How to prepare for Russian Shared Values Visa relocation
Ensure all family documents (passports, visas, birth/marriage certificates) are valid and apostilled in their country of issue.
1
Your Temporary Residence Permit is tied to one region for living and working (travel nationally is permitted).
Moscow is a common choice for its ease of transition, even without Russian language skills
2
Secure temporary housing (e.g., hotel, serviced apartment) for at least 2-4 weeks. This provides a base while you find a permanent home.
We can assist with both arrangements
3
Declare cash over $10,000 upon entry. Avoid importing vehicles or precious metals without consulting us first, as significant customs duties may apply
4
finances
Plan the divestment of home-country assets (e.g., property sale) and the transfer of funds to Russia.
We can advise. If seeking work, ensure you have savings to cover your first few months
5
