3 1. Categories of foreign citizens permitted to visit Russia without a visa In accordance with migration legislation of the Russian Federation, entry into the territory of Russia by a foreign citizen requires a valid visa. However this rule does not apply to all foreign citizens. Foreigners who are permitted to enter the country without a visa can be divided into the following categories: 1) Citizens of the CIS Citizens from countries comprising the CIS have the right to remain on the territory of the Russian Federation for personal reasons for a period of 90 (ninety) days. In case of employment in Russia, the period of stay can be extended to equal the period of validity of the Russian work permit, up to three years. Upon granting of an extension to a work permit, the foreign citizen is then obligated to exit Russia and re-enter in order to get a new migration card. 2) Foreign citizens from countries having an agreement with Russia regarding a non-visa regime and who are thereby entitled to visit Russia for a period up to one month in duration. For example, citizens of Turkey, Israel, Serbia and others have the right to enter Russia for any reason other than employment for a period of 30 (thirty) days. 3) Foreigners having temporary residence in the Russian Federation Russia has agreements with certain countries regarding a visa-free regime for entry and departure from the territory of Russia for temporary residents within the temporary residence validity in Russia. Countries having such an agreement are, for example, Italy, Germany, Denmark and others. However, citizens of other countries, for example, France, having temporary residency status in the Russian Federation are required to have a visa of temporary residents in Russia for the period of their temporary residency status, that is to say, for a period up to three years. 4) Those having permanent residency status in the Russian Federation Those within this category are exempt from acquiring a visa for visiting Russia for the entire period of their permanent residency status, up to a period of five years. 2. Basic types of invitations and visas for enter Russia If foreign citizens are not included into one of the above mentioned categories, then entry into Russia is granted only with a valid visa. The basis of visa s issuing is an invitation on behalf of hosting party. Invitation is issued by the Federal Migration Service (FMS) of Russia either via its territorial authority or by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. In certain instances, the basis for the issuing of a visa to a foreign citizen to visit Russia can be the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation or the head of the diplomatic representative office or consular institution of the Russian Federation. Types of invitations for the receipt of visas I. invitation letter issued by the FMS on the state blank on the basis of request of a private person or a legal entity II. invitation issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia in the virtual form (received via telex) without requiring its obtaining on a state blank III. invitation letter issued on the letterhead of the inviting company for foreign citizens citizens of the EU (except in specific cases) IV. tourist travel vouchers made by tourist organizations that have been accredited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs V. a decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation upon a request (verbal note) of: - Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a foreign state, - diplomatic representative office or consular institution of a foreign state; - representative of an international organization accredited in the Russian Federation Types of visas for entry to the Russian Federation 3

The purposes of foreign citizens entry Russia can be found in the above mentioned list Purposes for Travel (see section 3 of this guide). 5. How to obtain a work visa for a foreign citizen who is not considered a Highly-Qualified Specialist Invitations of foreign citizens for employment in the Russian Federation by Russian legal entities via the FMS occur in several stages: I. The employer must first receive the permission for the recruitment and hiring of foreign workers in the FMS and obtain an appropriate work permit for the foreign citizen. In presence of the approval stamp of the FMS about the acceptance of documents for obtaining work permit on the corresponding application form, the inviting company can apply to the FMS for obtaining an invitation letter for entry of a foreign citizen on a single-entry work visa valid for three months. II. The employer should make initial accreditation of the company in the FMS either for a period up to one year or to extend the accreditation in case of its expiration. The result of accreditation of the company is the issuing the registration cards to the company 6

