Case Study: International Company resolves HQS work and residence compliance issues with Konsu

International Company resolves HQS work permit risks in Moscow with Konsu

The customer, a company referred to as International Company involved in wholesale, faced a challenge regarding a foreign highly qualified specialist (HQS) employee from Italy. This employee held a work permit for St. Petersburg, and the client needed to understand the legal risks and possibilities for having this employee work and reside in Moscow instead. They engaged Konsu for legal and migration advisory services to audit the documents and assess the situation.

Konsu conducted a full audit of the authorization and HR documents, analyzed applicable legislation, and identified specific risks for both the employer and employee. The solution from Konsu included detailed recommendations on how to potentially make the Moscow work arrangement compliant and how to eliminate the risks. A significant additional result was the discovery of a personal data inaccuracy in the employee's documents regarding their surname spelling; Konsu provided options to resolve this issue as well. The client received a comprehensive analysis and a clear path forward to address their challenge.
