Question:
Here is my problem: I am here on a three-month "commercial" visa. I work for a small publishing company in Moscow. Against all logic, my employer says that I am responsible for handling my own visa problems. On top of this, I am married to a Russian but she is not from Moscow (no 'propiska'), meaning that I can only get residency in the small town where she is from. So, what is the best option for staying in Moscow for the long-term?
Jed
Answer:
Dear Jed,

First of all, your company should obtain you work permit so you can work legally in Russia.
In your situation the best option at the moment is to get a 1-year multi-entry visa (commercial) and to try to convince your employer to process the work permit.
For a long-term, if you really want to stay in Russia for a long time you could start a process of obtaining temporary residence permit (but this status requires some travel restrictions).

Please fell free to contact at skochetkova@ath.ru if you need more information.
