Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this a scam?

You are right to ask. We take no money from candidates. Before departure you receive the draft contract and can study it calmly.

Why is it free for me?

Registration, travel, housing and meals are arranged so that you pay nothing — all costs are covered by the receiving side.

Who pays my allowance?

The Ministry of Defence, directly to you, under the contract. We do not withhold any part of your allowance.

How much will I earn?

The allowance is from 210,000 roubles net per month, about 4,268,000 kwacha at the September 2026 rate; rates change. Plus a one-time payment on signing the contract — up to 3 million roubles depending on the region and position. Housing and meals are free, we pay for your travel or reimburse it after arrival, so most of it can go to your family. The first allowance arrives one month after your arrival at the unit.

What are the requirements?

The service is physical and winters are cold. You need good health and stamina — every candidate passes a military medical commission (VVK) in their own country and a second medical check in Russia, plus psychological screening. Military experience is not required: every position includes training at a training ground.

How long does it take before departure?

Document check: 2–3 days for CIS citizens, up to 2 weeks for citizens of other countries. Then the VVK and selection — 2–5 days, arrival at the unit — 1–2 weeks.

Which documents should I bring?

A valid passport is essential: citizens of the Eurasian Economic Union can use either an internal or an international passport, everyone else needs an international one. If you want a better paid position, bring your education and military documents: diplomas, certificates, military ID, service records, driving licence.

What do I pay for myself?

The passport, the medical check in your country and your personal spending. The consular fee, the Russian course, the medical check and VVK in Russia, accommodation, meals and military uniform are free for you. We pay for your ticket or reimburse it after you arrive.

Are there days off and leave?

Leave is 15 days after six months of service. The service schedule, days off and dismissal procedure are set out in the contract, and your referent goes through it with you before departure.

I do not speak Russian. Can I still apply?

Yes. Before service starts we run a free 1–2 week Russian course: the commands and words you need for service and preparation for the assessment. The referent speaks Russian and English.

What if the command breaks the terms?

Write to your referent straight away. We take it up with the military unit and push for the contract terms to be met. We stop working with units that break the contract.

Can I come with a friend or relative?

Yes. Let him write to us separately and say who he wants to serve with — we will try to send you to the same unit.
