Registration and work with a residence permit in another region

Permanent registration for residence permit. What documents are needed to register for a residence permit?

Permanent registration is a stamp that is placed on a residence permit and confirms that the migrant lives at the permanent residence address indicated on it. The word propiska is used in everyday life, but from a legal point of view this is not correct, since no law establishes such a term.

Information on the list of necessary documents for registration under a residence permit is indicated in Part 1 of Art. 17 of the Federal Law “On Migration Registration...” dated July 18, 2006 No. 109. The migrant will need to submit to the department of the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia or the multifunctional center (MFC):

• application for registration with a residence permit in the Russian Federation (we will describe the application form and the procedure for filling it out below);
• passport of the country of which he is a citizen (stateless persons do not submit such a document);
• Residence permit in Russia;
• a document confirming that the migrant has the right to use housing, at the location of which he will be registered (for example, a purchase and sale agreement, a lease, an application from the owner of the residential premises for registration, the form of which does not have a set form and can be drawn up in any form, etc.). You can download the statement from the owner using the link;
• a receipt for payment of the state duty in the amount of 350 rubles (the amount of mandatory payment is established by clause 16, clause 1, article 333.33 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

The legislator exempts the migrant from the obligation to submit a document confirming his right to reside in a certain premises if state or municipal authorities have information about the existence of such a right (Part 2 of Article 17 of Federal Law No. 109). For example, if a foreigner bought an apartment in Russia and formalized the transaction properly, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on migration issues receive information from the Rosreestr authorities.

The period during which a permanent residence permit must be registered is 7 days after a foreigner receives a residence permit, or within the same period after his actual arrival at his place of residence (Part 1, Article 16 of Federal Law No. 109).

The foreigner does not receive a registration document at the place of residence, since registration under a residence permit is confirmed by a stamp affixed by an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on migration issues to the residence permit belonging to the migrant. The stamp indicates the name of the registration authority, the address of the residential premises, the date of registration and the signature of an authorized officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Registration of foreigners with residence permits in 2021

To obtain a residence permit 2021, you must provide a set of documents. This set is small, but you should approach the selection of each paper responsibly so as not to be refused. Naturally, the responsible person is obliged to point out inaccuracies in the preparation of documentation when submitting a set of papers for obtaining a residence permit 2021. However, correcting errors may lead to delays. To obtain a residence permit, the following documents are required.

If a person does not work, he must bring a certificate of disability or incapacity to work to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

According to the law, only citizens who successfully pass tests in subjects studied at school receive the status of “residence permit”. First of all, this is knowledge of Russian, which is assessed according to several indicators. This includes speaking, listening, the ability to read a text and understand its meaning, knowledge of lexical and grammatical norms of the language. Reaching the threshold of 75% of the total test volume by the examinee allows him to apply for a residence permit.

On the history and knowledge of the legislative foundations of the Russian state, tests are also carried out in the form of tests. The test taker must also score at least 75% correct answers to the questions. Preparation for passing the tests is carried out in centers at migration departments. Staff explain to visitors how to behave during exams and how much time is allocated for each subject. Typically, one test under the 2021 residence permit program takes half an hour or 40 minutes.

Russian legislation allows certain categories of citizens not to take mandatory exams. These include men who have reached the age of 65, women who have crossed the 60-year age threshold. Russian-speaking citizens with official status do not undergo mandatory testing. Also persons participating in the program for the relocation of compatriots. Foreigners with the status of a highly qualified specialist do not need to take the exam. Persons related to Russian citizens are entitled to obtain a residence permit 2021 without passing tests.

It has become easier to obtain a certificate of residence in Russia; in addition to the categories of citizens that were defined earlier, one more has been added. An additional simplified scheme applies to foreign investors, those who have invested significant funds in the economic development of the state. Thus, with the help of the program, the President and the Government of Russia want to improve the country’s economy.

Categories of foreigners who have access to a simpler permit procedure have been retained. These are highly qualified specialists, citizens of the Republic of Belarus, native language speakers, and persons who have been granted refugee status. Additionally, the group whose members have the right to have a residence permit includes persons participating in the resettlement program, as well as those who have temporary asylum in Russia for political reasons.

