Earnings abroad has always been considered one of the most profitable. A salary in US dollars or euros is a great way to significantly increase capital in a short time, save money to buy a home, a car, and more. Dr. In addition, work experience in foreign companies is a significant addition to the resume, which will directly play into the hands of employment.
An example of a well-written resume
Russians often look for ways to go abroad to work. There are 2 main areas in which foreign companies offer vacancies:
- For unskilled labor. There is not a very high level of wages for residents of the country, however, students and people without education and experience can earn much more abroad than domestic companies offer. This includes vacancies in the harvesting, in the service sector, in the cleaning industry and others.
- For highly qualified personnel. Foreign companies are interested in attracting experienced specialists in the field of medicine, science, and innovative technologies. Companies are ready to sponsor internships and teach the language to talented and promising personnel.
The opportunity to make good money, develop professionally, learn the language and enrich yourself culturally - all this led to the popularity of making money abroad among Russians.
Students and unskilled workers in most cases are looking for or in nearby European countries. This is due to the popularity of American programs in the employment market, and in the case of geographically close European countries, the cheapness of crossing the border.
Before choosing where to go to work, you need to find out for yourself some factors:
- The degree of knowledge of foreign languages. Knowing only English may not be enough to get a well-paid job. In most cases, knowledge of at least a minimum level of the official language of the country you are traveling to is required.
- Scope of work and payment. It will be easier to look for a job if you know exactly what position or at least in what field of activity you want to be involved. It is also important to decide on the desired salary; carefully calculate how much money will be spent on rent, food, and other daily needs.
Comparison of salaries in different countries
Often, job seekers want to get a job in those companies that pay for housing and medical insurance for their employees, even if the wages are slightly lower than for the same vacancies in other firms.
- Education, experience. This is especially important if the applicant is applying for long-term employment with high pay.
- A well-written resume. In many European countries, resumes of applicants are first selected by a computer, and then they are already considered by HR specialists. Therefore, it is important to avoid various kinds of errors, provide information as accurately as possible, and answer the questionnaire questions concisely and to the point.
- Properly executed documents that are necessary for legal employment. In different countries, the list of documents may differ significantly, you can find the list on the website of the consulate of the selected country.
- Familiarize yourself with the legislation and law of the countries of prospective employment. It is important to know the laws of the state in which you are going to go both for work and just on vacation. Indeed, in many countries, Russians can pay a great fine with a huge fine for no reason. This is especially true for Asian countries, where residents honor not only laws, but also traditions, including religious ones.
This is far from everything you need to know when looking for the right job. The list is simply endless and is individual for each country. Let's try to figure out which countries are best to go to, and what promises employment there.
Great Britain
Not every Russian will go to the UK for the purpose of employment, as this is a rather risky undertaking. Working in England and getting decent pay is not a pleasure for everyone. Unskilled labor is not highly valued here. Even less likely to find a job if the applicant does not speak English well or does not know it at all.
work at a UK university
The problem with finding a job in the UK began back in 2008. Then the circumstances were as follows: the global economic crisis shook the financial condition of all countries. The UK was no exception. Many workers, both local and foreign, have been fired or made redundant. Therefore, the search for work has become an urgent issue that requires an immediate solution for both British citizens and immigrants.
Getting a job in the UK for Russians was also complicated by the laws adopted in 2014, which also lifted restrictions on working in the UK.
These regulations have toughened competition even more.
It is important to understand that at this stage of the development of the labor market in the UK, only a qualified applicant can obtain a work visa. It is possible to leave to work as a service staff, handyman and other unskilled worker in the UK only illegally.

Italy
detailed map of Italy with provinces
For those who do not know the language at all, it is better to start their career in Italy from the south. Here you can start earning without understanding a single word of Italian. At the same time, the employer, if lucky, will pay for language courses, having mastered which, it will be possible to move further to the north of the country, where wages are much higher. It is important to note that people with higher education can claim good working and living conditions in Italy.
We are talking, of course, about getting the Blue Card. This certificate is issued not only in Italy, but also in any other country that is part of the European Union.