7 by the state authority. During the initial accreditation a simultaneous request of a first invitation for entry of a foreign citizen to Russia on a visa is made; in such a scenario an invitation letter for single-entry work visa valid for 3 months is requested. III. Upon receiving an invitation letter in the FMS, the employer forwards it to the prospective employee (foreign citizen) to the country of his/her citizenship or to a third country where the foreign citizen is currently employed for approval of either a work permit or permanent residency permit. There the foreign citizen applies to the Russian consulate for a single-entry work visa valid for 3 months. IV. After foreigner s entering the territory of Russia on the basis of a single-entry work visa and upon receiving the appropriate work permit, this work visa is re-issued from a single-entry to multi-entry work visa valid for the same period as the work permit. Later, and upon obtaining the appropriate work permits for a subsequent period of employment, the employer applies to the FMS for an extension of foreigner s existing multi-entry visa without the foreign citizen departing from Russia not later than the final day of the current work visa validity. An invitation for a foreign citizen by either a Representative office or Branch office of a foreign company for employment in the Russian Federation can be realized by one of the following variants: а) via the FMS in the aforementioned scenario; б) via the State Registration Chamber or the Chamber of Commerce in the following order: I. Obtaining Permission for opening a Representative Office of a foreign company in the State Registration Chamber or the Chamber of Commerce, or the accreditation of a Branch office in the State Registration Chamber for a period up to 3 years. II. Obtaining personal accreditation cards for employees of the Representative Office in the Sate Registration Chamber (or service cards for employees in the Chamber of Commerce) or cards of visa service for employees of Branch offices for a period up to three years. The State Registration Chamber or the Chamber of Commerce cannot issue more than five of such personal cards in the period for which the company has been granted accreditation on the territory of the Russian Federation. III. Obtaining an invitation for entry on a single-entry work visa valid for 3 months, the foreigner makes the request to the Russian consulate in the appropriate country for the visa. IV. Upon entry of the foreign citizen, the single-entry visa is revalidated into multi-entry visa valid up to one year, but not longer than the period of accreditation of the Representative office in the State Registration Chamber/Chamber of Commerce or the Branch Office in the State Registration Chamber. One of the particular features of obtaining a work visa via in the State Registration Chamber of the Chamber of Commerce is that obtaining of such a visa does not require the presence of foreign employee s permission documents for work in Russia. However, a foreign citizen work visa s obtaining in advance does not exempt the employer from its obligation to obtain the required permission for the recruitment and hiring of foreign citizens and personal work permit for the employee. Accordingly, a foreign citizen can stay on the territory of the Russian Federation with a work visa obtained in the State Registration Chamber or Chamber of Commerce but at the same time does not have the right to be employed in the absence of a work permit. Moreover, if a foreigner has a work visa, but does not have the appropriate permission documents for work, the reason for his/her presence on the territory of Russia is untrue and can be considered grounds for the annulment of the visa. 6. How a Highly-Qualified Specialist can enter Russia for the purpose of employment Foreign Citizens can be invited to Russia as Highly-Qualified Specialists (hereinafter HQS) with the appropriate level of qualifications and if the level of compensation is set at more than 2 million rubles annually (for scientists and teachers the level of compensation is not less than one million roubles; for participants in the Skolkovo project there are no set requirements to the level of compensation). In accordance with article 13.2 of the Federal 115-FZ from On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation (hereinafter - The Legal Status of Foreign Citizens), those permitted to recruit HQS for employment are: - Russian commercial organizations; - Russian scientific organizations, institutions of vocational education (except for institutions of religious or spiritual vocational education), healthcare institutions; - other organizations who are engaged in scientific, scientific-technical and innovative activity, experimental development, testing, personnel training in accordance with federally mandated priorities for the development of science, technology and engineering of the Russian Federation in the instances that have been provided by legislation of the Russian Federation if state accreditation is available; 7

