Russia?
Hey!Thu May 01, 2008 05:31 PM I am interested in the Vlerick Leuven MBA in St. Petersburg because I would like to work in Russia afterwards. Does anyone have info about that? Is it difficult to stay and work in Russia afterwards? Is it worth? Cheers. |

Russia?
Hi there, I am not a speicalist for Russia, but Vlerick sounds like a good option to enter that job market. The Belgium Vlerick school has a good reputation - even though its not one of the top notch MBAs in Europe - so I think the partnership with St.Petersburg school guarantees a certain quality of their MBA.Thu Jun 05, 2008 06:03 PM Or are there many other MBAs in Russia with a name? Did you find any Russian MBA in the relevant international rankings (FT, Economist etc)? I'd be curious! BTW, do you speak Russian? [Edited 05 Jun 2008 by a_mukerjee] |

Russia?
One other MBA program that is just now launching in the Russian market is through GHP. It is a distance-learning plus approach. The program is fully accredited through IWU university--a university ranked the past 2 years in U.S. News and World Reports university rankings. You can get more info here: ghprussia.ru/mba.htmlFri Jun 06, 2008 07:08 PM As far as the issue of staying in Russia after a degree, the legislative issues continue to make this more of a challenge for expatriates. However, it is doable. Good luck. [Edited 06 Jun 2008 by bebacksoon] |

Can you tell me how to get a work permit in Russia? What are the conditions?

The work permit really needs to come through your employer. It requires a legally registered (usu. for-profit company) that has accreditation. This entity applies for a certain number of permits per year. They will then need to work with you and your documents to get the work permit issued which will then allow a visa to be obtained or for the person in Russia they will then need to leave the country and obtain a new visa.Sat Jun 07, 2008 04:30 PM The good news is that once you have the work permit, future visas can be obtained in-country (unless there are additional legislative changes). |

Thanks for the input. In Europe it is similar - you need an employer to get hold of a visa (for non-Europeans)
