Expert opinion

Every year, before November 30, the Government of the Russian Federation issues an Order on the allocation of a certain number of quotas for the issuance of temporary residence permits in Russia.

TRP for citizens of Armenia: under quota and outside quota

Unfortunately, despite membership in the EAEU, quotas for obtaining temporary residence permits for citizens of Armenia have been preserved. Armenians, just like all other migrants, must take care to meet the annual limit. It must be said that the government sets annual quotas, the size of which is significantly less than the number of people wishing to obtain a residence permit. Therefore, we almost always recommend an alternative path to our clients, in which quotas will not be taken into account.

Of course, you need to have good reasons for this. In the eyes of Russian migration legislation, these are: the presence of close relatives who are residents of the Russian Federation, participation in the state resettlement program, high professional qualifications, investments in the Russian economy, etc. The experience of legal specialists testifies: if we are talking about obtaining a non-quota temporary residence permit for Armenian citizens, find a suitable one the basis is obtained in 99 cases out of 100.
