For foreigners and stateless persons, it is often very difficult to navigate Russian migration legislation. It changes frequently and has been consistently tightening over the past 20 years. To ensure your stay in Russia is lawful and to help you avoid complications, we provide the following services:

1. Telegram Consultations. You can seek advice even before arriving in Russia if you have any doubts regarding your legal status.
2. Foreigner’s Guide. A document developed by me specifically for foreigners. Currently, the guide is available in Russian and English, but it can be translated into any language upon request. It contains concise information about the country, specific features of certain regions, documents you must have with you, guidelines on interacting with Russian state authorities (such as the police and migration services), and what to do or avoid if you are detained.
3. Long-Term Legal Status Regularization. This service involves determining whether you have lawful grounds to stay in Russia, as well as assessing eligibility for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP), Residence Permit (RP), or Russian citizenship. The legal grounds are numerous and can seem complex. To clarify your situation initially, schedule a consultation and provide as much detail as possible about your circumstances to ensure an accurate response.
4. Registration of self-employment, Individual Entrepreneurship (IE), business entity for foreign entrepreneurs, obtaining SNILS and TIN. We will explain the difference between self-employed and IE, IE and legal entity, advise what is better to choose in your specific case, register your business with the Federal Tax Service, assist with choosing a taxation system, recommend banks for opening a settlement account, and provide other services related to business operations.
5. Judicial challenges to entry bans, deportation, and undesirability of stay. In Russia, several authorities can impose restrictions on a foreigner’s stay in the country. These are primarily the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) and the Federal Security Service (FSB). In some cases, Rospotrebnadzor (due to illnesses, primarily HIV status) and the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) impose bans on foreigners who have served criminal sentences in Russia (after completing their punishment). This is the most complex service for foreigners, as by the time you seek help, the state already has claims against you—sometimes very serious ones. Therefore, if you are unsure about anything or do not know how to proceed, be sure to use a consultation or order the Foreigner’s Guide. This will help you at least avoid basic mistakes.
6. Other Services for Foreigners. The range is sufficiently broad. In each specific case, formulate your request as precisely as possible so that I can understand what may be offered in your situation.
