YEREVAN. – It is not difficult for Armenian citizens to get a work
permit in Russia, head of the state migration service said.

Gagik Yeganyan explained that the current legislation limiting
presence in Russia to 90 days in a row within 180 days refers to those
having no contracts or work permits.

“It is very easy to get a work permit. You have to apply to the local
department of Federal Migration Service,” Yeganyan said during the
debates on migration issues. The quota set for migrant workers is 2-3
million people.

Yeganyan also said work permit can be extended without leaving Russia.
