Permanent Residence Permit
We help assess eligibility for a Permanent Residence Permit (PRP) and prepare documents for submission. The route, requirements and any work restrictions depend on your circumstances. Highly qualified specialist (HQS) cases can have specific conditions; discuss your situation with a lawyer before relying on a general checklist.
How We Can Help
Understanding the PRP
The PRP is a legal status granted to foreign citizens that permits them to reside in Russia for a fixed term. It is a crucial milestone for those looking to eventually obtain Permanent Residency or Citizenship.
Unlike a standard visa, a PRP allows you to exit and re-enter the country multiple times without additional paperwork, provided you maintain your registration.
Legal Rights
Grants you the right to work in the specific region of your registration without a separate work permit.
Healthcare
Eligibility for Free Compulsory Medical Insurance (OMS) at state polyclinics and hospitals.
