Key Points
- Medical examinations will be required for foreign nationals
before obtaining a Russian work permit
Overview
Beginning 31 Oct 2021, the government of
Russia started to require foreign nationals to pass a
mandatory medical exam before a new work
permit or permit renewal could be approved. In
accordance with Russian law, the mandatory medical examination must
be carried out within Russia at an approved medical
institution. The medical examination must also have taken place
within 30 days of the foreign national entering Russia prior
to obtaining work visa approval.
What are the Changes?
The Russian government now requires foreign
nationals to complete a medical examination
within Russia before a work permit can be granted.
