New bill: simplifying visas for compatriots and foreign specialists!
Moving to Russia will now be easier! The Russian government has supported a bill extending the validity of visas for compatriots participating in the resettlement program. Instead of short 3-month visas, they will be able to obtain annual visas with the possibility of extension!
What does this mean?
- More time to adapt and complete paperwork
- The opportunity to live and work without unnecessary trips abroad
- A simpler resettlement process for families
There is good news for foreign specialists, too! Installers and engineers from foreign companies working with Russian equipment will now be able to extend their work visas for up to 6 months. This is especially important for strategically significant projects!
The bill is already before the State Duma and could become part of sweeping changes to Russia's migration policy.
