All foreign persons who have visited our country on the basis of a visa or migration card have the opportunity to stay in the Russian Federation for no more than 90 days. If a person plans to stay for a period exceeding the specified period, he needs to obtain a temporary residence permit. The only exception is cases when an individual has arrived for the purpose of employment and has the appropriate permission.
Thus, a temporary residence permit is a state permit granting a citizen of another country the right to stay in the territory of Russia until the moment of obtaining the corresponding citizenship or residence permit. Usually this document is issued for a period of three years. In addition, it is the basis for registration, which greatly facilitates the life of a foreigner, as regular checks are carried out on the subject of legality of stay in the country.
The basis for obtaining permission is considered the existence of family ties with citizens of the Russian Federation. Close relatives include, for example, a husband or wife. If there is no good reason, but the document is still needed, then luck, called the quota, takes effect. The government annually sets a quota, that is, the maximum number of permits that a state body can issue. In any case, a foreign citizen should be prepared for the fact that the registration procedure will take quite a long time and require iron patience.
So, a temporary residence permit in Russia cannot be obtained without a certificate of a complete medical examination. You will have to pass a lot of tests in various medical institutions, which undoubtedly include the leather, drug, and TB dispensary. Based on the results of the analyzes, the health department issues a final opinion. It is worth considering that often it can be obtained only at certain hours and only on one day of the week. You need to apply only to medical centers located in your administrative district, otherwise there is a possibility that your certificates will not be accepted.
A temporary residence permit is granted by the federal migration service, where a foreign citizen applies with a corresponding application and a full package of documents. It is recommended that you make an appointment with this government agency in advance in order to avoid long queues and exhausting expectations. It is also mandatory to pay the state fee, which is a kind of payment for the services of the FMS. The amount of the fee usually does not exceed 1000 rubles. On the day of the inspector’s appointment, which was appointed to you, you need to have a copy of your passport with it translated, certified by a notary, a medical certificate, a check on the payment of the fee. And of course, you will need documents proving close relationship or the presence of other grounds for obtaining a document.
After the above manipulations, we can only wait. If the outcome is positive, you can obtain a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation after a maximum of three months (it is at this time that the application is considered by the migration service). Then you can feel free to contact the passport office at the place of residence and apply for registration. In fact, a temporary residence permit is an ordinary stamp in the alien's passport, but it will take a lot of effort to do it.
