Accreditation of employees

In accordance with current legislation all foreign employees of representative and branch offices have to be registered in person. Personal accreditation of foreign nationals serves as confirmation of their official status as employees of representative or branch offices.

Personal accreditation is granted within the limit of required number of employees. The number of accredited foreign employees of the representative office, as a rule, should not exceed 5 people, 10 people for the branch office, and can be extended only on sound grounds.

The validity period of personal accreditation is limited to the validity of the period of permission to carry out business activities for a representative or branch office. The extension of personal accreditation and the accreditation card is only possible with the extension of the said permission to carry out business activities for a representative or branch office.

Services connected with visa support are available for accredited employees of representative or branch offices and their family members.
