After the collapse of the USSR, a large number of people remained outside Russia who, in addition to blood ties, also had cultural, emotional and intellectual commonality with the Russians. In addition, the standard of living in Russia is quite high, which attracts citizens of countries that were not part of the USSR. Both are eager to come to the Russian Federation: some come for a while, others plan to stay forever. In any case, the first stage of legalization is obtaining a temporary residence permit (TRP). To facilitate this process, the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (formerly the Federal Migration Service) has opened an online registration for obtaining a temporary residence permit.
Advantages of online registration
Obtaining any services from government agencies has always previously been associated with a huge expenditure of time and nerves. Those who have encountered queues at the migration service can tell you about making an appointment and daily roll calls at six o’clock in the morning. People not included in these lists later tried to organize a live queue. All this caused a huge number of scandals and quarrels. In addition, the line was moving slowly, and it was dangerous to move away - you could lose it. Only people with a very strong psyche could withstand all this.
A live queue for obtaining a temporary residence permit with all the above-described shortcomings still exists, but the development of computer technology and concern for the convenience of citizens has led to the appearance of an electronic entry for temporary residence permit. Now there is no need to go to the migration service building early in the morning, register with activists, and then return to the beginning of the work of this office.
Everything can be done in any place convenient for you: at home, at work, in an Internet cafe or even just a cafe. The main thing is to have a computer connected to the Internet at hand. When registering online, you do not receive a number in an endless queue, but a completely specific date and time of reception.
In addition, you have a priority position compared to others. If you have chosen a specific service, provided reliable information about yourself and have an identification document with you, then, according to the rules specified on the State Services website, migration service employees must accept you first. Below we will tell you how to sign up to submit documents for a temporary residence permit via the Internet.

Submitting an application through the State Services portal
The question of what a temporary residence permit gives to a foreign citizen in the Russian Federation remains relevant, since there are often cases when a person does not understand the need for its registration. At first - namely, within 90 days - a foreigner and his family members can actually stay on the territory of Russia without a temporary residence permit, without experiencing problems. But after this period, the status of a temporarily arrived citizen initially received by the foreigner is lost, and his further stay in the country presupposes a transition to a new status or the need to leave it.
And if a foreign citizen plans to stay in the Russian Federation, then registration of a temporary residence permit is the first stage in obtaining citizenship of our country for him and his family. The algorithm for submitting an application for a temporary residence permit on the State Services portal is as follows.