This is what the blue map of the European Union looks like
Germany
Germany is a highly developed country whose economic performance demonstrates constant progress and improvement of the financial and economic system. A particularly important component of the German economy is a serious industrial capacity.
A developed industrial complex, which constantly introduces innovative ideas and technologies, requires the involvement of highly qualified employees. Work in Germany is offered to specialists in the field of science, mechanical engineering, electronics, and electricians. In addition, often the production requires not only specialists, but also laborers.
A woman in Germany can most often get a job as a dishwasher, maid, cleaner, that is, service personnel, if she does not have qualifications and knowledge of the language. If you have a certificate or a good knowledge of German, the range of earning opportunities, as well as the amount of salary, increases significantly.
With knowledge of German, a middle-aged woman can easily get a job as a nurse, nanny, governess. Having an education, or at least a course certificate, will increase income opportunities. For example, an ordinary hairdresser can receive 1,500 euros per month, which is a pretty decent salary for a visiting immigrant.
It is important to note that the implementation of illegal business activities in Germany is a dangerous undertaking.
Even accepting clients at home, which is very popular in the beauty industry of the CIS countries, is prohibited here. That is why to provide hairdressing, manicure, pedicure, make-up, etc. services. at home in Germany is fraught not only with a large fine, but also with deportation from the country.
There are a lot of announcements on the Internet about the recruitment of Russians for seasonal work abroad. Intermediaries promise to find a place during the seasonal harvest, help with a visa and accommodation in the country. Workers are waiting for hard physical labor: they will have to spend several hours in an uncomfortable position, lift weights, get up early. A work visa is not always issued, often people enter on a tourist visa and stay in the country illegally for several months. But despite this, the number of people who want to sign up for seasonal work does not decrease, someone even perceives it as an adventure and an opportunity not only to earn money, but also to visit abroad. We asked people who traveled for seasonal work to talk about their experiences.

Irkutsk
sea kale
I went to work in South Korea, spent a total of a year and two months there. During this time, he was engaged in various things: he worked at several factories, harvested vegetables and fruits, but the most difficult thing was the harvest of seaweed. We simply called this work “the sea”. A Korean farmer rents a plot in the sea, puts ropes there, somehow spuds this cabbage, and when it grows, we sail on boats to collect it.
One leaf of cabbage is about two meters long, and it grows in bunches of five or six leaves. At a time, it was necessary to get two or three such beams, also taking into account the resistance of water. It turns out that you pull 80 kilograms. You had to get up at four in the morning and immediately climb into the cold sea. Before lunch, you pick cabbage, bring it to the shore by boat. After lunch, it is loaded into a car with a special crane, you take cabbage to special drying chambers.
Alco bonuses
More than half of those who come to work are indebted men who feed the whole family. Someone drowns in a mortgage and goes in the hope of closing it as soon as possible. Basically, these are people from Primorye, Transbaikalia, Buryatia, Siberia. The minimum wage in Korea in terms of rubles is about 100 thousand per month. Also, there are always some bonuses from employers, for example, they can be affixed with alcohol. In general, Koreans themselves are hardworking and responsible, they don’t even go on smoke breaks, and they need to somehow balance their work stress, so they can start drinking already from lunch. They have soju - local vodka, and it is considered quite normal to drink a couple of glasses in the afternoon, and in the evening it can legally flow into a booze. I even saw men who came for money, but started drinking there, and it got to the point that their wives sent money for a return ticket.
Many who return from work to Russia do not want to say that there are such tough bosses and hard work, and they say that they simply received a lot of money there, without particularly straining. Because of this, frail, weak men, office plankton and sissies then come to seasonal work, they think that now they can easily earn money there. There were a lot of those who left literally in the first days. Before that, I went in for sports, because it was somewhat easier for me than the others.
