Pursuant to this government resolution, diplomatic missions and consular offices of the Russian Federation may issue multiple-entry employment visas to foreign nationals and stateless persons who are family members of a skilled foreign specialist for the same term as provided by the visa of the foreign specialist they are accompanying on his/her visit to the Russian Federation. Such visas may be extended by the local body of the Federal Migration Service where the foreign national is registered by issuing a new multiple-entry employment visa for the term of the employment or civil-law contract entered into by the skilled specialist under Russian law for the performance of work (services), but for a term of no more than three years for each subsequent visa.
