I'm a freelance photographer in UK, what do i need to be allowed to freelance in Moscow ?

Wed, 11 Jan 2017 01:41:52 +0000

Hi all ... Just after some advice please ...

I'm a self employed UK based freelance photographer. I'm talking with architectural companies in Moscow about doing some shoots for them in Russia.

The shoots will only be about one or two weeks at a time ... then i'll come back to UK.

Will i just need standard "Work Visa" for year (cheapest) or will i need a special "Work Permit" of some description ?

If anyone can give me info or point in the right direction that would be really helpful ... thanks ! :)

If I am renting - can I still accomodate my Russian friend in the UK?

Hello and thank you first of all - this was one of the most helpful answers I have come across so far with regards to writing an invitation. I wondered if you could help me with another question that relates to a similar situation...
I am a British citizen and would like to invite my Russian friend over for a holiday. I would be more than happy to accomodate her during her stay. Now, the question is - if I am renting, am I still allowed to do that? There is nothing in the contract to say that I can't - as long as the person is not paying, they should be fine to stay over. The landlord does not live at the property, so there is generally no problem with guests being in the house, crashing overnight if needed etc. The is a big comfortable sofa in the living room just for that purpose.
So, if that is generally acceptable, would I need some sort of official confirmation from the landlord to send along with my invitation letter? Or would a copy of the tenancy agreement be sufficient to prove, that my friend can indeed stay with me during her visit?
Also, if I am hosting her - does that necessarily mean I need to sponsor her? If she proves she has enough funds to provide for herself - do I need to send any additional proof of my funds as well? Or would it be best to send that anyway, just in case?
Your advise would be very much appreciated.

Mutliple-Entry "Business" Visa, from UK - How do I go about this?

Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:50:13 +0000

I am based in the UK, and visited Moscow over New Year's 2015-16, on a single-entry tourist visa. A Russian friend of mine is moving back there soon, and I would like to visit her whenever I can. Is it a relatively easy procedure to obtain a long-term multiple-entry business visa to do this? What steps would I need to take?

Thanks for your time.

UK Visa invitation letter for a Russian friend...

Thu, 05 Mar 2015 21:49:56 +0000

Hi.

Just two quick questions regarding visa invitation letters for Russian friend travelling to the UK.

What details do I need to write... other than why and when they visit?

And do I write the letter to my Russian friend or if I am wring to the embassy? For example... Dear Visa Issuing Officer.

Thanks very much for any help..
