Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Visa and invitation
Most foreign business visitors need a Russian business visa or an MFA e-visa where eligible. The NEVA organiser or your exhibitor host can normally issue an invitation; carry printed and digital copies of the invitation, hotel booking and insurance. Confirm current rules on the official MFA e-visa portal before paying for travel.
Language at the fairground
Russian is the working language for most stands, technical documents and contracts. Many larger exhibitors have English-speaking staff, but book a Russian-English interpreter for detailed procurement, customs or service discussions. Bilingual business cards help.
Business etiquette
Meetings are usually punctual and formal, with handshakes and business dress. Technical decisions may involve several specialists from procurement, engineering and operations, so allow time for a second meeting rather than expecting a single-signature deal.
Money and payments
The local currency is the Russian ruble (RUB). Confirm with your bank and hotel whether international cards will work during your trip, and carry some cash for taxis, cafes and incidentals. Keep receipts for expense claims.
Weather and dress
Late September in Saint Petersburg is cool and changeable, typically around 12-17 C with rain showers and wind near the Neva. A water-resistant jacket, comfortable shoes and a compact umbrella are practical for the walk between ExpoForum halls and transport stops.
Venue district
ExpoForum sits on the southern Moscow highway corridor, not in the historic centre. Staying at the on-site Hilton shortens the morning commute; from Nevsky Prospekt hotels, allow extra time for metro plus surface transfer or a taxi during peak hours.