"Poly-poly"
I initially entered Korea with practically no money, I didn’t know the language where to look for a job, I didn’t understand. But in Korea there is a labor exchange for unskilled workers, and I found the first place there. There are agents - these are the same workers who have already established good relations with the owners of the farms. From those who want to get a job, they take up to 20 thousand rubles, but all their help is that they will talk to the boss in Korean and ask if he needs workers. Sometimes a person pays, and they just give him a phone number - then call yourself and negotiate. There are real agents who can really help with work in some way - these are usually ethnic Koreans. But before contacting someone, it is better to sit on social networks in specialized groups, google all the information. I know a man who gave 40 thousand rubles for help in crossing the border, and he was simply printed out and given a route sheet downloaded from the Internet.
On the very first day of work, you will learn the first words, “poly-poly” is especially quickly remembered, which means “faster, faster”. When you stay in Korea for a long time, you start to meet different people, they can help with work. In general, even if you don’t know the language and don’t know how to do anything, but you smile, then you can already count on employment and a normal attitude from the authorities. In Korea, all sorts of merry fellows get better and get more hard workers.
One million rubles
When you work in a factory, you have to rent your own apartment. We found a one-room apartment for 15-18 thousand in rubles, for a two-room apartment we paid already 25. And on the seas or fields, housing is provided free of charge, but the conditions there are Spartan. I had only two sheets - one to sleep on, and the other to cover. There were no pillows, hot water or internet. I went to the nearest supermarket to catch wi-fi.
During this time, I definitely earned more than a million rubles, another thing is that I initially did not go for money, but for adventure. I spent some of that money there. In Korea, everything is quite expensive: a pack of cigarettes - 200 rubles, a kilogram of potatoes - 200 rubles. He sent some part to his family, brought something and made a contribution for the future.

Vyborg
strawberry fields
From Vyborg we went to Finland both for shopping and to the water park, which turned out to be even cheaper than St. Petersburg. I constantly heard talk about the possibility of going to work, but I couldn’t get to the farm - no one just shares such information. People who get into the brigade go to work for ten years in a row. The farmer recruits other workers only if someone from his brigade does not arrive or the fields increase. The first time I went on an ad in the newspaper. To go, I even took out a loan. We had a tourist visa, with which you can work in Finland for no more than three months.
At first I got to a good farmer, but only for three days. He was waiting for a whole bus of workers, but they were delayed, and the harvest had to be harvested. There was a large berry, and the attitude was excellent. It was necessary to cut the weeds on the field, you can’t tear them so as not to damage the roots. There were three of us: two men and myself. The farmer gave us secateurs and gloves, the gloves fit the men, but they turned out to be big for me. We laughed, and I went to collect without gloves. The farmer left somewhere, and then returned and brought me the gloves he had just bought in a small size. We can say that the farmer took care of us, and not just hired us.
Then we went to another farmer, but his berries were small, like blueberries. I thought that in Russia I would earn even more. I began to complain to the agent that he had brought me to a place where I couldn’t even repay a loan, picking berries all day long, and he said: “Well, leave!” I packed my things, got on the bus and went to Russia. A year later, it turned out again that the berry has gone, there are still no workers, and I live a two-hour drive from the farm. We packed up and went to a caring farmer together with my daughter.
Berries out of politics
The following year, I found a website on the Internet with a list of all the farmers in Finland. My daughter and I chose those who were closer to the border, who had an email address - wrote them letters with an offer to hire us. We sent out about a hundred letters, and only seven people answered. Closer to the season, two still wrote and asked if we were ready to come. One immediately sent invitations, explained that you need to take a certificate of income, and the other asked a bunch of questions. In the end, we went to the first one.
We traveled for an average of three weeks. We went to the fields by six in the morning, until about noon we picked berries. When the harvest was in full swing, they were harvested until three o'clock in the afternoon. Even when I went for the first time, I saw how women from the Baltics pick strawberries. They do not stand bent over, but put on knee pads and sit over the beds. So, indeed, the back and legs do not get tired, only the hands hurt. On the farm they give instructions: strawberries with a white tip are not good, overripe ones are discarded, without a tail - too. It happens that you accidentally pick the wrong strawberries, but you don’t throw them away, but you eat them. We ate so much that we didn't even want to eat.
