The procedure of obtaining a work permit

The procedure of obtaining a work permit for the Corporations – members of the American Chamber of Commerce

The employing Company – member of the American Chamber of Commerce, can make the documents for its foreign colleagues working in any region of Russia in the mode “one window”.
For this purpose the Company-employer must be accredited also in the center of the rotation of citizens on passport – visa questions.

Required documents: the same as for the Company- employer plus the certificate confirming membership in American Chamber of Commerce (issued for 1 year).

Membership in American Chamber of Commerce gives the following advantages with obtaining a work visa:

• possibility to make the documents for the foreign colleagues, who work not only in Moscow, but also in other regions of Russia;
• the period of obtaining work visa invitation is shorter for 30 days, since both the permit for the employment of foreign workers (Attraction Permit) and the work permit for a foreigner (Plastic card), and the work visa invitation for 90 days itself are executed simultaneously.

However, there are some shortcomings:

• legalization of passports and diplomas of foreign citizens is required;
• any corrections, replacement and other operations with the documents take 10 working days;
• to renew a single-entry work visa into multiple-entry with the prolongation of the period of validity takes 18 days.
