Many Russian employers often need to attract a foreign citizen from a country with a visa regime to the company. To do this is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
Today, we will tell you more about this.
What should an employer do in order to issue an invitation to Russia?
First of all, the employer must understand the purpose for which he invites a foreigner.
The purposes of the invitation to Russia may be different, for example:
- You want to apply for a foreign employee for your company;
- You need to invite a foreign partner to conclude a contract and other commercial purposes;
- You need to conduct a business meeting or negotiations, at which this foreigner should be present.
Having determined the purpose, the employer should apply to the GU MVD for preliminary accreditation, and then following a certain procedure, which may differ depending on the purpose of the visit, draw up an official document called “ Invitation to the entry of a foreign citizen. "
The invitations themselves are classified based on the purpose of the visit. Thus, based on your goals, invitations to Russia are divided into:
- Worker;
- Commercial;
- Business.
If we talk about a work invitation, it cannot be issued without a work permit . If you are interested in this particular type of invitation, then read the this article .
A commercial and business invitation is issued only on behalf of the organization, therefore, after accreditation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (registration of an account card), you need to collect and submit the following documents:
- Application for entry into the Russian Federation;
- Copy of the alien's passport;
- Information about the company where the foreigner works;
- A check that confirms the payment of state duty.
After 20 business days from the day of submission of documents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you can pick up a ready-made invitation to Russia. You send this document to a foreigner. Having received it, a foreign citizen must apply to the Russian Consulate in his country for a visa.
Only after receiving a visa , a foreign citizen has the right to cross the border of the Russian Federation.
