Confirmation of residence under a residence permit in 2021

The need for notifications regarding residence permits and fines

The residence permit is valid for 5 years. Upon receipt, the foreigner is warned of the need to regularly confirm his place of residence and permanent income. Upon expiration of the permitted period, it is necessary to renew the residence permit or request citizenship. The purpose of the notification is to inform the authorities about the intention to continue living in the Russian Federation.

The information provided by the migrant also indicates the time of his stay in another state. If such periods are longer than in the Russian Federation, suspicions arise that a person has received privileges from two states at once.

Notification of confirmation of residence in the Russian Federation under a residence permit. A report with documents is submitted annually. If a foreign citizen evades this obligation, the violator is subject to sanctions provided for in Art. 18.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation in the form of fines:

For regions and cities of federal significance (Moscow and Moscow Region, St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region) – 5–7 thousand rubles;
Other regions and settlements – 2–5 thousand rubles;
Repeated violation within a year, respectively 7-10 and 5-7 thousand rubles.

Attention! Fines may be accompanied by administrative expulsion from the country. The hard-won residence permit certificate is cancelled.

Hotel check-in

Initially, when a citizen of another country crosses the border, he is obliged to register within 7 days, that is, to formalize migration registration, which will subsequently serve as the basis for obtaining a temporary residence permit / temporary residence permit in the country.

A foreign citizen is required to register within 7 days

Most often, citizens of other countries register in the living area of the host country.

On July 8, 2021, Federal Law No. 163 of June 27, 2018 came into force, which states that a foreign citizen cannot register for migration at the place of employment, and also clarifies the definition of “receiving party.” You can download the new law here.

But it happens that foreigners stay in hotels. According to the law, if a resident of another country arrives in Russia and stays at a hotel, he is also required to register.

But it should be remembered that the registration procedure for a guest staying at a hotel is somewhat different. The hotel administrator is obliged to notify the territorial body of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs about the arrival of a resident of another country within 24 hours.

An application confirming the arrival of a foreigner is filled out in 2 copies, one of which remains with the Administration of the hotel complex for one year. After notification, the hotel administration is obliged to put a stamp on the tear-off part as a sign of confirmation of the foreign guest’s stay at the hotel.

If a resident of another state has been living in a hotel for more than a year on the basis of a temporary residence permit, then he also undertakes to notify the migration service about this within a 2-month period from the expiration of the temporary temporary residence permit.

List and receipt of supporting documents

Informing government agencies about the activities and movements of a foreigner is carried out on the basis of the evidence provided by the migrant. They are attached to the notice and handed over to the inspector.

The full list includes the following documents to confirm a residence permit:

An application in Russian in the form established by law is a form of two halves: the smaller detachable part remains in the hands of the migrant and serves as confirmation of delivery of the notification application. The second part is transferred to the local authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - you can also get a blank form there to fill out. Another option is to draw up a notification in electronic form and send documents through the State Services website. In addition to the information contained in the citizen’s foreign passport and his residence permit, the application includes data regarding the place of work and position, average earnings, periods of stay outside the Russian Federation;
Certificate 2-NDFL - it will confirm the income of a foreigner and testify that the person did not leave the Russian Federation for a long time. Or another document indicating a salary above the subsistence level. Instead of Form 2, you can use the annual 3-NDFL - both tax payment certificates will be issued by the accounting department at the migrant’s place of work. Other documents confirming income: personal account statement - issued by a financial institution; income from your own business, from the rental of premises and other property, confirmed by relevant agreements, acts, orders for the payment of taxes;

Dependency confirmation

Lack of work, sources of income from deposits, business, or rental housing in some cases does not become an obstacle to proving means of living. If a foreign person in the Russian Federation is dependent on a Russian relative or other person, you can provide a certificate of the sponsor’s income.

The average monthly income, in this case, is divided into at least two people (a dependent and an able-bodied person). Accordingly, if a sponsor earns 20 thousand rubles, and the cost of living in the region is 15 thousand rubles, then the income will be considered insufficient and a refusal to issue a residence permit will follow.

Regulations for submitting a confirmation application

Confirmation of a residence permit is carried out according to the rules set out in the Federal Law on the Status of Foreigners FZ-115-2002 and Government Decree 21-2007. They establish the procedure for applications, deadlines for delivery and consideration of applications.

Each migrant who has issued a residence permit sends an annual notification. Parents do this for minor children.

There are three ways to apply:

Personal visit to the migration service office, presenting the inspector with a package of prepared documents. A compulsory health insurance employee checks the correctness of completion and puts a mark on the return part of the notification indicating acceptance of the papers for consideration. This form will confirm that the foreigner has fulfilled the annual obligation;
By mail - the operator returns the detachable part of the notification to the applicant, having previously made a note and affixed a stamp;
By submitting a package of documents to an MFC employee.

Confirmation is also possible using electronic communication means, if a particular compulsory health insurance has such a technical capability. In the same way, through the State Services portal, you can make an appointment with an inspector of the regional department of migration service. It is possible to provide documents through an intermediary under a notarized power of attorney.

The legislation does not establish a specific deadline for submitting a notification. The exact definition is annually. But upon receipt of a residence permit, the compulsory medical insurance office sets an exact date for submitting the confirmation.

