What does this service include?
Working abroad is an extraordinary opportunity, but administrative procedures can quickly discourage. Employment contract compliant with local law, validation by labour authorities, consular visa — every step must be impeccable. MigraGate coordinates the entire process in direct contact with your employer and the relevant administrations. We assist both African employees hired by Russian or CIS companies, and professionals on long-term assignments. Our legal team verifies contract compliance, manages statutory deadlines and prepares you for the on-site registration procedure.

Frequently asked questions
Does my employer need to be involved in the procedure?
Yes — they must sign official documents and in some cases file a permit application in their name. MigraGate coordinates these exchanges and provides the required templates.
Is the work visa renewable?
Yes. Work visas in Russia and the CIS are generally valid for 1 year and renewable. We also handle renewals.
Can I bring my family with a work visa?
Yes. Once your visa is obtained, your spouse and children can apply for family reunification — a service we also manage.
What does the MigraGate fee for this service cover?
Our fees include legal analysis, employer coordination, file assembly and consular monitoring. Visa fees and government taxes are charged separately.
