Entry into the Russian Federation for work or other purposes entails numerous mandatory procedures for foreign citizens. Legal residence and employment require compliance with both migration and related administrative regulations.
For highly qualified specialists alone, there are over a dozen key migration stages. Their successful completion requires detailed planning and coordination from the employer.
The main migration stages include:
-
Arranging voluntary health insurance (VHI/DMS).
-
Legalization and translation of documents.
-
Signing an employment contract and notifying the authorities.
-
Obtaining a work permit and an invitation for a visa.
-
Processing a work visa and entering the RF.
-
Migration registration, medical examination, and fingerprinting.
-
Timely submission of notifications to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Each stage has specific requirements, deadlines, and procedural complexities. Professional legal support helps optimize the entire process, minimize risks, and avoid serious administrative liability for violations, which for companies can reach 1 million rubles.
Beyond migration formalities, for a comfortable life in Russia, a foreigner needs:
-
Registration in the pension insurance system (SNILS).
-
Creating a verified account on the Gosuslugi portal.
-
Submitting biometric data.
-
Obtaining a TIN (INN) and opening a bank account.
-
Obtaining a Russian SIM card, which is mandatory for using many services, including banking and migration registration via the dedicated application. Using someone else's SIM card entails significant fines for all parties involved.
A verified Gosuslugi account opens up broad opportunities for a foreign citizen:
-
Simplified access to government services, MFCs, and online services.
-
Convenient payment for goods, utilities, and transport.
-
Remote banking and obtaining a qualified electronic signature (QES).
-
Timely notifications about fines, debts, and legal acts.
Despite the apparent availability of information, in practice, the process is fraught with difficulties:
Contradictory data on portals, incorrect consultations at MFCs and banks, and technical errors during data synchronization between systems (pension fund, Gosuslugi, Ministry of Internal Affairs) lead to refusals and process delays.
