I understand what you're saying about the work visa, but it really does not
make sense that you can repeatedly apply for and receive 90 day business visas.
This stands in clear contrast to the stated Russian law - unless you're saying
that things are different in practice.
At best, I would think that after the expiration of your work visa you could
apply for and receive ONE 90 day business visa (which is really a one year
business visa with two 90 day terms), after which you would need to leave the
country and either a) wait 90 days to re-enter Russia on that same business
visa or b) re-enter Russia on an entirely new and different visa (eg. work,
student).
And even if you could repeatedly apply for and receive 90 business visas, is
it not true that you would need to leave Russia and have the visa issued in
your native country? Flying home every 90 days just doesn't sound practical.

If in between jobs -- former employee need not be left out in the cold.
A Working Visa designates the name of the compay for which the Visa holder
works, hence the Working Visa attaches exclusively to the company that
submits the invitation on behalf of the employee to the Migration Service
for approval. If the Working Visa-holding employee leaves the company
designated on the Visa, then the Visa is technically invalid. HOWEVER, only
the former employer would be privy to this fact -- visa or other authorities
would not be made aware, which leaves former employee with room to manuver
until the date on the Working Visa expires. During this interim period,
former employee may arrange to remain in country by applying for a 90-day
business visa, and once it expires, employee may again obtain another 90-day
business visa -- this may be repeated indefinately.
Good luck,
RUSA
