Blog Work permit in Russia

To get a job in a Russian company, foreigners first need to obtain a patent or work permit in Russia (PHP). This is a permit issued by citizens of other states in order to legally work in the Russian Federation. It is intended for those who temporarily stay in the country and do not have the status of a permanent resident foreigner.

Visa is a document which entitles a foreign citizen to cross the state borders. Generally, it not only allows you to stay in the country, but also sets certain restrictions up to the purpose of the trip. Therefore, a tourist stamp does not allow a visitor to enter university as well as private visa does not give the right to work.
