FAQ

Common questions

Yes. While Turkey and Russia have a visa-free arrangement for tourist travel up to 60 days, this does not apply to business travel or employment. A business visa must be obtained separately for all commercial activities.
No. The tourist visa exemption applies to personal leisure travel only. Attending business meetings, negotiations, or commercial presentations in Russia requires a properly issued business visa.
Turkish nationals can apply at the Russian Embassy in Ankara or at Russian consulates in Istanbul and Antalya. Our team prepares the complete documentation set for consular submission at any of these locations.
Yes. Turkish nationals employed by qualifying Russian entities at or above the statutory salary threshold are eligible for the HQS work permit. The route is independent of annual quotas and processed within 14 business days.
Turkish nationals have historically been active in Russia's construction, engineering, and trade sectors. Our team supports work permit applications across all industries, including construction, retail, hospitality, and technology.
Yes. Employment in Russia requires the appropriate work authorisation — a business visa alone is not sufficient. We assess your situation and recommend the correct legal category before any status change.
