- Employer: EGRUL (state register of legal entities, tax service)
- The employer is a civilian company — matched its name on EGRUL; not work at a military base or “camp”
- Got a Bangla/English translation of the contract in advance; will not sign any Russian paper I don't understand
- Travelling with BMET clearance, through a licensed agency
