Thread: Question about Russian immigration law

Hello...

I am soon to marry a Russian national living there. She has obligations that will keep her in Russia for a couple of years, at least.

As her husband, is it a legally difficult prospect to move there for a couple of years? Is there a site online where I could look at the rules?

Thank you!

In general, if you want to live in Russia, you can obtain a 1-year mult entry visa and then renew it. Most people in Russia for any considerable length of time use this visa. I have never heard of anyone coming on a temp residence visa, though it does exist.

Hope this helps

Just to add that I think waytorussia.net also have quite a detailed page on the different types of visa, and also residence regulations. I'm no expert, but I would also suppose that the 1 year multi-entry is your best bet. There are plenty of companies on the internet that might be able to support you with that.

That's quite an imaginative username there, hun-hun.
