QUESTIONS

Who can apply for the rebate?

Foreign productions shooting in Moscow through a Moscow-based service company or co-producer. We check eligibility for your project before you commit. [CHECK CURRENT TERMS]

What counts as qualifying spend?

Local costs paid in Moscow: crew, equipment, locations, transport, accommodation and similar. We map your budget against the current rules.

How long do permits take?

It depends on the location: streets and parks are faster, landmarks, the metro and road closures need more lead time. You get a realistic timeline with the location package.

Can we fly drones?

Drone flights in Moscow are strictly regulated and decided case by case. We tell you early what is realistic and offer alternatives.

Do you help with visas?

Yes — invitation letters and visa support for cast and crew, plus logistics on arrival.