The simplified procedure brings citizens many advantages compared to the procedure for obtaining a residence permit in past years. A foreigner does not need to first apply for a temporary residence permit; mandatory residence in the Russian Federation for a year is also not required.

Citizens born on the territory of the RSFSR who can confirm this fact receive a certificate in accordance with a simplified procedure. They do not need to obtain a temporary permit in advance. Some believe that they can take advantage of this right if they were born in the USSR or had a USSR passport. This is not true: a residence permit 2021 according to this rule is issued only for former residents of the RSFSR.

Residence permit 2021 is also issued for students who enrolled in studies and successfully completed their studies with honors. To do this, they must provide a document confirming a high level of training. Russian science and production are interested in attracting highly qualified foreigners; if the documents are in order, then nothing prevents the granting of the status of obtaining a residence permit 2021.

The application form that a migrant must submit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for permanent registration with a residence permit at the place of residence is established by the Administrative Regulations approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 23, 2017 No. 881 (Appendix No. 2).

Reasons for refusal to register a migrant

Employees of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation may refuse to register an applicant with a residence permit. You will not be able to register if you find:

• lack of documents necessary for registration;
• presence of errors/corrections in the completed application;
• lack of consent of the owner of the residential premises to register a migrant there (and acceptance of documents will be refused even if there is no consent of at least one of the owners, if there are several of them).

After correcting inaccuracies and receiving missing documents, you will have to apply for registration again.

List of required documents

To apply for registration at the place of residence, a foreign citizen must present:

• identification document;
• residence permit or temporary residence permit;
• documents that confirm the right to use residential premises;
• receipt of payment of state duty;
• the application itself, filled out according to the form given in Regulation No. 2 to Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 514 of July 30, 2021.

The state fee for registration in accordance with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation currently amounts to 350 rubles.

Temporary registration for residence permit

Registration at the place of residence is necessary for foreigners who do not have a place of residence, or who are temporarily located in another place (not at their place of residence).

According to clause 1, part 3, art. 20 Federal Law No. 109, a migrant is required to register at the place of his temporary stay within 7 days from the date of arrival (for example, in a hotel, in a rented apartment). The specified period is reduced to one working day for foreign citizens/stateless persons who:

• do not have a place of residence on the territory of the Russian Federation;
• arrived at a medical institution, hotel, boarding house, etc.;
• arrived at the place of work, provided that it is carried out on a rotational basis;
• do not have an established residential address and are in a social rehabilitation institution;
• are serving their sentence in a correctional institution (temporary detention center for foreign citizens).

If the registration authorities are not working on the day of the migrant’s arrival, temporary registration for a residence permit is issued on the next working day.

About further actions after receiving a residence permit

Any foreigner crossing the border of the Russian Federation is required to notify the migration authorities of his arrival and place of stay. If during the visit he lives in a hotel, boarding house or is undergoing treatment in a medical institution, then the responsibility for registering such a guest falls on the administration of these institutions.

For all others, it is mandatory to contact the FMS within 7 days.

The rights and obligations of foreign migrants are regulated by several regulations.

The deadlines are exactly the same as for Russians - 7 days from the date of arrival. If a foreigner lives in a hotel, tourist center, or is undergoing treatment in an appropriate medical institution, then the responsibility to notify the migration service falls on the shoulders of the administration of the institution.

If a foreign citizen plans to stay in our country for a long period of time, he has 2 options for registering: To register in the residential premises of the host party, which is in the possession of this party, the foreigner must: Registration or registration of citizens with citizenship of other countries in within the Russian Federation, is regulated by the following legislative acts: All of the above laws and acts establish the rules for the implementation and maintenance of migration registration of citizens who come to Russia from other countries.

in contrast to registration at the place of residence (migration registration), when a foreign citizen stays (i.e. is temporarily in this residential premises), registration at the place of residence assumes that the citizen resides and, accordingly, uses public services. Thus, looking at From this “short” list of differences, we can conclude that these 2 types of registration have only the name in common - “registration”, and everything else (terms, registration procedure, grounds and documents) are radically different.

Before applying for registration, you need to decide on the deadlines. Many people think that they are set by legislation and nothing can be changed on their own. In fact, only the minimum and maximum periods are defined, and the specific time is indicated by the applicant during registration.

In this case, it is necessary to obtain the consent of the owner of the housing in which the person will be registered.