Brigades are usually 20 people each, most of them come from Ukraine. They immediately introduced a rule - not a word about politics, we all came to work and are here in equal conditions. For workers, all farmers have equipped houses, where there are bedrooms for several people, a kitchen with all appliances, a bathhouse nearby, and wi-fi. They worked seven days a week, but in the afternoon it was possible to go to the same farmer to pick peas for an additional fee, to go for wild berries. There was also free time - we went shopping on the lakes, played the guitar, rode bicycles. There is such an expression "strawberry tan" - when the back is red, and the front is white skin. We also tried to sunbathe to even out our strawberry tan.
One thousand euros in three weeks
For strawberries, the standard container is a basket, which includes two and a half kilograms. Some take it by weight, somewhere they count by the piece, and somewhere they even divide the income for the whole team. On average, a kilogram of berries is one euro. For three weeks of work, I earned about a thousand euros, my daughter the same amount. But I am a slow person and do not collect very quickly.
But we once had a guy, a gynecologist by profession, he could, where I collect one euro, make two. But some only recoup how much they paid for travel to the farm, visa and local entertainment. Their goal is not to make money, but only to visit Finland. We spent what we earned in different ways: we invested in studies, invested in the dacha, then we took the Daewoo Matiz and for the last time we drove it to the harvest.
Due to various reasons, some Russian citizens decide to move permanently to another country. The desire to improve the material well-being of one's family, to gain prospects for the future, to have a sense of security, encourages one to leave one's home and relatives and go to a new country. Considering the number of countries and the variety of conditions in them, the question is reasonable - where can a Russian live well?
Life abroad is different for everyone. Much depends on education and practical skills. Programmers and other freelancers can move to almost any country. They do not need to know the local language, culture and customs.
Working autonomy allows you to fulfill orders remotely, at home. The choice of the country where it is worth moving from Russia is determined by the income received and the ability to rent or purchase housing.
Owners of other professions should be more careful, because. a hasty move can only aggravate the situation and absorb savings.
In developed countries such as the USA, Germany, Canada, there is always a shortage of paramedics, nurses and secondary school teachers.
Since the requirements for certification and the level of knowledge in developed countries differ from those in Russia, it is necessary to confirm the diploma on the spot. There are more chances to undergo the procedure with existing specialists with rich experience and practice.
The majority, deciding where it is better to go to live from Russia, consider developed countries. There are three reasons for this:
- all developed countries are distinguished by material well-being and high culture (beautiful cities, historical values, loyal political attitude, strong economy);
- developed countries are developing special migration programs designed to help people who have moved to settle in a new place;
- most developed countries have a pleasant climate.
For more than 100 years, many have believed that it is better to move to the United States of America. 882,000 Russian-speaking people live here. Of these, more than 200,000 are in New York.
It is possible to immigrate from Russia to the USA, but it is not very easy. This country is afraid of immigrants and the work of the consulate directly tries to stop this flow.
Statistics show that only 2% of the total number of those who left Russia managed to settle in the United States.
Only outstanding specialists, scientists or athletes who are ready to continue their activities and attribute the merits to America can submit a direct request to the consulate of this country to obtain citizenship.
Documents for moving can also be submitted by those who have relatives in America. However, the latter will have to confirm the call and their financial capabilities to provide the emigrant for a certain period.
Those who receive a tourist visa and decide to stay must contact the consulate and apply for political asylum. A long process of paperwork will begin. Within 5 years, a person will have a travel restriction status.
The average Russian who seeks political asylum from the United States should be prepared to turn down the opportunity to visit his homeland for the next five years. It should be taken into account how this will affect relatives left in Russia.
For girls, the legal way to obtain US residency is by marrying an American citizen. But to stop fictitious unions, there is a requirement to see the groom at least once in person, before arriving in the States.
It has beautiful landscapes and gorgeous beaches. He is very loyal to the Russians who have arrived. Included in the leaders of countries where it is better to go to live for a Russian person. You can get a residence permit if you buy a house or apartment in Spain. The amount to be guided by is from 250,000 euros.
