Completed the accreditation of the representative office (branch) in the territory of the Russian Federation? Time to accredit foreign employees!
After receiving the accreditation of a representative office/branch of a foreign company, it's time to proceed with the formalization of personal accreditation of foreign employees. Do you want to learn more about the procedure itself and how to quickly and correctly pass it along with the company«RosCo»? Then carefully read further!
Every foreign employee in your representative office/branch for legal employment must have a certificate of personal accreditation (accreditation card). To receive it, you need to contact the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (CCI of RF).
As a rule, companies are given the opportunity to accredit up to five foreign employees, inclusive. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation must pay a registration fee for coordinating information on their numbers in the amount of 5,000 to 15,000 rubles.
Since 2016, no more than five people are subject to personal accreditation - the maximum amount of the registration fee is 15,000 rubles. It should also be noted that even if only Russian citizens work in your representative office/branch, the procedure for certifying the number of foreign employees in the RF CCI is mandatory when creating a representative office or a branch.
The very process of personal accreditation begins with the provision of an established package of documents to the RF CCI and can take up to 6 months.
However, experienced «RosCo» specialists will take care of ensuring that your foreign employees can start work, absolutely legally. Within two weeks from the date of submission of the documents, a temporary certificate of personal accreditation will be received.
The term of this document can later be extended at the RF CCI. This is a huge time saver! The certificate itself is drawn up for the same period as the multiple working visa of a foreign specialist.
So, when an accreditation card is received - a foreign citizen has the full right to exercise of occupation in your representation office/branch. Now it is necessary to take care of the legal stay of an accredited specialist in the territory of the Russian Federation. For this, he will first need to receive an invitation to enter Russia, and then - and a multiple work visa.
Registration of invitations to enter Russia for employees of representative offices/branches takes place with the support of the RF CCI. The invitation itself is formalized by the Federal Migration Service of Russia for Moscow and allows botha foreign citizen and members of his family to receive a single work visa for up to 3 months. Family members, in this case, include spouses and children under the age of 18.
After receiving an invitation to enter Russia, a foreign worker applies to a Russian consular office in his country for a single-entry work visa. At the same time, the passport of your specialist must have at least two blank pages and its validity period must expire not earlier than one and a half years from the date of the visa's validity. Passports of family members are subject to the same requirements. When filling out the application for a visa, the employee and his family members at the consulate indicate the purpose of the trip, FOREIGN EMPLOYEE/ASSISTANT FAMILY MEMBER, respectively.
«RosCo» also provides assistance to foreign companies in processing multiple work visas for employees of the representative office/branch and members of their families for a period of up to 1 year. The process of registration of the visa starts when the candidate arrives in Russia on a single entry work visa.
In accordance with the current legislation, the representative office/branch, as the receiving party, carries out the registration of the foreign citizen for migration registration within 7 days from the date of his arrival. It's worth noting that documents for obtaining a multiple work visa must be submitted no later than 21 days before the end date of the current visa. Otherwise, the visa may be refused. This is due to the fact that the procedure for arranging a visa to the Federal Migration Service of Russia in Moscow can take up to 20 days.
