Students from abroad will have the opportunity to come to Russia for studies only after the restrictions on entry into the country are lifted, TASS reports. The Ministry of Education and Science noted that in September the restrictions were lifted for residents of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and South Korea.
Russia resumed flights with South Korea on September 27. Earlier, international flights were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. A week before that, air traffic with Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan was mutually restored.
International flights began on August 1. The planes went abroad from Moscow, the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don. The first countries with which air traffic is being restored are Great Britain, Turkey, Tanzania and Switzerland.
Moscow has repeatedly emphasized that the date for opening the borders will depend on the epidemiological situation.
Over 100,000 foreign students of Russian universities cannot yet come to Russia to start or continue their studies due to the epidemiological situation in the countries of residence. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov promised that students would have the opportunity to enter Russia according to the developed scheme. He said that a special algorithm was prepared for that. It involves local authorities, federal authorities and the management of universities. About 25,000 foreigners will come to Russia with its help.
