The program "Resettlement of Compatriots." Program of resettlement of compatriots to Russia

The Russian program "Resettlement of compatriots" is one of the most important directions for improving the migration policy of the Russian Federation. It was created to assist in the voluntary resettlement to Russia of persons living abroad. This project was launched five years ago, its implementation is due to expire in 2014.

Requirements for potential migrants

The state program for the resettlement of compatriots in 2014 has undergone some changes. Many regions of Russia, participating in the project, made significant amendments to its regulations. Conditions and terms of registration of citizenship for immigrants have changed. So, from this year, before submitting documents, a citizen of a foreign country must live in the territory of the selected region for at least a year, having a residence permit.

In addition, he must work and have an official confirmation of income for this period. The new conditions do not allow a participant to obtain citizenship in a region in which he does not reside. For this reason, the program "Resettlement of Compatriots" is not relevant for those who want to register Russian citizenship under a simplified procedure and after changing their place of residence.

The essence of the project

The program of voluntary resettlement of compatriots is needed to improve the demographic situation and socio-economic development in strategically important regions of Russia and to increase the number of able-bodied people. If you were born in the territory of one of the countries of the former USSR and are a citizen of one of the countries that were earlier part of it; Or left Russia and lived in another country, becoming its citizen, but decided to return, then you have the right to become a participant in the project.

According to the Federal Law "On State Policy of the Russian Federation with Respect to Compatriots Living Abroad", persons who are born in one state who live or reside in it and who have common signs of history, language and cultural heritage may become program participants. Also compatriots are direct descendants of the listed persons.

What does the project provide?

The program "Resettlement of compatriots to Russia" allows you to move to this country and get certain preferential conditions for living. Now the persons who have become participants of the project have the right to become citizens of the Russian Federation under a simplified procedure, to move to the regions and get registration there. They will not have to register a residence permit, confirm the knowledge of the Russian language and provide information about the official source of income. Also, the simplified procedure applies to all members of the family of immigrants. It should be noted that citizens who provide fake documents for registration, untrue information deported from Russia or previously tried, can not count on the rapid receipt of a Russian passport.

Regions involved in the program

In 2014, Kamchatsky, Primorsky, Zabaikalsky, Khabarovsk Krai, Buryatia, Magadan, Irkutsk, Amur and Sakhalin regions became priority regions for resettlement, and the Jewish Autonomous Region. When moving to these territories compatriots are paid one-time assistance in the amount of 240 thousand rubles for the head of the family and 120 thousand rubles for each member of the family. In addition, in the absence of permanent income, the first six months are allocated a benefit of 50% of the subsistence minimum in the region chosen for resettlement.

Acquiring citizenship and work permits

The program "Resettlement of Compatriots" provides for a quick registration of a residence permit. Participants receive it immediately upon arrival in the country, regardless of the quota that applies to the remaining settlers. In this case, citizenship can be obtained without a residence permit, which greatly simplifies the process. There is no need to obtain a work permit for settlers. In addition, upon arrival in Russia, they are reimbursed for the costs of moving and transporting property.

What is necessary to participate in the project

The program for the resettlement of compatriots in 2014 includes the following administrative procedures:

1. To begin with, you must register as a member by submitting an application.
2. Then you need to take care of obtaining documents that help to establish the legal status of a compatriot and his family in the territory of the Russian Federation (residence permit, passport of a Russian citizen);
3. Then the citizen receives the certificate of the participant of the state program.
4. After that, he must register at the place of accommodation in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Documents required for participation

The program of voluntary resettlement is available to people who want to move to Russia after submitting an application and a questionnaire to the consulate. In addition, you should have copies of the following documents certified by a notary to the consulate:

1. Identity cards of the participant and his family members, inscribed in the questionnaire.
2. House book.
3. Documents on the marital status of the participant and his family.
4. All available documents on education.
5. The work book.

In addition, it is possible to add to the list various documents or characteristics from the previous place of work, which give a positive assessment of the professionalism of the applicant and his family members. Please note that the papers compiled in a foreign language must necessarily be translated into Russian. Translation is required and seals in the language of another state.

It is necessary to check in advance the correctness of spelling of names, surnames, patronymics in the documents of the applicant and his relatives. Writing must comply with the presented documents. If there are any discrepancies, the application at the consulate will not be accepted. Often there are problems with inaccuracies in the workbook. Therefore, if you are interested in the state program of resettlement of compatriots, carefully check all records before filing. The application is reviewed within 1.5-3.5 months. If the answer is positive, it is reported in writing, a negative result will be announced over the phone.

Stages of obtaining Russian citizenship

The program of resettlement of compatriots is focused mainly on developing and sparsely populated regions of the Russian Federation. In order to obtain Russian citizenship, the participant of this program must first of all apply for a residence permit in accordance with the quota in the chosen region. Also, the mandatory conditions are facts of registration and employment of the applicant in the city or area of registration of documents, the re-registration of the RWP and the registration of the certificate of the project participant. Consequently, all Russia is not available to move, the resettlement program of compatriots is realized only in some regions of the country.

To date, the program has made some changes, resulting in a period of obtaining citizenship significantly increased. In addition, the process itself has become a little easier to document in the usual way.

Further actions

After approval of the application, it is necessary to go back to the embassy to obtain the certificate of the program participant. You should have the same set of documents with you, only in the original. In addition, you need to provide two non-color photographs of the applicant size of 3.5 to 4.5 cm.

Terms of resettlement

The resettlement program for compatriots in 2014 does not limit the participant in terms of moving, but experts recommend not dragging and immediately go to the selected region of the Russian Federation. Sometimes people, having received a positive decision and a certificate of the participant, postpone moving for a year or more, but this creates certain problems for the Russian side in the payment of lifts, since the budget for these payments is pawned at the beginning of the year.

It should be noted that in each region and city additional conditions and opportunities for participants of the project can be provided. For example, in some areas, migrants can help with employment by offering several vacancies. Especially valuable specialists can count on the provision of housing.

The program of resettlement of compatriots to Russia was created to help people living abroad and wishing to return to their historical homeland. The program was approved on June 22, 2006 by the decree of the President of the Russian Federation. The main objectives of such assistance to the settlers are to stimulate and organize the process of moving compatriots on voluntary terms. In addition, the purpose of the state program is to compensate for the natural decline in the population in the country in general and in its separate regions in particular by attracting immigrants to a permanent place of residence in Russia.
