No more than 90 days per semester

Limits for stay in Russia 90 days every 6 months on a multiple entry business visa:

For a long time there were no restrictions to stay in Russia for Russian multiple visas. This limitation has been formulated in October 2007 in Russian Migration Decree No 635 (dated 04.10.2007)

Before there was no such a limitation. But in 2007, Russian Government imposed such a restriction on the basis of international practice. The Law settles that the total duration of stay of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation on a multiple entry visa (in particular, for multiple business and humanitarian entrants) is set not more than 90 days during each period of 180 days. Ie it does not matter whether the alien has spent 90 days in Russia without leaving or has visited Russia several times for short time, the total cumulative number of days spent in Russia on the same visa must not exceed 90 days within six months. Thus, in 2008, many foreigners have faced an unusual need to control the number of days spent in Russia, and to go out regardless of the business, any time when it is necessary to comply with the law. Naturally, this need causes inconvenience to those foreign citizens who should be in Russia permanently in the interests of business. Now they have to leave Russia after 90 days of stay, and then they can come back to Russia on the same multy visa only when the first 6 months of the visa end. Of course, this restriction (90 of 180) is not essential, if a foreign citizen comes to Russia every month for 2 weeks, no longer.

But what can you do to stay in Russia for a year?

The fact that visas for short-term (less than 3 months) stay in the country, according to current international practice, is regulated by the?

Visa policy of a Country, but visas to stay more than 3 months, have been referred to the immigration policy of the State. Accordingly, the status of the holder of a such visa, the procedure and the procedure for issuing these visas and issuing government agencies - are different. Visa policy of the country is forced to be build on the basis of international principles, on the basis of international agreements and arrangements. But the immigration policy of the state is a purely internal affair of each country, and it aims primarily to protect national interests in demography and employment.
