Question:
|
|
|
| Hi, I'm from the United States and am planning on beginning a program in Moscow to become certified to teach English as a foreign language. I hope to remain in Moscow after completing the class and teach from 6-9 months. Because the class starts soon I don't have time to wait for a year long business visa to be processed, but do have just enough time to obtain a 3 month visa. Since I want to stay in Moscow, is it possible to extend that 3 month visa to a year long business visa at some point during my first 3 months in Moscow, or do I have to return to the United States where I live, reapply for a year long visa, then return to Moscow, wasting tons of money on a plane ticket just to do this? Also, since you can only be in Russia for a consecutive 180 days on a year long visa, can I travel for a weekend to a country nearby Russia to satisfy the requirements of this law, or must I return to the United States? Thank you for any help!!! |

Dear Peter,
It is not possible to extend your business visa in Russia, but you can do it in the nearest Russian consulate abroad (Baltic countries, Finland, Poland for example). Same applies to re-registration. You don't have to go back to USA, short trip to nearby counter will be just fine. Good luck! |
