Hello,
My name is Adam, and I'm an attorney here in the States. I am doing my utmost to move to St. Petersburg! I already have a place to live, I have a few friends there, and I have part-time work as an English tutor for a small group of people. Unfortunately, I do not have the necessary visa required to move to St. Petersburg.
Does anyone have any advice on how to obtain a visa to live in St. Petersburg? If paying the right person or company is all that is needed to obtain a visa then that can certainly be managed. If visas are only obtainable through an official employer or company then I am open to any suggestions.
I am 27, single, my Russian is decent, I can work in the legal field, work as an English instructor, or I am certainly open to working in other areas.
I look forward to any advice or suggestions that anyone may have. Thank you very much for the help!

Hi
I suggest you to get in touch with the nearest Russian Consulate, they might guide you in the right way.
Best wishes

Hey,
Thanks for the help! The best they can do is a business visa for up to 6 months. It's better than nothing, but I was hoping to stay closer to a year. Guess I'll keep searching.
Thanks again!
