Thread: A couple questions on teaching English in Moscow

Thanks for all those tips! But, maryo, do not go with BKC! I have not gone with them but I have looked up many different companies to possibly go with and BKC are known for not paying, treating their teachers horribly, and a pain to deal with. I would recommend Language Link especially if you have a certification already. I've had experience dealing with them and they wanted to hire me but I backed out at the last minute because I wanted to go independently.

hddscan, thanks, I'll make sure I find a place willing to provide the registration of living. I looked it up a bit and it seems like it's just called visa registration. Also, do I have to stay at the place I register? In some articles I read, it's implied that if the place I'm renting is not wanting to register me, I can just have a friend register me at their place with the implication that I would be at the place I rented. It wasn't clear though.

This is what you need - Порядок постановки иностранных граждан на учет по месту пребывания и снятие их с учета

Well, by law you should stay at the place of registration, that's the whole purpose of registration
In reality you could stay in one place and be registered in other but that's kinda illegal, however it is very hard for authorities to prove that, so they usually do not bother.
