Can I stay in Russia after completing my study period?
Unfortunately, this is not easy. While studying at a Russian university, the legal residence of a foreign student in the country is guaranteed through the study visa, and it is valid for the entire period of study. As for after graduation, you cannot stay in Russia and get a job without obtaining a work visa or work permit. All information on the documents necessary for legal stay in Russia after graduation is available on the website of the General Administration of Immigration of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, you can work while studying at the university.