Given the possibility of remote acquisition of real estate, Spain is becoming a great place where Russians live well. Immediately after the purchase, you can apply for a residence permit. True, with one feature - the first time the permit will be issued for a period of one year. After a year, the application is re-submitted and allowed to live in Spain for another two years. The third period is three years. And finally, after six years, the person will receive a permanent residence permit.
Of all the Schengen member states, getting permanent residence in Spain is the easiest!
For those who believe that it is better to move to Spain, the state puts forward two main requirements:
- a sufficient amount of funds for living (it is necessary to provide a certificate from the bank on the possession of a deposit, securities or precious metals, or a certificate of the availability of other material resources);
- no convictions for serious crimes.
Great place abroad - Sweden
Dream about this country. Many people think that a person from Russia is the best place to live here. Statistics show that out of the total population growth, 75% are emigrants (from all over the world).
Whoever receives the official right to live in Sweden quickly finds a good and well-paid job. But the paperwork for permanent residence is very difficult. It's hard to imagine a better place abroad where you should go to live.
One of the possibilities to become a citizen of this state is to marry a representative of Sweden. Such unions are carefully checked by immigration services. This happens because of a special program for immigrants from Russia. Serious means of support are intended for the arrivals. Therefore, the control is very strict.
One of the most populated countries in Europe. A good place for a Russian person to live abroad. Until the 1980s, it was a country closed to immigration. And in the late 2010s, it already had 10% of the total number of people who officially moved residents from other countries.
From 2008 to 2013, Norway led the Scandinavian countries in terms of economy and capital growth among the population. It is a country with a very high GDP per capita - $55,000 per year.
Life in Norway is much better than in Russia: there is more freedom of choice and prospects for the future. For example, there is a high level of trust in people (74%), while in Russian society it is 27%.
Parents and young families are well taken care of abroad. Denmark extends paid maternity leave. Medical care for citizens of the country is free. Men and women are equal here and can hold the same positions and corresponding pay.
Of transport here, a bicycle is common, although there are enough cars. Particularly stands out responsible attitude towards others. For example, for deaf and dumb citizens, announcements at railway stations are duplicated in sign language and displayed on a large screen. Such care of the state makes Denmark a good place to go to live.
Among the reasons for permanent residence abroad in Italy, in addition to marriage, there are three more:
- presence in the country of close relatives;
- opening a business (registration of an LLC or a private enterprise in the territory of the state);
- conclusion of an employment agreement with a company (public or private) and presentation of this document at the embassy.
The status of a citizen is obtained within a period of up to three months after arrival. After that, you can stay in the country indefinitely. Since such a resident as a resident has all legal rights, no one can deprive him of this status. Subsequently, you can send an invitation to Russia to other relatives, if you have the financial opportunity to take care of them.
Southeast Asia
A Russian person can live well in India or neighboring countries (Vietnam, Thailand). Vietnam is characterized by rapid development. Over the past 20 years, has the status of a popular resort. High standard of living in the country. Pleasant climate, cities built in a short time and quiet beaches. The dishes here are different from Russian cuisine, but you can get used to them.
When considering a future place of residence, it is important to learn in detail about the local culture and customs. Some features may attract, while others may repel.
In these Asian countries, you can live for a long time on tourist or study visas. The form for obtaining documents is quite simple. Of the advantages of living abroad in Asia:
- affordable cost of housing;
- good, inexpensive clothes;
- cheap food.
Since 2016, Russians with a foreign passport can directly visit these Asian countries and see everything for themselves. A stamp in your passport that allows you to stay in the country for up to 30 days can be obtained directly at the airport.
Where to go to work abroad? A brief overview of salaries and countries where it is easier to obtain a visa and work permit, an educational program for guest workers from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and other CIS countries.
Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine have now received a visa-free regime in the EU. In Russia, they laugh at him, they say, he does not give the right to employment, although in reality no one bothers to go simply on a passport to Europe, find a job, and complete all the paperwork.
Russians will have to apply for a visa, at least a tourist visa. Or choose Turkey, Thailand, Israel.
