The Federal Law contemplates issuing a regular business visa valid for up to 30 days to foreign citizens entering the Russian Federation for a guest performance (organisation and staging of events for a compensation based on civil law contracts, where a foreign citizen being a creative professional, publicly performs works of literature, art or folklore).
The employer and the customer have the right to engage foreign citizens who are on a guest performance in Russia, without having to obtain a permit to attract or use foreign citizens, while the said category of foreign citizens has the right to work on the territory of Russia without work permit or patent.
