What is the difference between a work permit and a confirmation?

Short answer

The permit is the company’s; the confirmation is yours.

РазрешениеIssued to the company — the employer’s right to attract foreign labour, from the Agency for External Labour Migration
ПодтверждениеIssued to the person — the individual’s right to work for that employer
What the law provides

The разрешение authorises the employer: it is the company’s permit to attract foreign labour, issued by the Agency for External Labour Migration. The подтверждение authorises the person: the individual confirmation of the right to work. They are issued separately, to different holders, and each side of the employment needs its own — subject to the categories that are exempt from one or both.
