Trade-tested Indian welders, pipe fitters, oil & gas technicians, construction supervisors, and industrial operators mobilised to Moscow, St Petersburg, Tyumen, Surgut, Krasnoyarsk, and across Russian regions. Full work-permit and migration-card support.
Arman Consultants recruits skilled Indian workers for Russian employers under our Government of India recruitment licence (No. 000140/BOM/PROP/1000+/3/436/84). India-Russia bilateral relations are on a strong upward trajectory, and Indian technical workforce — particularly in oil & gas, construction, and heavy industry — is well-regarded by Russian employers for technical competence, English proficiency, and compliance with international HSE standards.
Russia operates a distinct work-permit framework (разрешение на работу) administered by the Main Directorate for Migration Issues (GUVM) of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We manage the complete India-side documentation cycle — apostille, consular attestation, invitation letter support, eMigrate clearance, and pre-departure orientation — so your Russian entity receives workers who are migration-compliant and operationally ready from day one.

Russia permit process expertise. Work-permit issuance for Indian nationals involves employer-initiated quota allocation (квота), GUVM work-permit application, and Russian consular visa in India. Our documentation team tracks current GUVM processing norms and pre-checks every application package for completeness.
Oil & gas and heavy-industry focus. We maintain dedicated pipelines for certified pipe welders (6G/GTAW), instrument technicians, HSE officers, mechanical fitters, and shutdown crews — consistently in demand across Russia's hydrocarbon, petrochemical, and mining sectors.
Complete India-side preparation: apostille, consular attestation, employer invitation letter support, eMigrate clearance, GUVM-compliant medical certificate, and consular visa pack.

Russia faces a structural demographic labour shortage, intensified by significant workforce departures in 2022–23 and the absorption of large numbers of working-age men into the defence sector. The government has progressively expanded TCN work-permit quotas to compensate, with India identified as a priority partner in the bilateral economic framework. Russia's Ministry of Labour and the India Ministry of External Affairs have held bilateral discussions on structured labour mobility, creating a clear regulatory pathway for Indian workers.
Key demand sectors include: West Siberian oil-field maintenance and expansion (Gazprom, Lukoil, Rosneft supply chains), LNG plant construction in Sakhalin and Yamal, Far Eastern shipyard expansion, Moscow and St Petersburg metro and highway infrastructure, and the large-scale residential construction programmes underway in major Russian cities.
You share roles, site location (Moscow, Siberia, Far East), shift pattern, and headcount. We advise on permit quota, GUVM timeline, and mobilisation schedule within 24 hours.
India-wide sourcing activated; candidates trade-tested at certified centres. Welders assessed to ASME IX / GOST; HSE officers assessed against OHSAS 18001 / Russian OSHA equivalents.
Full India-side dossier: apostille, consular attestation, eMigrate clearance, GUVM-format medical certificate, criminal background check (FBI / State police equivalent), and employer invitation letter pack.
Shortlisted CVs submitted; video interviews coordinated. For oil & gas roles, your senior engineer or HSE lead can participate in the technical screening.
GUVM work-permit obtained through your Russian entity; candidates attend Russian consulate in India (Mumbai or Delhi) with fully prepared dossier.
Briefing on Russian labour law (Trudovoy Kodeks), rotational schedule, site safety norms, camp rules, and migration-card registration requirements within 7 days of arrival.
The Russian Labour Code (Trudovoy Kodeks RF) governs all employment in Russia, including TCN workers. Key provisions include: written employment contracts (mandatory), minimum wage compliance, 28-day annual paid leave, and regulated overtime. Migration compliance requires registration of the work permit with the GUVM within 3 working days of arrival, and annual renewal for long-term assignments.
For remote rotational sites, additional compliance applies: camp HSE norms (Russian Rostrud standards), occupational health checks (медосмотр) for specific hazardous-category roles, and PPE provision to GOST standards. Our pre-departure orientation covers all of these requirements so candidates arrive fully briefed and employer expectations are clear.
Unlicensed overseas recruitment — or recruitment by agents charging candidates — creates serious risk under both Indian and Russian law. Arman Consultants operates within the full licensed framework, and every candidate we deploy to Russia is processed through the official Indian eMigrate system and Russian GUVM permit chain.
Our GOI licence (No: 000140/BOM/PROP/1000+/3/436/84) covers CIS and Russia placements. Every deployment is documented and verifiable through the official Indian eMigrate portal. No candidate travels on an illegitimate visa or undeclared work arrangement.
Strictly employer-pays. No placement fee, no deposit, no document charge to candidates. Our compliance with this requirement is contractually specified and auditable.
Every candidate deployed to Russia — especially oil & gas and mining sites — is briefed on Russian Rostrud HSE standards and your site-specific safety induction requirements. We do not deploy workers who have not completed our mandatory HSE orientation.
Our service charge per successfully deployed worker is fixed at contract signing and covers India-side sourcing, trade testing, apostille/attestation, eMigrate clearance, medical certificate, and pre-departure orientation. Russia-side GUVM permit costs and employer fees are your responsibility; we provide current fee estimates at project inception.
For rotational oil-field or mining deployments (50+ workers), we offer dedicated India-based selection events where your senior engineer or HSE manager participates in technical assessments in person — ensuring workforce quality meets your site standards before any visa is issued.
A standard work permit (разрешение на работу) issued by GUVM, employer-specific and quota-allocated. The process requires employer initiation, GUVM approval, and Russian consular visa issuance in India.
GUVM processing typically runs 20–45 days from complete employer application. Total mobilisation from contract signature runs 45–75 days depending on site location.
Yes — rotational (вахтовый метод) deployments are familiar territory. We brief candidates specifically on 28/28 or 60/30 rotational patterns and camp-environment expectations.
Yes — ASNT Level II (UT, MT, PT, RT) certified inspectors are a regular part of our Russia supply. PCN and CSWIP certifications can be obtained pre-deployment where required.
Most of our candidates have functional English for technical communication. For Russian-language requirements, we can source candidates with basic conversational Russian on request.
