Need information regarding LLC creation in Russia as a foreigner for Residence permit

[dovunru2]

Hello,

I have heard that you can start LLC on tourist visa as a foreigner, and then sponsor yourself through that company on work permit, true?

Also if you hold trp/pr, russian or former Soviet citizen, no need to sponsor yourself through work permit, you can just function as ceo, is it true?

Also is it necessary for ceo to be russian, trp /pr for your LLC at start and only he can sponsor you for work visa?

Usually the company owner or CEO needs proper status to handle sponsorship, but it’s not always strictly required they be Russian; it depends on the local rules. So if you’re asking is it easy to setup a limited company here, I’d say it’s doable but not exactly effortless—more like Company formation made effortless if you get good guidance. When I went through this, navigating all the visa and company rules felt like a maze until I found clear advice.
