Work in Russia

Working in Russia as a foreigner can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Russia offers various opportunities for foreigners, including job prospects in industries such as technology, finance, engineering, education, and more. However, it is important to understand the legal requirements and procedures involved.

1. Work Permits
To work in Russia as a foreigner, you will typically need a work permit. The employer is responsible for obtaining the permit on your behalf. The work permit specifies the job position, company, and duration of employment. It is essential to have a job offer from a Russian employer before applying for a work permit. Foreign students can find legal part-time jobs without a work permit.

2. Language Skills
While not all positions require fluency in Russian, having a working knowledge of the language can significantly enhance your job prospects and integration into the Russian work environment. Learning the basics of the Russian language can make the transition smoother and demonstrate your commitment to the country.
‍
3. Job Search
There are various ways to search for job opportunities in Russia. Online job portals, professional networking platforms, and recruitment agencies can be valuable resources. Additionally, attending job fairs and industry-specific events can help you network and explore potential employment options.

Can I work while studying in Russia?

Russian legislation allows foreign students to officially work part-time when they don't have classes, and neither the student nor the employer needs to obtain any special permit for this.However, you should not expect that a part-time job will fully cover all your living expenses. Studying in Russian universities is quite intensive, in addition, there are also tasks for self-preparation, so students don't have much free time. Parents (sponsors) should have sufficient funds and bear all the expenses in full during your stay in Russia as a student.

Students are not recommended to work for the first two years of their stay in Russia as they do not yet speak Russian sufficiently and have not fully adapted to the living conditions in a new country. The job that foreign students can find is most often temporary, unskilled and low-paid: in restaurants, cafes, hotels, shops, children's summer camps, etc.

Can I stay in Russia to work after graduation?

All buildings in Russia, including hostels and academic buildings are supplied with central heating, and the average temperature in buildings is almost always 20-22 degrees Celsius above zero. On each floor there is a kitchen where you can cook your own food to your taste. Cafe, gym, classrooms, laundries, etc. are available in almost every student hostel/hotel or close to it.

Can I travel to other cities/countries during holidays?

During winter and summer holidays, students can travel around Russia as well as visit other countries. When planning a trip, it is important to comply with the migration legislation of Russia:

. to inform the university in advance of your travel plans and make sure that your student visa has a sufficient validity period for this;
