Obtaining a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation: advantages, documents, procedure

The acquisition by a foreign citizen of a temporary residence permit on the territory of the Russian Federation does not mean that he can breathe freely from the need to interact with government agencies and go about his own affairs without unnecessary obstacles. Everything is just beginning: the need for work, enrolling a child in school or kindergarten, taking out an insurance policy for free use of the mandatory list of medical services and much more - this is all the little that a foreigner will have to do. However, registration after receiving a temporary residence permit is a priority measure for implementation, since only seven days are allotted for registration from the date of acquisition of the permit. In order for the approved deadline to be met, it is necessary to take care in advance to study the nuances of the procedure: the requested documents, types of registration, features of filling out the application - all this will allow you to avoid unnecessary claims from the migration department.

Registration of a foreign citizen after a temporary residence permit is a procedure as a result of which the migration department records the migrant’s stay on the territory of Russia with a corresponding mark reflected in the person’s passport (or in the temporary residence permit itself, if the applicant is a stateless person).

In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 9, every citizen of another state who has become the owner of a temporary residence permit is obliged, within a week from the date of acquisition of the document, to submit an application to the territorial division of the Main Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which makes the fact of registration a necessary step for further residence in the territory RF.

Important! If this position is ignored, the foreigner may be brought to administrative responsibility under Article 18.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the provisions of which provide for the imposition of a fine, deportation and the implementation of a ban on entry into Russia in the future.

Issuance of residence permits in the Russian Federation (temporary) without taking into account the quota

It is allowed to issue a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation without taking into account the quota if:

• The citizen receiving the permit was born in the RSFSR and was previously a citizen of the USSR, or he has a place of birth in Russia.
• The recipient is disabled and has a capable child - a citizen of the Russian Federation.
• The recipient's spouse has a place of residence in Russia.
• One of the parents of the permit recipient is a disabled citizen of the Russian Federation.
• The recipient was sent to the Russian Federation for military service. In this case, he receives permission to serve in Russia for the duration of his service.
• The recipient is a participant in a state program that facilitates the resettlement of compatriots to the country on a voluntary basis.
• The recipient is an investor who has made an investment in the Russian Federation, and the size of the investment meets the standards established by the Government of the Russian Federation.
• Other cases provided for in the federal law of the Russian Federation.

If no reasons have been identified for issuing a temporary residence permit without taking into account quotas, then registration and issuance are carried out within the framework of the general procedure. The rule is also valid for those citizens whose arrival in Russia took place under a visa-free regime.

What types of registration after temporary residence permit can there be?

Registration after obtaining a temporary residence permit is expressed in two categories: at the place of stay or temporary, at the place of residence or permanent.

The first option is relevant if a migrant has problems finding a suitable property. The place of stay is usually the fact of living with relatives or friends. Despite the fact that it is “temporary”, its duration can be any and is determined by the agreements reached with the person who provided the housing.

The second type involves registration of a foreign citizen in his own apartment or real estate, the right to use which was obtained upon concluding a social tenancy agreement or a rental agreement. The main distinguishing feature from the first option is that it cannot be “closed” due to the expiration of deadlines.

What rights does registration give after a temporary residence permit?

The temporary residence permit itself provides many advantages to a foreigner. He, of course, does not become a full citizen of Russia, but in comparison with other citizens of other states he has the right to count on additional privileges. Registration after temporary residence permit opens up access to new quite significant preferences:

• Possibility of simplified obtaining a job in Russian companies. This right is retained only in the region where the permit was issued. However, if an agreement is reached with the migration service, work is allowed outside of the place of residence.

1. The right to education for minor children. Permanent registration helps with admission to general education institutions or kindergartens as a priority if the request was sent to the organization at the address of residence. Temporary is not so significant, since in this case the applicant is relegated to second place, but the opportunity to study at Russian institutions remains. As a standard, the second option is quite enough to get a place at school. Problems may arise in metropolitan regions if you want to be in prestigious educational institutions.
2. The right to free medical care. Services are provided under the compulsory health insurance system. To obtain it, you must contact your insurance company. Then all that remains is to attach yourself to the nearest clinic.
3. The right to reside and use residential premises legally. Valid until the expiration of the relevant agreement or upon deregistration.
4. Possibility of registering a newborn baby according to the parent’s registration without the mandatory consent of the homeowners.

In addition, other advantages may be taken into account - in this case, the possible advantages may be purely individual.

How to renew registration?

To avoid misunderstandings, it is worth clarifying right away that the temporary residence permit cannot be extended - after the expiration of the three-year validity period, you will have to issue a residence permit for further residence. Otherwise, the foreigner can only leave the territory of Russia.

As for the renewal of registration at the place of residence, there is no need for it, since it is considered permanent. The legislation also does not specify the phenomenon of increasing the period of stay on migration registration at the place of stay, since there are no specific periods of validity for temporary registration - they are determined solely by the agreements reached.

Can they refuse registration?

Regardless of whether permanent or temporary registration under a temporary residence permit is issued, there are a number of reasons why you will be refused:

1. Errors in the application. It’s good if they are identified during the process of filling out the application, then you can immediately rewrite the application and submit the correct version. Otherwise, when a person shows up for documents, he will find that he was refused.
2. Not all documents were provided. The application will not be accepted if the migration service specialist does not see all the required documents.
3. There is no consent of one of the co-owners of the apartment. To register a person, the consent of all co-owners of the property is required, if there are several of them (not registered persons, but co-owners). In practice, migration officials often require that they (or their representatives) be present when the application is submitted. If at least one is missing or he fundamentally does not agree to register a foreigner, he will be refused.

On what grounds can registration under a temporary residence permit be terminated?

The following items can be identified as reasons that can be used for deregistration:

1. Registration elsewhere. It should be taken into account that persons staying in the country with a temporary residence permit are severely limited in their freedom of movement throughout the country and the possibility of employment in other entities other than the region where the temporary residence permit was issued. Therefore, before registering at a new address and before making the move itself, you will need to make sure that the desire is permissible, taking into account the specific circumstances.
2. The foreigner lost the right to use housing on the grounds specified in current legislation. For example, this is relevant due to divorce.
3. A court ruling has come into force, according to which a representative of another state is deprived of a temporary residence permit and, accordingly, the right to stay on the territory of Russia. Cancellation can be carried out in connection with a violation of migration legislation (staying abroad of the Russian Federation for more than six months during the year, moving from region to region without agreement with authorized persons, etc.) or due to ignoring the norms of the criminal and administrative codes (it was discovered that that during registration, forged documents or false information were used, damage was caused to property or health of citizens, etc.);
4. The RVP has expired.
5. By decision of the judicial authorities, registration at the place of residence was recognized as unfounded.
6. In connection with the death of a foreign citizen: actual or recognized by judicial authorities.
7. When identifying signs of fictitious migration registration.
8. Upon receipt of a corresponding application from the migrant himself.

The above list is exhaustive. Deregistration for any other reason may be challenged in formal proceedings.

Important! To implement any of the positions, documentary evidence will be required. If they are absent, you should not even count on initiating the procedure.