Recommendation from specialists: confirmation of activity under a residence permit is allowed within 2 months after the end of the calendar year. If the certificate was received on April 1, 2021, then it is better to issue confirmation before April 1, 2021. In this case, the final date is June 1, and you can submit a notification 10 days before it occurs.

Procedure and methods for submitting notification

There are not many options to notify the migration department. The only clarification is that every fifth notification a migrant must complete in person, i.e. Sending documents via mail or electronic services is unacceptable.

The procedure does not provide for the payment of state fees or other types of payments for the conduct of events by employees of the migration department of the police.

Below are the delivery options for your official paper package. This makes it possible for a foreign guest to choose a method that is convenient for him.

In the Ministry of Internal Affairs

One of the most reliable ways to report your stay under a residence permit to the state. The instructions in this case read:

Make an appointment at the department of the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the area of registration or actual residence.
Visit the government agency at the appointed time.
Submit the completed notification form and attach all documents to it.
Next, the inspector conducts an inspection.
After successful verification, the specialist signs the form.
To confirm acceptance of the documents, the inspector will issue a detachable part with his signature. The “stub” will be needed if there is a failure in the database.

This method involves a personal visit by a foreigner to a government department.

Several points are taken into account:

if a person has not changed his place of residence after receiving a residence permit, then his notification will be in the department where he previously received the document;
non-residents of the Russian Federation who have changed their place of residence have the right to submit a confirmation form at the branch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the new place of registration;
Persons registered for migration put a mark in the migration authority at their place of residence.

Online

Based on Government Decree No. 21 dated January 17, 2007, as amended on January 7, 2020, notification documents can be submitted through the public services portal. For the procedure, you will need all documents and a strong electronic signature.

Electronic copies of official papers are attached to the form on the website.

Application processing takes up to 1 business day. If the workload is light, confirmation will arrive within 2 hours.

Features of paying state duty

When obtaining a residence permit, foreign citizens are charged a state fee. This norm is prescribed in the Tax Code - subparagraph 18 of Art. 333.28-1.

The payment amount is uniform - 3500 rubles, established in two cases:

Obtaining status;
Residence permit extension.

The fee for notification of confirmation of the desire to become a citizen of the Russian Federation is not provided for by law. But cases of erroneous payment of state duty sometimes occur. You can get your money back by writing an application to the treasury.

The following must be attached to the application:

Original receipt;
A copy of your passport;
Details of the paying citizen.

Based on these documents, a reverse transfer of money will be made.

Procedure and terms for consideration of an appeal

If the notification is accepted by a postal employee, he checks the compliance of the data entered with the foreigner’s identity card and residence permit. In all cases, the documents are received by the compulsory medical insurance office at the place where the residence permit was obtained.

The inspector checks the papers for:

The correctness of the notification;
Correct filling;
Availability of all attached documents from the list.

Acceptance of the application is confirmed by the mark of a postal employee, MFC or compulsory medical insurance inspector on a tear-off coupon that remains with the foreign citizen. After the check is completed and if there are no comments, a mark of execution is placed in the electronic database of the migration service. The maximum period established by law for this procedure is 60 days from the date of receipt of the application. In practice, the verification is carried out in 1–2 weeks.

Notification of the decision is sent to the applicant no later than 3 days from the date of the event.

Residence permit confirmation period

Confirmation of residence with a residence permit 2021. The validity period of this document is 5 years, and after its expiration, the migrant already has the right to declare himself as a candidate for acquiring Russian citizenship, or to extend the current residence permit status for another five-year period. However, every year, during these 5 years, the visitor is obliged to confirm his status by notifying the FMS services of his residence at the address indicated in the documents on the territory of our country.

Residence permit document

In large cities where additional services of the Federal Migration Service have been developed, most often, department employees independently notify the foreigner in advance about the expiration of his residence permit status and the need to go through the confirmation procedure. This happens by sending letters to postal addresses that match the registration data on temporary registration. However, you should not rely on a reminder, since changes in procedures may occur in the government structure, and it is better for the interested person to independently monitor the deadline for fulfilling the legal requirement.

Important! A confirmation period of 1 year is required, but lax adherence to it does not lead to imminent deportation, since the law states that this document must be submitted no later than two months before the end of the current year. This means that if a visitor received his residence permit in May 2021, in May, but did not have time to confirm it in 2021, he has time to complete this action until November of the same year. However, there is no point in tempting fate, and a migrant should make it a rule to come to the migration service exactly once a year and go through the procedure.

Reasons for refusing to accept papers

In cases where you complete the documents yourself and fill out the notification, the package is often returned to the contractor. It is necessary to correct the comments and send the appeal again.

Common reasons for refusal to accept documents:

Illiterately presented text, abbreviations and abbreviations;
Errors and typos, corrections and blots;
Failure to fill out required fields, indicating false information in them;
Absence of any document;
Insufficient financial security or loss of legal employment;
Deliberate concealment of some events of the year, distortion of personal data.

The migrant is informed immediately that the package of papers is rejected. A citizen has the right to request notice of refusal in writing. The foreigner’s reluctance to re-fill out and submit the notification to the compulsory medical insurance will lead to deprivation of the residence permit.

The procedure for confirming a residence permit is simple for migrants permanently residing in Russia. Attentiveness to collecting the necessary documents and filling out the application is the key to ensuring that fulfilling your civic duty will not take much time.
