Temporary residence permit in Russia

What is RVP and what is it for?

A temporary residence permit is a permit that allows foreign citizens to temporarily reside in Russia. Issued for 3 years, non-renewable, and allows you to stay in the Russian Federation for the entire period of its validity, and also gives the right to work in Russia without a patent or work permit. A temporary residence permit in Crimea can be obtained on the basis of a migration card. When a foreign citizen crosses the border, a migration card is issued for him.

The temporary residence permit is valid for three years.

A temporary residence permit gives a foreign citizen the right to temporarily reside and work in Russia. Thus, it allows a foreigner to legally stay on the territory of the Russian Federation until receiving a residence permit or citizenship.

​How to immigrate to Belarus for Russians, what gives a residence permit

In order to travel to Belarus, an adult Russian only needs a passport, no matter whether it is domestic or foreign. And for children under 14 years of age, a birth certificate is sufficient. For a month (30 days), Russian citizens can live and even work on Belarusian soil without registering. In addition, there is an agreement between our countries according to which permanent work will not require obtaining a patent or any other permit.

Belarus is a European-style clean and calm country

But if you plan to settle in Belarus for a long time, have found a decent job, decided to get housing, entered into a marriage with a local resident, you will have to legalize your stay. It is not difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain permits.

First, you should obtain a document permitting residence (stay) within the borders of Belarus. It is, in essence, the registration of a foreigner in the republic. To obtain permission, you must contact the migration department of the internal affairs bodies (OVD) where you live. To receive the document, collect the necessary papers:

• personal statement requesting permission;
• short autobiography;
• Russian or foreign passport;
• 4 photographs 4x5 cm;
• a certificate from your home country stating that you have no criminal record;
• documents that indicate the reasons for permission;
• registration mark, which proves the legality of being on the territory of Belarus;
• medical certificate stating the absence of socially dangerous diseases (HIV, sexually transmitted diseases);
• confirmation of the right to use housing (a tenancy agreement, it must be concluded even with distant relatives, or documents on close family ties, this applies to living with spouses, parents or children);
• receipt of payment of state duty.

According to the law, migration service employees can consider an application for a residence permit for up to 6 months. But for Russian citizens this period is much shorter. Having received a permit, a Russian has the right to stay in Belarus for another 2 months. If he intends to continue to remain on the territory of the republic, he must apply for a residence permit, a document that practically equalizes a foreigner with the native residents.

A residence permit replaces a passport for a foreigner and gives most of the rights of a citizen

Who should apply for a residence permit and why?

According to Belarusian legislation, all foreigners staying in the country for more than 90 days per calendar year must obtain a residence permit (RP). The document is issued to citizens of other states if they:

• over 16 years old;
• We have already issued documents permitting temporary residence.

A residence permit is not just a mark or certificate, but a full-fledged document with the country’s coat of arms on the cover and personal data in it, replacing an internal passport. And this status gives a foreign citizen the right to live in Belarus for a long time, use free medical care, social support, get an education, work and engage in entrepreneurial activity. A foreigner who has received a residence permit is endowed with the rights and responsibilities of a citizen of Belarus. The only restriction is that he will not be able to take part in the election process. And also not obliged to serve in the army.

Immigrant or emigrant: is there a difference?

The words “immigration” and “emigration” are often confused, replacing one with the other. But it's not difficult to understand the difference. Both are derived from the same thing - “migration”, in Latin migro means movement or resettlement. Prefixes (or prefixes) give this movement a certain direction: im is translated as a movement inward of something, e is a desire to outward.

A person who leaves his homeland becomes an emigrant for it, and he immigrates to another country

It turns out that immigration is entry into the country, and emigration is exit. A Russian who leaves his homeland emigrates from Russia. He, having asked for a residence permit or citizenship in another country, becomes an immigrant for the local authorities. Therefore, about a Russian who wants to settle down on Belarusian soil, it would be correct to say: he emigrated from Russia, but immigrated to Belarus.

Which Ukrainians can count on a temporary residence permit in Crimea?

Obtaining a temporary residence permit in Crimea follows the same procedure as in any other Russian region:

• according to quota;
• without her.

Every year, the Russian government sets certain limits on the assignment of temporary status. All of them are distributed by region taking into account the demographic situation, economic development and population density. So, let’s say, the Crimean peninsula in 2021 can accept no more than 1,900 foreigners. At the same time, quotas for temporary residence permits for citizens of Ukraine for 2021 in Crimea are not established according to any separate rules. And this means only one thing - when the limit is exhausted, the acceptance of applications, including from Ukrainians, will be stopped until next year.

