A person is constantly looking for places where he can live better and earn more. Therefore, it is not surprising that dozens or even hundreds of thousands of foreign citizens come to Russia to work. Of course, many of them work illegally, but in order to avoid problems with migration services, it is necessary to apply for a work visa.
Instructions
Step 1
For foreign citizens wishing to work on the territory of the Russian Federation, the employer must issue a work visa. The basis for its registration is the permission of the Federal Migration Service to attract foreign workers, as well as an application from the host company, which has a mark from the migration service, confirming the submission by the employer of documents for obtaining a permit to attract a foreigner to work.
Step 2
Having such documents, the company can apply to the migration service to issue an invitation. The validity of a single-entry work visa for a foreign citizen in Russia is up to 90 days.
Step 3
The invitation is issued on the letterhead of a state institution and must be provided by a foreigner to the Russian consulate of his country to obtain a single-entry work visa in Russia. A foreign citizen, when applying to the Russian embassy in his state to obtain a visa, submits the following documents: - an invitation to enter Russia; - visa application form, which is filled in by a foreigner; - original foreign passport; - color photographs; - health insurance policy; - a receipt confirming the payment of the consular fee.
Step 4
On average, the processing of a Russian visa at a consulate takes up to 14 days. Single-entry visas are issued the fastest, then double-entry, and long-term multiple. Having entered the territory of Russia on this visa, a foreign citizen receives a permit to carry out labor activities in the territory of the Russian Federation.
Step 5
He has the right to re-issue a single-entry work visa to a multiple-entry one, which is valid until the expiration of the permit. This allows a foreigner to cross the Russian border more than once during the period of employment in the company. An invitation to enter the family of a foreigner is issued using the same type of visa as that of a foreign worker. Family members, according to migration legislation, include foreign citizens: - spouse or spouse; - children who have not reached the age of eighteen; - disabled children who have reached the specified age, but are dependent on their parents.
