Acceptable payment forms include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, and MIR payment system cards issued by Russian banks and UnionPay payment system cards issued by foreign banks. Payments are made in Russian roubles.

Before proceeding to payment, please make sure that:

  • there are sufficient funds on the bank card

The contact information can be found in the Roscongress personal account or by contacting the Forum information centre by phone at +7 (812) 680 0000.

The payment date will be considered to be the day on which the amount due is credited to the account of the Roscongress Foundation. Participants may check whether the sum has been received in the Roscongress personal account or by calling their Roscongress Foundation specialist.

Bank cards

We recommend bringing enough cash with you for the entire duration of SPIEF due to restrictions on the use of foreign bank cards in Russia.

The use of MIR and UnionPay cards in Russia is not restricted in any currency. We recommend that SPIEF participants get a new card/bring an existing card that uses one of these systems, if possible.

Please note that UnionPay has started its operations in Russia relatively recently. Therefore, cards using this payment system may occasionally malfunction.

Please note that payment of the participation fee on time and in full is a prerequisite to receiving a participation badge and gaining access to the SPIEF 2023 venue.
