IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Russia has implemented a law that provides visa-waived nationals more flexibility in obtaining work permits.
What does the change mean? Foreign nationals who are visa-waived may obtain a work permit after entry if they indicate that the purpose of their visit is for work.
Background: The new law is part of a package of changes to immigration rules taking place in Russia under the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation.
BAL Analysis: Note that the foreign national must state on his or her migration card that the purpose of the visit is for work. If another purpose is stated on the card, a work permit will not be issued.
