What's included in this service
-
Business Visa Preparation
The current visa-free arrangement applies to tourism and personal stays only. Saudi nationals travelling for commercial purposes require a properly issued business visa. We advise on the complete documentation requirements — including the invitation process — for submission at the Russian Embassy in Riyadh or Consulate General in Jeddah.
-
HQS Work Permit
Saudi professionals employed by qualifying Russian entities at or above the statutory salary threshold can access the Highly Qualified Specialist route — quota-free, valid for 3 years, and processed within 14 business days.
-
Standard Work Permit
For Saudi nationals whose roles fall outside the HQS threshold, we advise the employer at every step of the quota-based work permit procedure — quota reservation, employer notifications, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs filing.
-
Temporary Residence Permit (RVP)
We guide Saudi nationals through the RVP application — assessing legal grounds, preparing documentation, and coordinating MIA submission for those seeking to establish longer-term residence in Russia.
-
Permanent Residence Permit (VNJ)
Eligible Saudi nationals who have completed RVP requirements may apply for a permanent VNJ. We advise on all documentation and supporting statements and prepare you for the official filings.
-
Migration Law Consultations
We advise Saudi nationals and their employers on the appropriate legal entry category, permitted activities, and compliance obligations under Russian migration law — including how the new visa-free arrangement interacts with work and business travel rules.
