HOW TO MOVE TO RUSSIA?
Relocation to Russia. Professional immigration is the most popular reason for entering our country among residents of the CIS countries. To obtain legal employment, you must obtain a work permit and apply for a work visa.
Guests from the CIS are required to travel to us only with foreign passports (excluding citizens of Belarus, Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Armenia). They are required to obtain a patent, undergo a medical examination and pass an exam on knowledge of the Russian language. Violators are denied entry for up to 10 years.
It is necessary to obtain a work permit from the future Russian employer, which looks like a plastic card. This may take a couple of months. Citizens who require a visa receive a work permit before entering our country. Based on this, you must obtain a work visa for three months at the Russian representative office in your country, which can then be extended for the duration of the contract.
After entering the Russian Federation, you must register with the Federal Migration Service at your place of work within 3 days.
The next step is to obtain a temporary residence permit for 3 years. After this, you can count on permanent residence for a period of 5 years with the possibility of subsequent extension. To obtain a Russian residence permit, a foreign citizen must live legally in the country for at least a year.
Russian citizenship can be obtained 5 years after receiving a temporary residence permit. To obtain citizenship, you must have an official source of livelihood and prove your knowledge of the Russian language.
