I will be staying most of the time in Moscow, but I would like to take the train to Helsinki one weekend, then return to Moscow. I am staying at Moscow State University. Is it possible in any way for me to go to Finland, then return to Russia on a single entry visa? Would I have to get a whole new visa to be able to reenter Russia? Thanks. Jessica

However, it's not hard to get it in Helsinki, just make sure you get a new visa support (invitation) before you leave Russia.

Would you recommend a tourist visa (since they seem quicker to get)? I would only be spending one additional week in Moscow before going home--do I just need some kind of paperwork showing that I am staying at the University? Thanks! Jessica
