_____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ricky Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 11:57 AM To: The Moscow Expat List Subject: Expat List Work permit requires notarized translation ofuniversity diploma? Hi everybody, hope you can help me with this: I have been in Moscow for 1.5 years, having a work permit and work visa, all done via a Russian agent and my company. My renewal comes up in Oct, so my company and I are starting to prepare for the process. Now the agency told that "Starting from October 8, 2008 it is required to provide the notarized translation of the university diploma to obtain individual work permit for foreign employee". Let's face it, one doesn't need to have to have a university degree for all sorts of jobs in order to be successful, or to do the job necessary. And even if I do, the certificate would be nicely packed somewhere in my home country and certainly not available here in Moscow. Can anybody comment on this? Is it true? Why would that be? Does that mean, from Oct 2008 on, only graduates are allowed to work in Russia? This just sounds odd to me. Comments appreciated. Cheers Ricky
