FAQ
Answers to the Questions You Ask Us Most
- Question:Can a foreign national buy an apartment in Russia?Answer:Yes. Foreign nationals have full legal rights to purchase residential property in Russia. Restrictions apply only to agricultural land and border-zone properties. We handle all specifics based on your country and migration status.
- Question:What documents does a foreigner need to rent or buy property?Answer:Rental: passport and migration document. Purchase: passport, migration document, and Russian tax ID (INN) — which we help you obtain. We prepare and verify the full document package on your behalf.
- Question:Can I register at a rented apartment as a foreign national?Answer:Yes — and you are legally required to do so within 7 days of arrival. The landlord must agree, which is often a sticking point. We handle this negotiation as part of our standard service.
- Question:Who handles the registration — me or your company?Answer:We manage everything: document preparation, coordination with the property owner, and submission to the authority. You provide your documents — we do the rest.
- Question:What is included in full service and how much does it cost?Answer:Full service covers property search, legal verification, contract translation, transaction support, and residency registration. A complete cost breakdown is provided at your free consultation — no hidden charges.
- Question:Does my visa type affect my right to rent or buy?Answer:It affects timelines and procedural requirements, but not your fundamental right to transact. We work with all statuses — tourist visa, migration card, RVP, VNJ — and adapt the process accordingly.