8 - Branch offices of foreign legal entities accredited in accordance with procedures established on the territory of the Russian Federation. There are two ways to invite an HQS to Russia: I. Obtaining an invitation on company letterhead for entry of a foreign citizen on a single-entry business visa valid for 30 calendar days If information regarding the foreign citizen as a Highly-Qualified Specialist is available on the official website of the FMS, that is to say the foreigner claimed him or herself as an HQS either at the FMS Department of his country of nationality or at the diplomatic representative office or consular institution of the RF, the potential employer (the customer) can send him a written invitation to Russia for negotiations. On the basis of this invitation-letter the foreigner is handed a single one-month business visa. Upon arrival of the foreign citizen in the RF on this visa and issuing HQS work permit during the validity term of the visa, the business visa can be reissued without leaving the country at the FMS into the multiple working one for the work permit s validity term or the passport s validity term if it expires earlier than the work permit. II. Obtaining an invitation on the FMS blank for entry on the multiple working 3-year visa Such an invitation is to be requested at the Russian FMS simultaneously with a HQS s request for a work permit. When a foreign citizen is in possession of a valid work visa and has received a work permit as a Highly-Qualified Specialist, the visa is re-issued into a multi-entry visa of a Highly-Qualified Specialist. If the existing visa identifies the former employer, the newly issued visa for the Highly- Qualified Specialist will identify the new hosting party on behalf of which the work permit was issued. Accompanying family members of Highly-Qualified Specialists who are abroad are issued a separate invitation for entry to the Russian Federation on a multi-entry work visa as accompanying family members. In the event where they are present in Russia on existing work visas as, accompanying family member, visas are re-issued without the HQS s necessity to leave the country. In accordance with paragraph 12.1 of article 13.2 on the Law of the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens, accompanying family members also have the right to independently pursue employment in the Russian Federation with a valid work permit and to study in educational institutions. In this case they can hold a work visa either as an HQS accompanying family member or hold their own relevant work or study visa. Upon the extension of a work permit of a Highly-Qualified Specialist for the next term, the visa of the foreign worker and members of his/her family are extended at the Federal Migration Service without leaving the country. 7. Obtaining a transit visa for a foreign citizen In accordance with article 25.7 the on order for entry to and exit from the Russian Federation and listed as Reasons for travel, a foreign citizen is obligated to obtain a transit visa in the following instances: a) Evacuation of foreign citizens arriving in the Russian Federation in visa-free regime (passengers of cruise liners, citizens of countries having existing agreements with the Russian Federation on a visa free regime, passengers in transit without a visa up to 24 hours), if due to objective reasons the foreign citizen stays beyond authorised period of stay of a visa-free regime. b) Exit from Russia of a foreign citizen who did not depart in time while his/her current visa was valid. A transit visa is issued for a period up to 10 calendar days. If a foreign citizen is traveling through the territory of the Russian Federation by air, a visa is issued for a period up to 3 days. Иностранцу может быть выдана виза с кодом ТР1, то есть однократная, или с кодом ТР2 - однократная или двукратная. A visa with the code ТР1 - for only single entry can be issued to the foreigner, as well the visa with the code ТР2 for one or two entries can be issued. To obtain a transit visa a foreign citizen must have all the required and coning documentation in accordance with the of the Russian Federation. In accordance with article 31 of the Law on the entry to and exit from the Russian Federation, transit through Russia without a transit visa is permitted to the following foreign citizens: - who are flying non-stop through the territory of the Russian Federation; - a passenger on international airliner with a stopover in the airport on the territory of the Russian Federation having the proper documentation for entry to the country of destination and a flight-ticket indicating the date leaving from the airport of stopover on the territory of the Russian Federation within 24 hours from the moment of arrival, except in instances where it is a forced stop; - those residing in a country that has existing international agreements with the Russian Federation. 8

9 8. Procedures in case of a foreign citizen loses his/her visa in Russia Upon losing personal documents (passport, work permit, migration card etc.), a declaration of the fact must be made to the territorial division of the police regarding the lost documents. Then it is required replace the lost personal identification document at the appropriate consular institution which is located in Russia. After that a duplicate of the Russian visa of the same type as the previous one, as well as a migration card and a tear-off part of notification of arrival by place of residence, should be received by the foreigner in the Federal Migration Service. In accordance with article 8 of the Agreement of the RF and EU in case of lost identity documents while on the territory of the Russian Federation, citizens of the European Union (with some exceptions) can depart from Russia without a visa or other permission documents. In this instance, a diplomatic representative office or consular institution of the foreigner s country of citizenship provides him with an identification document which gives him/her the right to depart from the territory of the Russian Federation.