The advantages of working abroad are obvious:
- Works are full;
- Salaries from 1000 euros and above;
- Payment in hard currency;
- They throw - very rarely, almost impossible;
- Address - politely;
- Conditions are normal;
In addition, working abroad is interesting, it broadens one's horizons a lot, gives a lot of life experience, not to mention the knowledge of new languages. An ordinary person who has gone to work in Europe or the USA no longer wants to work for a mothering uncle in Ryazan or Kryzhopol.
Best countries for work
Turkey. Ideal for Russians or Ukrainians who want to work in the tourism industry. This is a job in Turkey without knowledge of languages, with training, accommodation and meals. There will be an opportunity to swim. Whoever learns Turkish can get a job as a nanny, nurse or nurse. With education in Turkey, there are few vacancies, there is a lot of competition among the local population. The average salary is low, about $500 a month.
Germany. The best choice for all residents of the CIS, but you need a visa. Very high average salary, approximately 1500 euros. There is a lot of work, we need builders, drivers, finishers, factory workers. Germany is good because you can find a non-dusty job in transport with a high salary. You need to know the German language, at least superficially. There is little English in the country.
Italy. There is a lot of work, but the salaries are low. Italian is required, but the population usually speaks English as well. Italy is good for service workers, nurses, waiters, tractor drivers, drivers, couriers. Attractive with a good climate, excellent location, low housing prices. The average salary is 800-1000 euros.
Poland. A very popular country among Belarusians and Ukrainians. It is easy to learn the language, there is a lot of work, both in industry and in agriculture. Legislation is more loyal to foreigners. But the average salary is not so big, usually about 700 euros.
France. The most romantic country, but there are very few jobs for Russian speakers. Basically, because of the competition of local Russians who receive a French education, as well as Moldovans, who know 4-5 languages. France is good because English is often used. The average salary for a guest worker is approximately 1200 euros. But in Paris there are many vacancies for jobs with pay per hour, for example, as a nurse or to meet children from school. That is, you can also find a part-time job.
Finland. A very popular country for seasonal work - harvesting, berries, vegetables. A huge plus for Russians who do not know the language. It is also good that groups are organized for this with accommodation, meals and so on. Cons - few who can stand it, you need a visa. Also in Finland, if you know the language, you can make good money as a driver, worker, builder. The average salary for collectors is 700-1000 euros, those who know the language and get a permanent job are 1800-2500 euros.
USA. There are all kinds of Work & Travel programs, but few people manage to make money on them. It is better to go on a green card. There are plenty of jobs in the USA, the average salary is $2,500, but if you try and earn money, you can easily find $4,000. Of the minuses - expensive accommodation, a very strict visa regime. Of the benefits - civilization, opportunities, career.
Canada. The visa regime is simpler than in the US, but still complicated. Very difficult work, no freebies. In the last 10 years, there have been problems with the search, but you can find a job. The average salary is $4,000. Canada is popular for drivers, technologists, locksmiths, welders and others - there are plenty of jobs in the industry, and it's still not the same ass washing old people in Naples.
China. Work for Russians in China is usually limited to recruiting girls into an elite sauna. There are many Chinese, they themselves quickly learn Russian, so they don’t really need our compatriots, especially for unskilled labor. But many find a place in trade. The average salary is 500 euros.
These are the most popular countries where you can go to work abroad. You can also consider the Baltic States, Romania, where salaries are already higher than in the Russian Federation, but it’s worth going there if you speak the language.
But in order to earn money for a business or for a large purchase, it is worth considering only Norway, Germany, Canada, Finland and the USA. It is not very profitable to work in other countries, it is easier to go to Moscow or on a shift.
Nevertheless, Europe remains a good place to gain experience, even in Bulgaria or Romania you can see civilization, as the economy there has stepped up in recent years (if you look at real statistics, not read the pro-Kremlin media).
The desire to make good money is quite natural for all people. Russia is a huge country in terms of area, wages in different regions differ many times over. If wages in Moscow or Tyumen suit the majority of the population, then the same cannot be said about the inhabitants of Pskov, Tambov and many other regions. For those living in depressed regions, the best way to earn more money is to leave for regions with high wages. But not all of our compatriots want to work in Russia, many of them basically want to go abroad to work. There, the average salary is much higher, and living conditions are much better. Quite often, after temporary earnings, a family is transported to the country and documents for permanent residence are issued.
