Former U.S. National Security Agency worker Edward Snowden is free to travel within the Russian territory wherever he wants to, Russian Federal Migration Service (FMS) said Friday.

"In line with the law, he has a right to travel within territory of the Russian Federation and a right to work with the exception of the government services," head of the Moscow regional FMS division Oleg Molodiyevsky told reporters.

Earlier this week, Ruslan Gattarov, a member of the Federation Council, upper house of the parliament, has said he would offer Snowden a consultant's job in the Council.

The FMS's Moscow branch would issue a permission allowing Snowden to move to another region if he applied one, said Molodiyevsky.

Snowden was stranded at Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport for six weeks after Washington revoked his passport. He faces espionage charges in the United States after disclosing a classified intelligence surveillance project code-named PRISM.

On Aug. 1, Russia granted him a year-long asylum, allowing him to quietly slip out of the airport.

Under the Russian law, all foreigners must register with the FMS's territorial branch upon taking up residence.

The United States on Wednesday announced the cancellation of a one-on-one summit originally scheduled early next month in Moscow, citing the Snowden case as a lack of progress in bilateral relations.