Each foreigner who has received permanent resident status will have to go through another formal procedure - register at the place of residence (in the old way - register). This process is not complicated. The main thing is to find an owner (if you don’t have your own home) who is willing to provide the premises for use

. Registration for a residence permit is done within strictly defined deadlines, violation of which may result in a fine.

How is temporary registration completed?

A foreign citizen can obtain temporary registration for a residence permit on the territory of the Russian Federation in one of the following ways (there are two in total):

1. By presenting to the representative of the receiving party an identification document of a foreign citizen (if available) and a residence permit. In this case, copies are made of all necessary documents, and their originals are returned to the owner. Responsibilities for temporary registration of a residence permit are assigned to the receiving party, whose representative must prepare a notification form for the arrival of a foreigner (it can be downloaded from the links provided below); submit a notification of arrival to the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for migration issues or the MFC.
2. By independently contacting the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation with a notification (Part 4 of Article 22 of Federal Law No. 109). The completed notification must be accompanied by:

• a copy of the passport of a citizen of a foreign state;
• a copy of the passport of the person who owns the residential premises serving as the place of registration of the migrant;
• written consent of the owner of the premises to register a migrant there;
• detachable part of the notification of arrival at the previous place of stay (if available).

Documents can be delivered either in person or by post with acknowledgment of delivery.

Registration after receiving a residence permit

The residence permit is revoked if serious crimes are committed on the territory of the Russian Federation (for example, terrorism, etc.). The reason may also be staying abroad for more than 6 months out of 12.

If the owner of a residence permit has not informed the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation about himself for several years, then this is also a good reason for revoking his resident status. A common reason for cancellation is the identification of false information in documents (understated income, fictitious employer, etc.).

Specialists of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia register the migrant. The address can be found via the Internet on a special service of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Online registration is also available there. In this way, it is convenient to obtain permanent or temporary registration for a residence permit in Moscow, without waiting in line at the district department. One person with one set of documents can sign up for several different services on the same day, but for different times.

You cannot be late for your appointment by more than 10 minutes. Otherwise, the appointment will be canceled and the visitor will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Two migrants will not be served with one ticket.

Service employees issue refusals to register for residence permits quite often. Foreigners cannot register in the following cases:

1. No required documents.
2. Errors and corrections in the application.
3. The consent of the owners of the apartment or house where the migrant is registered is not provided. Or not all owners gave permission.

Once all the shortcomings have been corrected and the necessary documents have been collected, you can re-apply for registration.

After obtaining a residence permit or moving into a place of residence, a foreigner needs to register there no later than 7 days. To do this, you need to submit an application to the regional Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (formerly the Federal Migration Service). Department employees are required to review the application and complete registration within 1 day.

If a person wants to become a citizen of the Russian Federation, after receiving a residence permit, how long after can he apply for Russian citizenship? It is legally permitted to submit an application for citizenship 5 years after the immigrant is granted a residence permit. If a spouse who has entered into a marriage with a Russian woman (Russian) wants to obtain citizenship, then it is enough for 3 years to pass from the date of registration of the residence permit.

In addition to the condition of a five-year period of residence, there are several other criteria by which the migration department service evaluates the possibility of granting citizenship to a specific person. Conditions for obtaining status: compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation; knowledge of Russian language; availability of a place of permanent or temporary residence; having a permanent job or other officially confirmed income; absence of socially dangerous diseases.

How to fill out the notification of arrival form at your place of residence

The form of notification of the arrival of a migrant at a place of temporary stay is also approved by the Administrative Regulations approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated November 23, 2017 No. 881 (Appendix No. 3). You can download it from the link.

The document must contain the following information:

• FULL NAME. a person registered at the place of temporary stay;
• his citizenship/nationality;
• Date and place of birth;

• data of legal representatives (if available);

A sample notification form is available here.

Responsibility for failure to comply with registration rules

In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of Art. 18.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, failure by a migrant to fulfill the obligation to register at the place of residence or stay entails the imposition of a fine, the amount of which varies from 2 to 5 thousand rubles. In some cases, authorities may decide to expel the offender from Russia.

A similar violation of the current registration rules, committed on the territory of Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow or Leningrad regions, is punishable by a fine in the amount of 5 to 7 thousand rubles with or without administrative expulsion from the country.
