Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is a numeric detail used by inspectors for collecting fees and duties, which helps avoid confusion of surnames, first names and patronymics of persons obliged to make contributions to the state budget in accordance with Article 23 of the Tax Code.
It is received as needed; there are no age restrictions when applying. It is needed to complete a property transaction with the participation of the owner, when purchasing real estate, getting a job, starting a business, etc. When hiring people, some organizations include a TIN certificate in the list of required documents.
Migration registration and foreigner status
Foreign citizens are subject to migration registration in Russia. To do this, upon entering the border, a foreigner receives and fills out a migration card. He gives a copy of the migration card to the receiving party in Russia.
You notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs about the arrival of a foreigner only if you are the receiving party, for example, if you provide housing to the future employee. This must be done no later than thirty working days from the date of arrival of a foreigner from a member country of the EAEU, fifteen working days if a foreigner arrives from Tajikistan and seven working days from the date of arrival of a foreigner from other countries. The notification is filled out for each foreigner using a special form. Attach a copy of his identity document (passport) and a copy of his migration card to the notification.
The procedure for applying for a job and making payments depends on the status of a foreign citizen. There are three statuses:
- permanent residents - the most “Russified” foreigners with a residence permit;
- temporary residents - have a temporary residence permit;
- temporarily staying - working on a visa, migration card or on the basis of a patent.
Now we’ll tell you about each status in more detail, and you’ll also learn what you need to check and how to register foreign citizens to work for you.

How to register permanent and temporary residents
Most often, foreigners from the CIS countries and foreigners residing in the Russian Federation temporarily or permanently are hired. They get jobs in the same way as citizens of the Russian Federation. To apply for them, you do not need permission to attract foreign workers.
When hiring a permanent resident foreigner, request a residence permit and check the validity period. This document is issued for 5 years and can then be extended. Foreigners can work with it throughout Russia.
When hiring a temporary resident foreigner, request a temporary residence permit . A foreigner can only work in the region where he received a temporary residence permit. It is issued for a period of 3 years, as a mark in an identity document, or as a separate document. When the permit expires, the foreigner receives a residence permit or leaves the country.
Workers from Belarus are equal in labor status to citizens of our country and upon employment they present the same documents, except for military registration documents. The rules for hiring citizens of Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan have also been simplified - they can work in Russia without a work permit.
Important: citizens of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan, like other foreign citizens, are subject to migration registration.
