Your Journey Timeline
Let’s get to know each other.
This is your first step into the world of Moscow Connect. During this free, no-obligation video call, we’ll get to know you — your reasons for considering Russia, your desired timeframe, and your current situation. Whether you're exploring or already committed to relocating, we use this session to understand your needs and answer any initial questions you may have. It’s relaxed, honest, and completely pressure-free.
Tailoring your journey.
Following the discovery call, we dive deeper with a structured one-on-one consultation. Here, we explore your motivations, long-term goals, professional background, and any specific concerns you might have. This session forms the foundation for your personalized relocation plan and helps us recommend the most suitable visa routes, living arrangements, and integration pathways.
Your move, mapped.
Based on your consultation, we craft a custom relocation roadmap tailored to your timeline, profile, and objectives. This includes detailed guidance on visa eligibility, document preparation, legal considerations, housing options, family needs, and more. You’ll receive a personalized checklist and timeline — so you always know what to expect and what’s coming next.
Securing your path.
This phase focuses on ensuring all your paperwork is in perfect order. Our legal team helps you gather, translate, notarize, and submit documents correctly, whether you're applying for a visa, a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP), or seeking eventual permanent residency or citizenship. We ensure full compliance with Russian regulations while saving you time, stress, and guesswork.
Setting you up for success.
Once your move is confirmed, we assign you a dedicated concierge — your local partner on the ground. They’ll help you find an apartment, get a local SIM card, set up bank accounts, register your address, and navigate any other practical steps. This one-to-one service ensures a soft landing and personal support in those first crucial weeks.
You’ve landed — now what?
From airport pickup to your first meal in your new home, we make your arrival seamless. We coordinate transport, help with luggage and customs where needed, assist with apartment check-in, and even stock your fridge if requested. Our goal is simple: you arrive in Russia feeling calm, confident, and supported from the very first moment.
From new city to new home.
Your first months in Russia matter. We provide ongoing concierge support to assist with things like setting up utilities, registering for healthcare, joining local clubs or events, and even booking language lessons. Think of us as your personal lifeline while you adapt — available whenever you need us, with advice, solutions, and reassurance.
Continue on your terms.
After your initial six months, you’ll have the choice to continue with our premium concierge service at a discounted client rate or transition to self-managed life with optional support add-ons. Some clients continue working with us long-term, while others only check in when needed — we’re flexible, and the choice is entirely yours.
