Features of the procedure for issuing an invitation for installation work visa

Issuing an invitation to a foreign citizen for a visa is carried out through the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia; it requires the completion of certain steps and the provision of relevant documents.

It is important to consider that the invitation must be issued on behalf of a Russian legal entity, and the invited foreign citizen must be an employee of a company abroad with which the inviting organization has entered into an agreement to perform installation work (otherwise known as equipment maintenance or commissioning of equipment, or warranty service) for enterprise of the inviting party on the territory of the Russian Federation.

First of all, an agreement must be concluded for the supply and warranty service of equipment, or separately for installation work, between the Russian company and a foreign legal entity. This document will be the basis for issuing an invitation and visa to a foreign citizen who travels to Russia to carry out the agreed installation work.

After this, the host company submits an application to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive an invitation for a service technician.

A visa for service technicians belongs to the category of work visas (installation work) and allows a foreigner to work at production sites and on the premises of the inviting organization, perform commissioning work and warranty service of equipment. It is important to note that, unlike other types of work visa, an installation visa does not" require a quota or a work permit.

The validity of a foreign citizen’s passport must be at least 1.5 years after the expiration of the intended visa. This requirement is common to all work visas.

Also, with this visa, a foreigner has the right to transport specialized equipment and tools across the border for diagnostics and repairs, which is not permitted with a business visa. A foreign citizen invited to installation work cannot bring his family members with him.

A foreign citizen invited for installation work must undergo certain procedures within 30 days of arrival, such as a medical examination, fingerprinting and photography.
We also remind you that upon arrival on the territory of the Russian Federation, a foreigner must register at his place of residence with the territorial division of the migration service within 7 working days from the date of crossing the border. We, as a consulting company, cannot help with registration.

Issuing an invitation for an escorted visa from Visa-Russian.ru is a convenient and reliable way to ensure a safe stay for your service technician in Russia. We guarantee full compliance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and a high level of professionalism in all our actions.

Documents required to invite a foreigner to Russia as a service technician

We undertake the preparation of a package of documents, which includes:

  • Petition (application) for issuing an invitation.
  • A copy of the foreigner’s foreign passport (main page with personal data and photograph, with notarization). The passport must be valid for at least 1.5 years from the date of intended departure from Russia.
  • Letter of guarantee from the applicant regarding material, medical and housing support for the foreigner for the period of his stay in Russia.
  • A copy of the maintenance agreement for the supplied equipment.
  • Receipt for payment of state duty.

Additional documents are provided if necessary:

  • A document confirming the grounds for urgently issuing an invitation.
  • If a foreign citizen receives a visa not in the country of his citizenship, he must provide documentary evidence of permission for continuous stay in this state for more than 3 months. This may be a temporary residence permit (temporary residence permit), or residence permit (residence permit), or another document provided for by the legislation of the host country. A notarized copy is accepted.
When a company first applies to the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive invitations, foreigners are required to go through the company accreditation procedure. Read more here.

Our qualified specialists will undertake the preparation of all necessary documents based on the information you provide, and experienced representatives will submit documents signed on your part to the authorized bodies.
