How to prepare for Russian Shared Values Visa relocation

Document Verification & Preparation

Ensure all family documents (passports, visas, birth/marriage certificates) are valid and apostilled in their country of issue.

1

Choose Your Initial Region

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

Arrange Initial Accommodation

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

Understand Customs Rules

Declare cash over $10,000 upon entry. Avoid importing vehicles or precious metals without consulting us first, as significant customs duties may apply

4

Secure your
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

Plan with
Confidence

Embark on your relocation with a clear roadmap. We are your partner, here to design and guide you through every step of a seamless, well-organized journey
