Can I come to Russia for 1 year?

We would be happy to have you come work with us for 1 year in Perm, Russia as staff or as a volunteer.

However, due to Russian visa laws, the longest you can stay in Russia on a visa is 90 days at a time. Visas are NOT renewable from within Russia. You will be required to leave Russia for 90 days and return to your home country in order to apply for a new visa.

Two ways to get around this 90 day limitation are to:

  1. Enroll in an acredited Russian university and come on a student visa, or
  2. Apply for a "Temporary Residence Permit."

Each of these methods require a large time commitment greater than one year. If you are interested in coming to Russia long-term, please contact us personally using the Contact Form and we will work with you.
