Standard Work Permit Quota Application Deadlines Announced

• May 17 – 22
• June 15 – 30

Work permit quota corrections for 2015 can only be filed on the following days:

• July 13 – 24
• August 10 – 31

Each year, the Russian government sets a national quota for the maximum number of available standard work permits. Employers cannot file work permit applications on behalf of foreign workers unless they obtain an allocation of quota numbers, for which they generally apply in the year preceding their need.

What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals

Employers should be prepared to submit standard work permit quota applications or corrections on the assigned days. Employers should contact their immigration professional to discuss medical insurance and accommodation options for foreign employees.