Before making the final decision to go to work, you need to soberly assess your capabilities. Abroad, they pay not as much as you want, but how much you cost in the local labor market.
- Language skills. A big plus if you know the language of the country in which you work. Employers have little desire to waste time explaining your duties on the fingers. This takes them a lot of time, which in the end is paid by the worker himself. Accordingly, you should not count on a large salary without knowing the language. This applies to all professions, including highly paid ones.
- Availability of qualifications. In Russia, it is traditionally customary to value jacks of all trades. A completely different attitude to professional skills abroad. They believe that one should master one specialty, but thoroughly. Specialists who can do a lot, but do not do a single job professionally, are not respected in the West. For example, it is better to be a professional bricklayer with a lot of practical experience than to understand a little about construction, cars and plumbing, but really not be able to do anything.
- Floor. It is much more difficult for women not only to look for a well-paid job, but also to get a job in general. A cleaner, a farm worker, at best a nurse - this is the list of the most real employment that women can count on. It is easier for men, there is a large list of specialties that do not require a thorough knowledge of the language.
- Visa. If you are looking for a job in tourism, then you should not hope for high earnings. The employer takes risks by violating the laws of his country, and calculates money from the employee for the risk. Only an official work visa allows you to hope for an adequate salary.
When choosing a country, pay attention not only to salary, but also to the cost of living. This refers to food, accommodation, transport, medical services, etc. The general trend is that the higher the salary in the country, the higher the average cost of living. This is often not mentioned at the time of signing the contract.
There are two ways to search for earnings: independent and with the help of specialized companies.
Searching for earnings with the help of companies
Currently, there are quite a lot of such companies, but not all of them work in the legal field. In connection with the increasing cases of fraud, the Federal Migration Service has developed a special document with practical advice.
What does the FMS advise to pay attention to?
| Signs of a dishonest company | Brief description of actions |
|---|---|
| License number | All licenses that are officially issued by the Federal Migration Service begin with the number 152, the next two indicate the year of issue, then the country is indicated, the last digits indicate the number of the license. For example, the official license number should look like this: 15215RF296. There are cases when a license is issued by the authorities of the regional migration service, then in the number the abbreviation RF is replaced by a two-digit code assigned to this territory. For example, the license number is 1521554210. The number 54 means the FMS region. If the company has other numbers, then they should not be trusted. |
| Company name | If the founders of the company are individuals or various representative offices of foreign companies, then you cannot contact them. These entities do not have the legal right to engage in employment on the territory of the Russian Federation. An exception is that some embassies advertise employment services on their websites, but you need to do this search and submission of documents yourself. |
| The site must accurately indicate the name and surname of the general director and contact details | All information must be checked in the FMS of the Russian Federation or in territorial offices. One more caveat. If you are promised a high salary for an unskilled worker, then these are scammers. Such workers receive no more than 1200-1500 dollars a month. |
| The company should not provide only information services | The task of official bona fide employment companies is to apply for a job in the chosen specialty with the signing of an agreement. You do not need to pay for the provision of information, the contract should contain a clause on the return of money in case of refusal to hire. |
According to statistics, only 20% of companies provide legal employment services abroad, all the rest are scammers.
Independent search for earnings
There are two ways.
The first is that acquaintances who have been abroad for a long time find work. In this case, the problems with obtaining a visa must be solved independently. Try to have acquaintances send a request personally to you from the employer.
Secondly, on the websites of some embassies there is a list of free vacancies with official invitations from employers. For example, Canada has long been engaged in such employment, an application can be filled out on the website. It is allowed to submit several applications at once and wait for a response. This way of looking for earnings is the most reliable, completely safe and legal.
Which countries are best to go to work
Here the choice depends, first of all, on the knowledge of the language, and secondly, on the state of affairs with the labor force in these countries. If you speak English perfectly, then there is no point in going to Spain or France. Without knowledge of the language, you will receive much less, and this despite the fact that you work in one specialty. Each country reacts differently to foreign workers.
