The bank takes over the verification of documents before sending them to the Federal Tax Service, interaction with the tax authorities, and payment of the state fee. Non-residents also get access to free online accounting, business consultations, a free service for working with marketplaces, and so on.
The service is currently available in the web version. In the future, support for the interface in foreign languages is planned. As emphasized in the press service, \"T-Business\" was the first among Russian banks to launch an online sole proprietorship registration service for non-residents of the Russian Federation.
To start a business in Russia, a foreign citizen needs the following documents:
- passport or ID card;
- residence permit (VNZh) or temporary residence permit (RVP);
- registration at the place of stay (or a spread with a stamp in the VNZh);
- (optional) certificate of no criminal record — required for some activities;
- (optional) birth certificate — if the passport does not contain information about the place of birth.
After the client indicates citizenship in the questionnaire, a bank employee contacts him to help him go through the entire procedure. An entrepreneur can sign documents and receive a qualified electronic signature (UKEP) at a meeting with a representative at a convenient time. After that, the bank sends the documents to the tax office, and after 3–5 business days, a foreign citizen receives a letter and a message on his mobile phone from the Federal Tax Service with the results of the document review.
