Here is my info: I am an American citizen living in Barnaul, Russia with my wife who is a Russian citizen. I am here on 1 yr multi entry business visa until July, 2008 I am a CELTA certified English teacher I want to teach English classes here on my own, rent a space or teach in company as well as private lessons. How can I do this legally? work permit, work visa, residence permit? I understand that the business visa is not appropriate for this. Would it be easier if my wife formed a business and hired me? Thanks for any help you can give me. Reid

Starting a business is an entirely different issue. Russian corporation law is a minefield of byzantine requirements not to be undertaken without proper legal guidance.
