Legal ways to acquire citizenship

There are two methods permitted by Russian legislation for the naturalization of foreigners with a residence permit in this country:

General;
Simplified.

Article 13 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 62 “On Citizenship” dated May 31, 2002 provides for obtaining an indigenous person in the general manner if the applicant meets the following conditions:

Own majority and legal capacity;
Residence on the territory of the Russian Federation with a temporary residence permit for 1 year (the rule does not apply to citizens of Belarus), then with a residence permit - 5 years (interruption of the period by no more than 90 days per year is acceptable). The period for a residence permit is reduced to 1 year for persons who have distinguished themselves by high achievements in the scientific, technical and cultural spheres of the country’s life, as well as refugees and holders of political asylum in Russia;
Lack of other citizenship (nationality). The exception is citizens of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Belarus;

Persons who have particularly distinguished themselves before Russia in a positive sense are exempt from the need to meet these requirements. Citizens of states that were part of the USSR can be naturalized in Russia without having a residence permit and having completed a five-year period of living in the country, provided that they served in the military formations of the Russian Federation for at least 3 years for a total period.

Where to register?

According to Article No. 14 of the Federal Law “On Migration Registration,” an IG is required to register at his place of residence within seven days after receiving a temporary residence permit.
You can register in the following areas:

own residential property;
housing of relatives or friends;
municipal apartment;
rented premises.

Each of these options requires the provision of a document confirming the right to move into the premises . The residential premises must be located in the region in which the temporary residence permit was issued.

For example, having received a temporary residence permit in the Moscow region, you can register in any city included in a given subject of the Russian Federation. In this case, registration in an apartment located in Moscow is impossible, as is registration in any other city of the Russian Federation.

When registering a temporary residence permit, a foreign citizen must indicate the intended place of future registration. However, there is no legal obligation to subsequently register at this address.

A migrant can register at any address , and during his stay in Russia under a temporary residence permit, change his registration address an unlimited number of times.

Violation of the registration deadlines is punishable by a fine of 2 to 5 thousand rubles or cancellation of the temporary residence permit (Article 18.8 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Duration of residence in the country

In accordance with Federal Law No. 115 of July 25, 2002 (amended on December 27, 2018), acquisition of citizenship in Russia is possible for persons who have lived (in total):

Without registration – no more than 7 days;
With temporary residence permit – at least one year;
With a residence permit - at least 5 years (interruption of the period by 90 days (maximum) per year is allowed).

Persons who have worked in the Russian Federation for 3 or more years (ordinary or highly skilled workers, businessmen, investors) can apply for citizenship at any time if they wish.

What types of registration after temporary residence permit can be

Registration after a temporary residence permit of a foreigner can be divided into 2 types :

registration at the place of residence (temporary) - used when for some reason it is not possible to find a place for permanent registration at the place of residence after receiving a temporary residence permit. Its duration can be any and depends on the agreements with the party providing the residential premises, but most often it is registration for 3 years (for the duration of the temporary residence permit);
registration at the place of residence (permanent) - it is permanent and does not provide for a limitation on the period of validity. It is usually called “registration under temporary residence permit”. Usually, this is done only when a migrant registers in his own housing, or housing obtained under a social tenancy agreement or lease. The main difference from a temporary one is that it cannot be terminated due to the expiration of the period.

At the same time, he is allowed to register only in the following types of residential premises :

Own residential property.
Real estate owned by relatives or friends .
Premises provided by the municipality .
Rented property .

Registration after receiving a temporary residence permit

A person who has his own personal or rented home has the right to register or register after receiving a temporary residence permit.
The subject has the right to register where he intends to live, in one of the local offices of the following government agencies :

MFC;
migration service;
police;
online through the State Services service.

Registration is carried out on the date of submission of documentation. For the procedure you must pay a state fee of 350 rubles . This amount is not paid by a person living under the state resettlement program.

What documents are needed for registration

The registering organization is provided with:

RVP form of the established form . Filled out manually or on a computer, signed by the subject;
passport with notarized and translated copies;
documentation for the object and the rights of the subject (house register, purchase and sale transaction, certificate from the register);
ID card of the person providing the premises . He must come to the government body himself, and if there are co-owners, they can provide their opinion certified by a notary;
documentary grounds giving authority to a foreigner to live in the premises ( written lease agreement ).

A registered person has the right to register his minor children without the consent of the property owner. Their temporary registration will end at the same time as their parent's.

It is important to comply with additional requirements:

If housing is rented from unauthorized persons, the consent of all owners is required .
If a foreigner is registered with relatives, then the relationship must be documented .
The owner (with the consent of the others) is obliged to be present when the subject submits papers to the registration authority.
If a foreigner owns several residential premises, then registration is recorded at the address of one of them , and the rest of the housing is reported.
The foreigner confirms (fingerprint) procedure

The registration authority may impose additional requirements (for example, a photograph).

Additional Documentation

The above list is minimal and can be expanded. If a migrant is registered at the place of stay with relatives, notarized consent of all owners will be required. If you have this document, the presence of all homeowners will not be required.

