Notes: The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation indicates that since 2015 citizens of 
Armenia, Kazakhstan, and the Kyrgyz Republic are not required to have permits or “patents” to work. Work 
permits are issued to foreign nationals who have arrived in the Russian Federation with a visa, including 
highly qualified specialists. “Patents” are issued to foreign nationals who entered the Russian Federation 
without visa requirements and are subject to work registration.
