Russian visa for the express visa is over 70k and mind you basic is around 35-40k, you have to go to the embassy with new currency (cash) unlike before when you have to pay in the bank and your results legalization is 17,400 per document (per pages)

If u are going for master in russia
It is your bsc certificate and transcript (not student copy) and mind you the most tedious part of the embassy is when the black guy looks at your documents the percentage he would point out a mistake is high, so for bsc you are first authenticating your result in MOE & MOFA if u have any affidavit authenticate it at MOFA
If you are going for bachelors, NECO or WAEC is accepted
When you submit at the embassy then is when the russian authentication/legalization is done
It around 19400 per documents.

I am actually going for PhD.
So maybe I only need my masters certificate and transcript.
Pls clear me on this one; the transcript, am I taking it by hand there or the University will send it there cos I'm not sure the University will give me the official copy by hand.
And how much does it cost to authenticate documents at the MOE & MOFA?

Thank you sir.

[quote author=Austeen007 post=93099677]Russia!


Every one of us would not deny that we haven’t read or heard one or 2 weird stories about Russia.

If not. At least, you must have heard the following that;

Russians are racists; they do not like black People.

Russian spits on black people on the streets
Russians kills black people or Africans in the streets of Moscow.

Russia is not a place for a black man to travel to; Especially Nigerians.

I get often asked 2 particular questions from most Nigerians about Russia;

“How is the racism there, I heard they’re racist?
The Good News is that I have been living in Russia for almost 3 years now and no one cares about my skin color.

Russians are very helpful people when you ask for help.

“Russia is too cold.” But little did they know that Canada is colder than Russia.

Though, before I moved to Russia I also had read and heard so many weird things about Russia and the advice was “if you’re African, dark skinned don’t go to Russia."

I almost forfeited my visa lol!

But, I took the hard decision, disregarding all I have read and took a shot at it.

When I got to Russia’s Domododevo airport in Moscow I was expecting to be sent back to Africa, Nigeria for being black.

Clearly, nobody cared about my very dark skin tone.

For those who looked only did in admiration and ask to take a photo with me.

My 3 years in Russia has been awesome, far from what I expected.

Recently, I went spending time in the Russian Dacha (Country House) in Nigeria we call village house.

My 90 day experience in the Russian dacha was awesome too.

People where friendly and often asked to take a photo with me.

Remember, you must learn how to understand Russian to be able to start a conversation. Or you can either make use of a Yandex or Google Translator.

Observations:
Many of the things we have read or heard about Russia, isn’t true.

I’d not be able to write all of my experience in Russia so far

If you have any question about Russia ask me I’ll answer them in a knowledgeable truth around my experiences so far.

[url=https://africaninrussia.com/africans-in-russia-my-experience-so-far/]Nigerian in Russia- My experience so
Dacha is not a village house rather it is a summer house. Well you thought such stuffs about Russians before entry it because you didn't know much about Russians and talk with them online.

from my findings, it is advisable to go with enough funds while you learn the language and also stay in their main Cities (Moscow and St Petersburg).
Check studyinrussia.ru for schools.

Depends on what you mean by good pay . Be ready to do menial jobs like dish washing in restaurants , cleaning in gyms , maybe construction too cos of course you can’t speak Russian language. The average pay is about 140₽/hr , some works might be lower and some might be little bit higher .
