General characteristics of the resettlement program

The resettlement program was developed with the goal of returning compatriots to Russia. Its participants receive an advantage over foreign citizens who have not previously resided in the territory of the Russian Federation (USSR) in terms of obtaining Russian citizenship.

By returning compatriots, the program developers planned to improve the demographic situation in the country, as well as fill the lack of qualified specialists. In this regard, participants are entitled to additional privileges from the Russian Government.

Persons eligible to participate in the resettlement program

Compatriots eligible to take part in the program are:

2. Persons who were citizens of the Soviet Union and the RSFSR. Soviet people who refused to become citizens of the Russian Federation upon resettlement.
3. Foreigners who have ever had Russian citizenship.

Typical mistakes when drawing up an application for a temporary residence permit under the resettlement program

When drawing up an application for a temporary residence permit under the resettlement program, the applicant can make 3 common mistakes that will cause a refusal to issue a permit.

Error 1.

The applicant did not provide a list of attached documents.

This is not a blunder. But, if questions arise regarding the absence of any papers, the applicant will not be able to prove the fact that he provided the missing document.

Error 2.

The applicant's Soviet passport contains his full name. After obtaining foreign citizenship, the patronymic name is not indicated in the document. However, when filling out the application, the applicant indicated his full name, as in the USSR passport.

The application must be completed using valid documents only. In this case, you will have to rewrite the application, otherwise an employee of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will refuse to issue a permit.

Error 3.

The applicant listed the positions he held over the past 5 years only according to official data, without taking into account work carried out without a contract.

It is impossible to verify information about unofficial places of work, so an employee of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be able to reject the application. However, listing all professional skills is necessary to increase the chances of a positive decision in issuing a permit.

Filling out an application

The application is an important component of the entire package of documents. Incorrect or careless filling may result in refusal. You will have to collect the papers and submit them again. You can find a sample application on the FMS website or pick it up at the branch. Since the program for resettling compatriots in 2021 is the same, the participation form and list of required documents are also the same.

The form requires you to answer a number of questions, indicating:

1. All data: full name, date and place of birth, passport details, marital status, information about work and education, etc.
2. Information about family members.
3. Information about your last place of residence.
4. Reasons for moving and purpose of stay in Russia.
5. Selected region and reason.
6. Information about military service.
7. Availability of a criminal record, whether there was criminal liability.
8. Some other information.

All answers must be accurate, without errors or blots. The information must be provided completely, but briefly, without unnecessary information if not required. For example, the reason for divorce or death of a spouse is not required. If there is no answer (for example, there is no spouse), you need to write “no.” You cannot leave empty lines.

Some points on the form are worth paying attention to:

1. No. 3 - if the applicant does not have a middle name, it is not indicated.
2. No. 15−16 - it is necessary to list all places of work (unofficial ones too) and positions.
3. No. 18 - lists all trips to Russia and information about them (dates, purpose). If the border was simply crossed, for example, while traveling by train to another country, this is not indicated.
4. #30 – It is important to provide information that will help the family show themselves in the best light.
5. No. 31 - all contacts are indicated to simplify communication.
6. The date of the application, not its submission, is indicated at the bottom.

Answers to frequently asked questions

Question:

I submitted documents to participate in the program for the resettlement of compatriots to Russia. An official of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that the papers lacked a receipt for payment of the state duty. According to the law, compatriots who decide to move to Russia are exempt from paying state duty. Why did the department employee request a receipt?

Answer:

Indeed, participants in the resettlement program are exempt from paying state fees for obtaining a temporary residence permit. However, when submitting an application for participation in the program itself, a fee must be paid in the amount of 1,600 rubles. for each family member.

When submitting my application, I did not provide a medical certificate confirming the absence of diseases that pose a danger to others. An employee of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs accepted the documents with the condition of subsequently presenting a certificate.

Answer:

The certificate is provided within 30 days after registration of the application.
