Dear all,

I need your advice and help.

I would go to Russia (after COVID) on the HQS status, what has a lot of benefits and ease within the legal structure beside the uncertain- How to rent a flat and be registered.

In my understanding as Expat with HQS-status the registration process for the landlord is ease as well - as it is different to the registration with usual work permit (7 days) - as the HQSterms (within 90 days) affect also the registration period for the landlord (otehrwise the HQS possibility wouldn´t make any sense for anyone living longer in Russia).

But my company tells me that for the landlord the registration within 7 stays active in anyway and therefore no one is going to rent to forigners, especially if they are travelling around Russia for business, as after every leave a new registration need to be done?

So I need advice how it is really and how do you deal with that regulation on an practical way. I am quite sure there is an official way which works out.

Thanks Andreas

What you mention about the 90 days window is the period to enter the Russia, activate the HQS visa and do the address registration.

As explained to me, when granted with a HQS visa you are out of Russia and they are giving a window of 90 days to do the things with the right way.

I believe that COVID has affect the way that state is doing the migration thing so ..relax and wait!

I live in an apartment hotel that is professionally managed; I pay a small fee for each residence registration. No problems. It is something of a hassle for both you and your landlord to re-register every time you travel outside your city.
