Valid Passport
Your passport must be valid for at least 18 months from your intended date of entry into Russia and have at least two blank pages.
Employment Contract
A signed employment contract from a registered Russian employer is mandatory. This is a critical document that proves you have a job offer.
Educational Qualifications
Notarized and, in some cases, apostilled copies of your diplomas and certificates relevant to your job role are required.
Medical Certificate
An official medical certificate from an approved clinic, including a negative HIV test, is required for all long-term visa applicants.

Standard Work Permit
This is the most common type of work permit, tied to a specific employer and position. It is typically valid for one year and can be renewed. The process is initiated by the employer, who must first obtain a permit to hire foreign labor.
