Conditions for obtaining a work permit

Before obtaining a work permit in the Russian Federation, a foreign citizen must find an employer and negotiate employment. This stage cannot be skipped, since the documents are drawn up on behalf of the company. The employer does not have the right to demand that a foreign applicant already have a valid work permit.

A work permit for foreigners is issued to those who are employed by a legal entity or individual entrepreneur. The document is strictly tied to the employing company and to a specific subject of the country.

Citizens of visa-free and visa-free countries must obtain a work permit in Russia when applying for a HQS. For citizens of visa-free countries, with the exception of HQS, a patent must be issued instead of this document. Citizens of Belarus, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan have the right to work freely in Russia without special permits.

The conditions for obtaining a work permit in Russia for highly qualified specialists, specialists for quota and non-quota positions differ. Travelmart will help a foreigner obtain a work permit for HQS, as well as in the procedure for applying for quota or non-quota positions. We take care of the entire process: we prepare a package of documents, submit them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and receive a ready-made RPR for non-quota residents or accompany the HQS upon receipt (according to the law, only personal receipt of the RPR).

Restrictions on temporary residence permit for a citizen of Georgia

Despite the large number of advantages of a temporary residence permit, there are also restrictions on some rights, namely:

• Employment is possible only in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation where the temporary residence permit is issued.
• If the temporary residence permit is canceled or the permit is refused, re-application is possible only after 12 months.
• Having a temporary residence permit, a migrant can freely visit all subjects of the Russian Federation, except for closed-type subjects.

He is prohibited from holding certain positions (being part of the crew of a military ship, commanding a civil aviation aircraft, finding employment in companies whose work is aimed at ensuring state security of the state).

Chinese authorities have fined Alibaba $2.8 billion as part of an antitrust investigation. This is the largest fine in the country's history. The company's founder, Jack Ma, publicly criticized officials in October, then disappeared for nearly three months, and the world's largest share offering of another of his companies was cancelled.

Jack Ma was considered the richest man in China. Everything changed after his criticism of the authorities. The businessman's fortune was estimated by Forbes magazine at $65.5 billion. On October 24, Ma criticized government officials at an economic forum in Shanghai, saying that regulatory measures “invented by old men” were out of step with the times and accused them of red tape and protecting the interests of banks.

The speech came after a welcoming speech by Vice Chairman of the People's Republic of China, 72-year-old Wang Qishan - who is called the closest associate of Chinese leader Xi Jinping. He spoke about the dangers of the spread of new financial technologies for economic stability. Ma's words were taken as direct criticism of Qishan, after which he disappeared for three months. Since the fall, the entrepreneur's assets have dropped by approximately $15 billion, and he is now fourth on the list of the richest Chinese.

The investigation into Alibaba Group began in December after Ma's speech. The regulator accused the company, known in the European market for the AliExpress online store, of forcing sellers to trade on only one platform. This practice violated the rights and interests of consumers and hit the business of sellers, the Chinese regulator pointed out.

Chinese authorities intend to reduce the scale of Ma's business empire, country officials told The Wall Street Journal. At the same time, the authorities promise to tighten regulation of fintech startups, making the rules of their work more stringent and similar to banking ones.

In November, Chinese authorities disrupted the largest share placement in history - the company was founded by Ma. Financial Ant Group was expected to raise $34.5 billion in Hong Kong and Shanghai, which would have been the largest IPO in history. After that, the company's valuation could be $315 billion - more expensive than Bank of America. However, the exit to the stock exchanges was canceled two days before the scheduled date.

After the IPO of Ant Group, according to Bloomberg, Ma could rise to 11th place in the list of the richest people on the planet. At the same time, Beijing demanded the separation of media assets from Alibaba, and the elite business school founded by Ma was forced to suspend the admission of new students, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

The confrontation between Ma and the authorities has not only political implications , says sinologist Alexander Gabuev. “The plot here is not only about the struggle between clumsy state capitalism and the popular oligarch-innovator. And it’s how Xi Jinping and his team see the risks to the stability of the financial system,” he said on Facebook. According to the expert, Chinese authorities fear that poorly regulated financial companies could bring instability to the financial system, causing serious discontent among the population.

“When the pyramid of p2p platforms burst two years ago, a lot of Chinese were indignant: “Where were the party and the government when they deceived me?” – writes the expert. “That’s why regulators spent the last year preparing new rules for the operation of platforms like Ant, and the company itself was warned that it would be a good idea for it to hold off on listing.”
