Permission for temporary residence: how to get it?

All foreign persons who have visited our country on the basis of a visa or migration card have the opportunity to stay on the territory of the Russian Federation for not more than 90 days. If a person plans to stay for a period longer than the specified period, he must obtain a temporary residence permit. The only exception is cases where an individual has arrived with the purpose of employment and has the appropriate permission.

Thus, a temporary residence permit is a state authorization granting a citizen of another country the right to stay in the territory of Russia until the moment of obtaining the relevant citizenship or residence permit. Usually this document is issued for a period of three years. In addition, it is the basis for registering, which greatly facilitates the life of the foreigner, since regular checks are carried out for the legality of stay in the country.

The basis for obtaining permission is the existence of family ties with Russian citizens. Among close relatives is, for example, a husband or wife. If there are no good reasons, but a document is still needed, then luck comes into effect, called a quota. The government annually establishes a quota, that is, the maximum number of permits a government agency 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 will require iron patience.

So, permission for temporary residence in Russia can not be obtained without a certificate of full medical examination. We will have to pass a lot of tests in various medical institutions, which, undoubtedly, include a skin, drug, and anti-TB dispensary. Based on the results of the analysis, the health department issues the final conclusion. It should be noted that often it can be obtained only at certain times and only one day of the week. You need to contact only the medical centers located in your administrative district, otherwise there is a chance that your references will not be accepted.

The permit for temporary residence is provided by the Federal Migration Service, where the foreign citizen applies with the appropriate application and a full package of documents. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance to this state body in advance, in order to avoid long hours of waiting and exhausting waiting. Also, it is mandatory to pay a state fee, which is a kind of payment for FMS services. The fee usually does not exceed 1000 rubles. On the day of reception of the inspector, who was appointed to you, you need to have a copy of your passport with his translation, certified by a notary, a medical certificate, a check on payment of the fee. And, of course, you will need documents confirming close kinship or other grounds for obtaining the document.

After the above manipulations it remains only to wait. If the outcome is positive, you can obtain a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation after a maximum of three months (this is the time for the application to be considered by the migration service). Then you can safely apply to the passport office at your place of residence and register. In fact, a temporary residence permit is an ordinary stamp in the passport of an alien, but for the sake of it you will have to make a lot of efforts.
