Russia

Ordinary work visa. A Russian organization can obtain an Interior Ministry invitation for a foreign hire to seek an ordinary work visa.

Free, with the law behind every answer

Ordinary work visa

Entry for the sponsored employment if a work visa is issued; the invitation alone gives no work right.

The sponsoring Russian organization first seeks an Interior Ministry invitation for the proposed work; the invitation is the basis of the work-visa application.
Russian Foreign Ministry consular service: Ordinary Work Visa
A US applicant files through the Russian consular post serving the applicant’s place of residence, using that post’s document intake channel.

You keep your U.S. citizenship.

One question, from the program’s own rules.

Do you have a binding job offer in that country?

Not legal advice.

Time: Processing starts after the authority accepts a complete application; work or study begins only after the required permission issues.
Cost: The authority assesses its filing charge under the fee schedule in force on submission, plus document costs.
The hard part: Obtaining the employer invitation and completing the consular filing through the post serving the applicant’s residence.

Language: Russian, proved under the citizenship procedure.
Civics: Knowledge of Russian history and the fundamentals of Russian law.
Time away: Five years of permanent residence counted from the decision granting the residence permit to the citizenship application. The current citizenship law states that period without publishing a separate ordinary absence allowance.
Two passports: Yes. You keep your U.S. citizenship.

Time on this program does not count toward permanent residence or citizenship; the family would need to switch to one that does.
The ordinary work visa authorizes sponsored employment but is not the permanent residence permit from whose grant Russia counts the 5 citizenship years; a separate residence option is required.

The law behind these dates

Time you must spend there: The program sets no minimum number of days. Renewal still expects it to be your home.
Tax: Where you become tax resident follows the days you spend there and where your home is. We map it for your family before you move.

We never file a tax return. We tell you what applies and brief the professional who does.
