Employment of foreign citizens in Russia
Foreign nationals working in Russia are subject to both Russian labor and migration legislation. For a dedicated guide on labor law matters, please refer to the relevant resource provided here. The present guide focuses specifically on the migration-related aspects of employment.
Foreign citizens may work in the Russian Federation in a full and lawful capacity only if they possess an employment contract, a work permit, and a work visa. The work permit and work visa are processed not by the foreign citizen themselves, but by their employer in Russia, i.e., a Russian organization (or a branch of a foreign organization).
