You can drive with a notarized translation of your license. Mine's Canadian and I've been doing this for over 3 years now. Re. credit, most banks require that you have a "propiska" somewhere, which generally requires you to either own property, or have a landed immigrant status. Banks don't tend to take temporary registration (one year, 6 months, whatever) as enough. Perhaps there are some banks which are more lenient, but I don't know. The more likely route is if your company is willing to vouch for you, and take out credit on your behalf.Alex

In my case the driving license is from European Union (Italy); as far as I understood I can use it, but for a limited period? How long is this period, and after that what is needed? To make a new Russian one or it will be enough to adapt the foreign driving license in some way? Further I would like to ask if someone has knowledge of where to receive credit in Moscow (for buying a car) as a non-Russian citizen. All the banks I asked so far refuse even though I have a good (white!) salary... Thankful for any advice! Cheers! /Johan _________________________________________________________________
