Registration of a company with the Ministry of Internal Affairs

According to the migration legislation of the Russian Federation, only a company accredited with the State Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to issue invitations for foreign citizens to enter the Russian Federation for business or work purposes. Accreditation as an employer of foreign citizens in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is an integral part of the expat employment process.

Travelmart provides services only to legal entities registered in Moscow or the Moscow region.

Accreditation of a legal entity in the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs requires many documents. Our specialists have a lot of experience in the procedure. We will help your company to collect the necessary paperwork and get an account number confirming accreditation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Correction of the account is required in case of:

• changes such as change of the company’s name or other details,
• change of the CEO or representatives authorized to submit documents to the Ministry of Internal Affairs on behalf of the company.

Also, if a company has not applied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a long time (for several years) to issue invitations, it may be necessary to update the data, i.e. extension of accreditation.

• A copy of the passport of the CEO (the first page and the page with registration) - 1 copy.

Our experts will prepare all other documents themselves.
