New regulations on the provision of government services for issuing temporary residence permits and temporary residence permits

Advantages and disadvantages of RWP

Many arriving foreigners do not know that instead of a work patent, it is easier and more profitable to obtain a temporary residence permit. Having this document has pros and cons

RVP: serious restrictions and short validity period

A temporary residence permit is issued in the following situations:

• when a migrant, for some reason, needs to live in the Russian Federation for several years;
• when a citizen of another country wants to obtain a residence permit in Russia, which in many situations requires a temporary residence permit.

A permit is not some kind of document or certificate. It is a mark (stamp) that is affixed to the national or foreign passport of a foreigner. A special document on obtaining permission is issued only to stateless people, due to their lack of a passport.

This is what the RVP stamp looks like in your passport

The status of a temporary resident is valid for 3 years . It is impossible to extend it. People who do not plan to stay in the Russian state for a long time must leave the country after this period. In the future, they can try again to get permission.

If a person wants Russia to become his place of permanent residence, then, having become the holder of a temporary residence permit, he should take care in advance of the next stage - obtaining a residence permit.

A person from another state temporarily residing in the Russian Federation is subject to a number of obligations. The main thing is that the foreigner is strictly tied to the region and area in which he was issued a temporary residence permit. He cannot voluntarily go to live in another region or get a job in another city, which, of course, greatly limits his possibilities.

Briefly about the mechanism for issuing temporary residence permits

Obtaining a temporary residence permit can be carried out in the general manner according to the quota system or without taking them into account.

The quota is formed by the state annually at the end of November and distributed among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Quotas are established taking into account the migration situation and economic condition of each region. When the possible number of issued temporary residence permits is exhausted, their registration is suspended.

The law specifies the range of applicants who can apply for a permit on preferential terms (without quotas). These include:

• persons born in the Russian Federation;
• persons born in the RSFSR and having USSR citizenship;
• children with incapacitated parents of citizens of the Russian Federation (pensioners);
• persons married to a Russian citizen;
• investors;
• military personnel;
• parents whose child is a citizen of the Russian Federation;
• voluntary migrants to the Russian Federation;
• citizens of Ukraine and stateless persons with permanent residence in this country.

Quotas in 2021

In 2021, the number of allocated quotas in the Russian Federation is 90,360 units for all federal districts (in 2021 there were 10 thousand more):

Compared to the previous year, in 2021 the number has not changed for such entities as: Moscow (2000 units), St. Petersburg (1500 units), Kaliningrad region (4000 units).

How to get a quota

To allocate a quota to a migrant, the following documents (originals and their photocopies) are prepared:

• application of the established form;
• passport and its translation, certified by a notary;
• notification at the place of stay;
• migration card.

Review of the application takes about a month.

Documents for temporary residence permit

The documents listed below are submitted to the migration service of the region where temporary residence is intended:

• application of the corresponding sample (Appendix No. 3) - 2 copies (download here, sample filling - here);
• national/foreign passport, valid for at least six months;

Sample migration card

Almost the same set of documents is being prepared for children. The difference lies in the form of the application, in this case it is Appendix No. 4. They are exempt from mandatory confirmation of language knowledge, as well as in the field of history and legal foundations of the Russian Federation.

For migrants receiving a temporary residence permit without a quota, documents are collected, as well as for citizens who were allocated a quota. A special feature is the submission of paper confirming benefits, for example, a marriage certificate concluded with a citizen of the Russian Federation, a migrant certificate, a birth certificate.

RVP - a stamp in the migrant’s passport or a separate A4 form for stateless persons. Every migrant who has written an application to the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the right to receive a permit stamp on a separate form.

Documents are reviewed for six months. For visa-free countries, for example Ukraine, the period is shorter and is 60 days.

The law provides for migrants from Turkmenistan, Belarus, native Russian speakers and highly qualified specialists to obtain the status of a residence permit, bypassing the receipt of a temporary residence permit.

How can a temporary resident citizen obtain a residence permit?

A temporary residence permit in most cases is the first step, followed by obtaining a residence permit and then a Russian passport.

However, some foreigners can skip the first step and immediately obtain a residence permit. This simplification is available:

• people whom the state has recognized as native speakers of the Russian language. For this category of citizens, a residence permit is issued only for three years, after which it is necessary to obtain citizenship;
• citizens of the Republic of Belarus;
• migrants working in Russia by invitation and recognized as highly qualified specialists;
• those who were born in the RSFSR. But there is a condition here - it is necessary that the applicant also had Soviet citizenship in the past;
• visitors who have close Russian relatives living in Russia. You can apply immediately for a residence permit if you have Russian parents, a son or daughter. The age of the relative does not matter;
• citizens who have studied full-time at a higher educational institution located in Russia. The basis applies only to those who graduated from a university with honors;
• specialists who, at the time of obtaining a residence permit, have already been working in a profession from the list for six months, provided that during this entire period the employer made deductions required by law;
• applicants who have lost their Russian citizenship;
• some stateless persons.

Registration at place of residence

Registration at the place of intended residence is a stage that is carried out both in one’s own living space and in the housing of relatives and friends with their consent or in a rented apartment.

Re-registration

If a temporary residence permit has been issued, but there is a need to move to another region, re-registration is carried out. It is necessary to contact two bodies of the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration: first, to the service at the place of “departure”, de-registration there, then submit documents for new registration at the place of “arrival”.

The period for consideration of a case on re-registration of a temporary residence permit is up to 2 months.

The following documents are required:

• migrant's national passport with a temporary residence permit stamp and registration;
• document confirming re-registration.

For example, a person has received a temporary residence permit and is registered in Rostov, but expresses a desire to move to live and work in Moscow. Then he must submit a document on the ownership of housing in Moscow or a notarized consent of all owners for registration in their Moscow living space.

Where does it say the amount of duty?

The amount of the duty is set by the state, the amount is specified in the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, namely in Article 332.28 (clause 22).

Accordingly, the exact amount specified in the legislative act is paid. It can only change if appropriate amendments are made to the Tax Code.

Foreigners receiving a temporary residence permit are often interested in how much the state duty costs, depending on which country the migrant comes from.

The service costs the same for everyone. It doesn’t matter whether you come from a visa-free or visa-free country, are issued under a quota or simplified procedure, are an adult or a minor - in all cases you pay 1,600 rubles.

Notice of residence in the Russian Federation

Migrants must annually confirm their residence in the Russian Federation. This is done in person or by post.

To do this you need:

• passport;
• income document;
• standard notification.

RVP for Ukrainians after VU and State program

The authorities of the Russian Federation decided to accept these citizens on their territory in connection with the events of 2014. First, Ukrainians apply for temporary asylum, then become displaced and then receive temporary residence permits on preferential terms. The time for reviewing and verifying information is 2 months.

The documents in such cases are the following (originals, copies, translations):

• certificate of temporary asylum, valid for at least six months;
• national passport and translation, which is certified by a notary (all pages);
• migrant certificate;
• application of the appropriate sample – 2 copies;
• marriage certificate;
• tear-off coupon for migration registration;
• migration card;
• state duty;
• photo – 2 pcs.

Ukrainian citizens, for the most part, stopped living and working in Russia: in Rostov, Volgograd, Belgorod, Voronezh. They were selected to participate in the State Program for the Resettlement of Compatriots, and also because these are adjacent cities to the Ukrainian border.