The consent may not be notarized if it is drawn up directly at the place of registration, but then all owners must provide identification documents. You must also have documents confirming the ownership of your home with you.

Download owner's consent

If a newborn child is temporarily registered, then the child’s birth certificate will be required, and the consent of the owners is no longer necessary.

The possibility of such registration of minors raises concerns among homeowners; however, it ceases along with the registration of parents.

Where can I get a temporary residence permit?

The main problem when registering under a temporary residence permit is providing grounds for registration in a particular premises. Before submitting an application, the foreigner must provide documentation containing information about the subject's right to reside in the home.

In a personal apartment

Registration in your own apartment is carried out on the basis of a Certificate of Real Estate and the grounds for its acquisition (sale and purchase agreement, donation, exchange), so it is necessary to prepare these documents.

In a relative's apartment

A more difficult option is registration in an apartment belonging to another person or relative . It can be issued only in the presence of the owner and on the basis of documents confirming the relationship, if this is a relative of a foreigner.

The consent and presence of other persons registered in the residential premises belonging to a migrant’s relative is not required.

In a rented apartment

in rented housing on the basis of a contract. If the lease agreement is drawn up with the participation of a notary, the presence of the owner and an application from him will not be required. The contract in simple form in this case has no legal force.

In public housing

The most difficult option is registration in a municipal apartment . The owner of such housing is the local government, so consent to registration must be obtained from them. The administration of a municipal settlement has the right to refuse registration of a citizen if, after moving in, the number of square meters per resident is less than the norm established in the region. The authorities must give their consent in writing. The document must be attached to the rest of the required package. During the registration procedure for municipal housing, the presence of the tenant of the premises is required.

Basic provisions

The main reason for not only obtaining, but also extending a residence permit is the emergence of the right to use housing. It can be based not only on personal property, but also on a lease agreement. The absence of such an opportunity makes it impossible to have a residence permit in Russia.

The use of real estate requires the maintenance of records. The law requires you to submit an application to the migration service and register at your residence address. For convenience, you can contact the nearest MFC to submit documents and an application. If everything is in order, the responsible employee puts a mark in the residence permit document on the day the application is accepted.

How to renew a registration that is ending or has expired

Do not confuse the concepts of extending the period of stay in the country, extending migration registration and extending registration at the place of residence or stay. The temporary residence permit itself is not subject to renewal and will expire 3 years after its issuance .

Registration at the place of residence does not require renewal, since it is permanent in itself. The law does not provide for the concept of “extension of registration at the place of stay.” This means that upon expiration, the temporary registration will be automatically terminated.

If a migrant receives a residence permit, he must also re-register at his place of stay or residence. Despite the fact that the temporary residence permit will contain a mark indicating registration at the place of residence, you will have to visit the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration to get a stamp on the residence permit .

If registration at the place of stay ends earlier than this period, you will have to submit a full package of documents again , including the consent of all owners on the living side to provide premises for residence.

On what grounds can registration under a temporary residence permit be terminated?

An exhaustive list of grounds for termination of registration at the place of residence and stay of a foreigner or stateless person is in paragraph 16 of the Rules. The list includes :

Registration at the place of residence in another place . It must be remembered that persons living under a temporary residence permit are limited in their ability to live and work outside the region where it was issued. Before registering at a new place of residence, you need to make sure that there is a possibility for a new registration.
Loss of the right to use residential premises by a migrant on the grounds provided for by current legislation. For example, in case of termination of family relationships, divorce or cancellation of adoption.
Entry into legal force of a court decision by which a foreigner or stateless person was deprived of a temporary residence permit, and with them the right to temporary residence in the territory of the Russian Federation.
Expiration of the RVP.
Recognition of registration at the place of residence as invalid based on a court decision that has entered into legal force.
Death of a foreigner or stateless person , or recognition as such based on a court decision that has entered into legal force.
Detection and recording of the fact of fictitious registration of a migrant at the place of residence.

It is allowed to terminate registration after receiving a document confirming the existence of grounds for termination of registration of a migrant at the place of residence. This may be a statement from the migrant himself or a copy of the court decision.

Are foreigners with a temporary residence permit allowed to leave Russia?

The ability to freely exit/enter Russia is one of the advantages of foreigners who have a temporary residence permit. However, starting from 2021, this opportunity requires compliance with certain formalities. So, in 2021 in Art. 24 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation” dated August 15, 1996 No. 114-FZ, regulating the procedure for entry/exit, a number of changes were made, one of which was the introduction of a “temporary resident visa”.

Now any foreigner with a Russian temporary residence permit, if he wishes to leave the territory of Russia or return to it, is required to present a valid identification document at the border, as well as the specified visa.

This does not apply only to citizens of those countries with which Russia has international treaties establishing the procedure for visa-free entry.

Fortunately, the need to present a visa complicates the entry/exit of a foreigner only formally - there is no need to additionally submit documents for a visa and wait for it to be issued. According to Art. 25.8 of Federal Law No. 114, such a visa is issued to a foreign citizen simultaneously with the temporary residence permit and will be valid for the entire period of validity of the permit.