It is easier to obtain a temporary residence permit for citizens who have reasons to do so without a quota. The reasons may be:

1. The person was born in the USSR or on Russian territory.
2. People who were declared incompetent, despite the fact that their children live in Crimea.
3. Citizens whose adult children have Russian citizenship and need guardianship because they have been declared incompetent.
4. People from Ukraine who invest in the Russian Federation. The amount of investment is set separately.
5. Citizens entering military service.
6. Children under 18 years of age are allowed to live with their parents.
7. Other cases provided by the state.

Violation of the stay regime entails a fine in accordance with Art. 18.8 Code of Administrative Offences. Sanctions in the form of a fine are applied simultaneously with or without administrative expulsion.

Where to contact

To register a temporary residence permit in Crimea, you must contact the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. An application for assignment of the appropriate status is submitted to the territorial Crimean authority. The temporary residence permit restricts the actions and rights of people who emigrated to the peninsula. They will be able to live and study only in Crimea, and not in any other region of the Russian Federation. If a person wants to move to another Russian region, he will be required to provide serious justification for this decision.

Thus, before contacting an authorized authority, you must carefully weigh the pros and cons of living in the chosen region.

After registering a temporary residence permit, if its owner suddenly wants to move to another region, it will be necessary to prove that he has serious reasons to do so.

List of documents

If the documents are drawn up in accordance with one of the above circumstances, then you will need a supporting document, for example, a paper establishing relationship. A response to the decision must be received no later than two months. If the result is negative, then a second application can be submitted only after a year has passed.

In different cases, the package of documents may be supplemented with other documents. For example, for visa countries you will also need a certificate of no criminal record.

Application for provision of temporary residence permit

To obtain a temporary residence permit, you will need to provide documents, a list of which can be obtained from the territorial office of the Main Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or on the official website of the migration service.

• Comply with the residence requirement at the place of registration.
• Undergo annual registration with the territorial body of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at the place of residence in order to confirm the status received.
• Confirm annually income in the amount of the subsistence minimum per person and confirmed dependents living with them in the territory of the Russian Federation. The subsistence minimum is determined based on the amount established in the region of migration registration.
• Stay in the country within the prescribed period. A foreign citizen who has a temporary residence permit has the right to freely cross the territory of the country. If you are absent from the Russian Federation for more than six months, the temporary residence permit may be cancelled.

A temporary residence permit may be granted again at the request of a person.

Is it possible to extend the temporary residence permit?

Visitors from abroad who temporarily entered the Russian Federation legally do not have to worry about their status for only three years. This is the duration of recognition of their permit document (Federal Law of July 25, 2002 N 115-FZ “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”, Article 6).

Migrants arriving in the Russian Federation fill out a migration card when crossing the border, which is the basis for staying on our territory for some time. The further existence of a foreigner on the territory of the Russian Federation is regulated by the 115th federal normative act. This law also applies to those who have the right to temporary residence. Article No. 6 directly points to this.

As you can see, there is no automatic extension of the temporary residence permit.

Reasons for cancellation

The most common reasons for cancellation of a temporary residence permit in Russia:

• A temporary residence permit may be revoked if a foreign citizen has been outside the Russian Federation for too long. In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, foreigners with a temporary residence permit can travel outside the Russian Federation for no more than 180 days per year from the date of issue of the temporary residence permit. If a foreigner stays outside the borders of the Russian Federation even for 1 day longer than required, his temporary residence permit will be revoked.
• Cancellation of a temporary residence permit for a foreign citizen awaits if he lives and works in a region other than the one where the document was received. That is, for example, if a foreigner lives and works in St. Petersburg, and a temporary residence permit was issued in Moscow, he will face cancellation of his temporary residence permit in Russia.
• A temporary residence permit can also be canceled if a foreign citizen has not submitted an annual notification of confirmation of residence under a temporary residence permit or has violated the submission deadlines.

Important!

A foreigner can change his place of residence upon request to the FMS, where he will need to submit an application indicating the reason for the change of residence.

If you have a Russian husband/wife, then you are open to applying for a permit without a quota place. That is, you immediately bring the application and the necessary papers to the migration department.

Filing by marriage has its own characteristics:

• The spouse must have permanent registration in Russia.
• And the most interesting thing is that registration takes place only in the entity in which the Russian husband/wife has permanent registration. That is, if you live with your Russian husband in St. Petersburg, but he is registered in Penza, then you will submit documents for status in Penza. In the future, you will need to reside there with a permit and find employment.
