Choose your situation
Once registration has closed, confirmed candidates and people who missed the window need different next steps.
I already applied
Check that your application completed every stage required by your city organizer.
- Find the acceptance, payment and registration-number emails; a submitted form did not always mean a confirmed place.
- Check the city, level and identity details. Moscow and Rostov do not allow a center change after registration.
- Before travelling, recheck the address, entry time and accepted identity document in your organizer's latest message.
I missed registration
There is no open session-108 application route at the three confirmed Russian centers.
- Do not use an old form or pay after the deadline: the organizers say late applications and payments are not accepted.
- Monitor the Embassy, SPbU and the Rostov center separately because their schedules and procedures are independent.
- Do not treat the global session 109 as available in Russia until a Russian organizer publishes a city and application process.

A different city is an option only while that center's own application route is open and its organizer confirms your place.
- Compare the live status, deadline and method for each center first; all three session-108 windows are now closed.
- Do not move an application, payment or document package between cities: the rules and organizers differ.
- Obtain explicit place and payment confirmation before buying non-refundable travel or accommodation.
- A city that hosted TOPIK before is not necessarily included in the next session.
