What we cover

What's included in this service

  • Business Visa for Sweden

    We advise on the complete documentation requirements for Russian business visas for Swedish nationals — covering the invitation process, consular application, and submission guidance.

  • HQS Work Permit

    Swedish professionals at qualifying salary levels can access the Highly Qualified Specialist permit — faster processing, no quota cap, and a 3-year permit duration.

  • Standard Work Permit

    For roles outside the HQS criteria, we advise the employer on the quota-based work permit procedure: employer notifications, quota reservation, and the MIA submission.

  • Temporary Residence Permit (RVP)

    We guide Swedish nationals through the complete RVP application — from eligibility assessment to MIA submission and registration.

  • Permanent Residence Permit (VNJ)

    Eligible Swedish nationals may upgrade from an RVP to a permanent VNJ. We advise on the documentation and prepare you for each official submission.

  • Legal Consultations

    We advise on the most appropriate visa category, permitted activities, length of lawful stay, and employer compliance obligations under Russian migration law.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. Sweden and Russia do not have a visa-free arrangement for ordinary passport holders. A valid Russian visa is required for all entries, including short business visits.
A business visa allows participation in meetings, negotiations, presentations, and contract signings. It does not permit the holder to be employed by a Russian company or to receive remuneration from a Russian source.
Swedish professionals frequently qualify for the Highly Qualified Specialist route due to competitive compensation structures. The HQS permit offers a 3-year duration, quota independence, and faster MIA processing.
The process begins with the employing organisation in Russia. The employer files with the regional migration authority, and our team supports the employer through every step.
An RVP is typically valid for 3 years and is not generally renewable — upon expiry, the holder must either depart, obtain a VNJ, or qualify under a different legal basis.
Yes. All our client communication is available in English, and we can accommodate written correspondence in Swedish for documentation purposes.
