possibility that the SPA interview for final year students this year might be happening in Russia. In the unlikely chance of this happening, the MSA recommends the final year students this year, who would like to be prepared, to have the following documents:

1) Original higher education documents ( SPM/STPM...)
2) Birth certification and two (2) certified copies
3) IC and two (2) certified copies
4) Two (2) certified copies of parents' IC, birth certificates and passports.
5) Passport-sized photo
6) Co-curriculum certificates.

The certification can be done by any government officers grade 41 & above, such as your secondary school principals, doctors, commissioners of oath [Suruhanjaya Angkat Sumpah] etc.

If one does not go through the interview in Russia, in the unlikely event of it being in Russia this year, one can still do the interview here in Malaysia.

Please be informed.

Documents Needed for Registration

During the registration, you must submit these documents:

1. Obkhodnoi List
2. Passport*
3.  Visa
4.  Immigration card
5. Receipt for registration
6. Receipt for visa
7. Non-glossy black and white visa-sized pictures**
8. 1 photocopy of the passport-holder information of your passport i.e. the first page inside your passport where your picture is*
9. 1 front and back photocopy of your visa
10. 1 front and back photocopy of your immigration card

 * If you renew your passport, you must submit the old passport as well, along with the necessary photocopies.
** There has been cases where pictures from Malaysia were not accepted because of various reasons. To be safe, it is advised for students to take their pictures here in Russia.

Regarding the renewal of passport: If you renew your passport, you have to go to the Russian Embassy in Malaysia and submit your passport and visa for them to verify and update your visa. The process usually take up to three working days, though it could take longer.

Please be informed.

Issues Concerning the Obkhodnoi List and Visa

Books taken from the library on Kozolovskaya street can be returned throughout the holidays from 11am to 3pm except on weekends.

Books taken from the main library have to be returned by the 16th of July 2010, on which date it will be closed for the semester.

Therefore, it is advisable to return all books and obtain the librarian signature for the obkhodnoi list before the 16th of July 2010.

The payment for the registration and visa can be done in advance, though the receipt must be kept for processing when students return from their holidays and submit their visa for processing.

The payment for the registration and visa requires different receipts. In other words, you will need one receipt for visa and another for registration for the registration and visa processing. The registration fee for one year [2 semesters] is 600.00 roubles. If you want to pay for one semester, please refer to the Passport-Visa department on the Russian Language department for the amount that you have to pay. The amount you have to pay for visa is 1000 roubles.

For your information the price for these two was set by the Government of the Russian Federation, not the University, and it is the same throughout the country.

Here's how you should fill the payment slip

Take note!

1. Under сумма write 600 or 1000 depending on whether you're paying for visa or registration. You need to have TWO [2] different receipts, one for visa, one for registration.
2. Under абонент fill in your full name and country of origin in Russian.
3. Under адрес fill in  the address of the place where you will be staying. If you're not sure where you'll be staying, it is better not to pay first because you'll need to pay 200 roubles to change the address during the registration itself.
4. Payment can be made at any Свербанк России branch in Volgograd.
5. In some of the Свербанк России branches, one only needs to tell the cashier the details, instead of filling out slips.

This slip sample will also be provided upon request from your batch representatives or from the Passport-Visa department on the Russian Language department.

Students must leave Volgograd three [3] days after obtaining their visas from the visa department.


Please be informed.
