Obtaining a working visa is the stage, which every foreigner faces, working in our country.

When being employed in our country non-CIS foreign specialists have to obtain a working visa.

Carrying out a labor activity without a working visa, even with a valid work permit is the rudest violation of current law.

A visa also enables a foreign employee to be accompanied by his family members, as well as gives an opportunity to register vehicles for the whole validity of the visa.

Working visa to Russia: obtainment stages

  1. An employing company obtains permission to employ foreign nationals and submits documents for an individual permit. These documents allow obtaining a single working invitation with a period of validity for up to 90 days.
  2. A foreign employee applies to a Russian consulate in the country of his permanent residence to obtain a single visa.
  3. The foreign employee comes to the RF and the company transforms his single visa into a multiple one for the period of validity of the work permit.
  4. For highly qualified specialists there is a simplified procedure to process a multiple visa. In accordance with it they obtain a multiple visa in the consulate at once on the grounds of the previously issued invitation.
