Rules for registering foreign citizens on the territory of the Russian Federation: how to register a migrant in your apartment through the Federal Migration Service?

Reasons

Unlike temporary registration, registration of an IG at the place of residence is possible only after the foreigner receives a temporary residence permit or residence permit .
These documents give the migrant the right to reside in Russia for three to five years, move freely within its borders, travel abroad and enter without a visa, and also find employment without a patent or work permit .

However, these documents are not enough for a legal position in the country. How many days are given to register a foreign citizen?

A prerequisite after receiving them is registration at the place of residence within 7 days (Federal Law “On Migration Registration...” No. 109 of July 18, 2006).

Violation of this condition is a violation of the law and is punishable by a fine in the amount of 2 to 7 thousand rubles, depending on the region (COAP Art. 18.8).

In some cases, a violator may lose a temporary residence permit and be expelled from the territory of the Russian Federation without the right to enter for 3 years.

Rights and obligations of a temporary resident in the Russian Federation

115-FZ “On the legal status of foreign citizens” states:

Within 7 days, he is obliged to register with the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation;
If it is impossible to register within the period established by law, it is necessary to register for migration;
A temporarily residing citizen cannot independently and at his own request change his place of residence outside the subject in which he received a certificate for a temporary residence permit;
A citizen does not have the right to get a job or conduct business outside the entity in which the permit was obtained;
Provide a certificate of tax registration without fail within a month to the department of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Moscow;
A temporary resident is obliged, after 2 months after the end of the year of residence, to provide the MFC with a certificate of income for the current year and confirm his residence in the country.

Where can I register?

Before submitting an application for registration, you must decide on the place of future registration. By law, you can register in the following premises:

residential premises belonging to IS;
housing of relatives and friends;
municipal apartment;
rented housing.

Registration in each of the premises has its own characteristics:

The simplest option is registration in an apartment owned by the migrant himself or members of his family . The basis for its registration is the presence of a Certificate of Ownership.
To register relatives or friends in an apartment, you will need the consent of the owners, their presence and confirmation of relationship.
Registration in a rented apartment is possible without the presence of the owner and his consent if a notarized lease agreement is drawn up. With a simple form of contract registration, registration is carried out in the usual manner.
Registration in a municipal apartment is the most difficult option. To implement it, you will need to obtain the consent of the municipal authorities, who are actually the owners of the residential premises. A migrant will be denied registration if, after his arrival, the number of square meters per resident becomes less than regional standards.

The registration address may differ from the one indicated in the application for a temporary residence permit or temporary residence permit.

When registering under a temporary residence permit, a mandatory condition is registration in the same region where the document is issued.

For example, with a temporary residence permit in Moscow you cannot register in the Moscow region. There is no such restriction for registration under a residence permit.

Rules for registration of foreign citizens

How to register a foreign citizen in an apartment? An application for registration at the place of residence by a migrant is submitted in person when applying to the FMS or MFC.

Specific addresses in each region may vary, so information must be clarified when receiving a temporary residence permit from the employee issuing the document. As a rule, registration is completed in the department of the Federal Migration Service where the temporary residence permit was received.

What is needed to register a foreign citizen? The application for registration is submitted with a package of documents:

passport with its official translation;
RVP or residence permit;
certificate of fingerprinting;
consent of the property owner. If the premises are in shared ownership, each owner must give consent;
rental agreement (if any);
passport and Certificate of ownership of the owner of the premises;
documents on relationship with the owner or a rental agreement for premises;
migration card;
arrival slip;
extract from the house register;
receipt for state duty.

When registering in premises owned by another person, or all owners is required

The employee accepts the application and creates a migrant registration card. After checking all the documents, a registration mark (stamp) is placed in the migrant’s passport. These actions are prescribed in the administrative regulations of the Federal Migration Service for registration at the place of residence.

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 .

How to fill out an application?

The application for registration has a form approved by regulations (Form 9). The document must be filled out in Russian, in legible handwriting, without abbreviations or erasures. Corrections and crossing outs in the form are not allowed.

The application contains the following information:

Name of company.
Migrant data – full name, passport details.
Registration address.
Details of RVP or residence permit.
Information about the residential premises (full name of the owner, details of the Certificate).

Timing and cost

What are the registration deadlines for foreign citizens?
Unlike the registration of a Russian citizen, which is indefinite, the registration of an IG is issued for a maximum of three years, in accordance with the validity of the temporary residence permit or residence permit.

At the request of the owner, the period can be reduced to 1 year , then it can be extended.

The passport is stamped on the day of application. The only problem is getting an appointment with a specialist, since there are always quite long queues at the Federal Migration Service.

What is the state fee for registering foreign citizens? When registering for foreign citizens, you must pay a state fee of 350 rubles.

You can complete registration quickly and without errors in filling out documents with the help of an intermediary organization. The cost of services of such companies is from 1500 to 3000 rubles .

Where to apply

Temporary registration is issued at the place of actual residence of a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan in the Russian Federation. It can be:

living space;
employing organization (in case of actual residence at the place of work);
hotel;
a dormitory of an educational institution in which a foreigner is studying full-time or part-time;
a medical institution in which a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan is provided with medical care in a hospital setting.

The receiving party of a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan in the Russian Federation notifies the territorial body of the Main Department of Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Federal District about his arrival in one of the following ways:
during a personal visit (the most reliable method, since the detachable part of the notification form with the mark of the authorized body (temporary registration) can be obtained immediately);
through the MFC;
by post;
electronic.

Registration data about the Tajik is entered into the database for registering foreign citizens. This way, the authorized body will be able to easily track a foreigner’s violation of the rules of migration registration in the Russian Federation.

If previously a citizen of the Republic of Tajikistan who owned residential premises on the territory of the Russian Federation could be a host for other foreign citizens only if he had a residence permit, then within the framework of Federal Law No. 182-FZ of 06/08/2020, which came into force, such status is for he no longer needs this.

Refusal of registration

the reason for refusal to register at the place of residence:

errors in completing the application;
incomplete package of documents;
lack of consent of the owner (including permission from local authorities when registering for municipal housing);
the employee doubts the authenticity of the documents provided;
the premises in which registration is carried out are seized or are in pledge.

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.

Change of residence

While living in the Russian Federation, a migrant may need to change his place of registration . Such actions are possible subject to certain conditions:

The new residential premises must be located in the same region as the place of initial registration. In this case, the migrant writes an application to change his place of registration and attaches to it the documents that serve as the basis for this action. The application review period is about two months. If the decision is positive, the migrant is deregistered and undertakes to register at a new address within 7 days.
To move to another region, you will need to apply for a temporary residence permit transfer . The application is submitted to the FMS office where the temporary residence permit was issued. There must be compelling reasons for a transfer. After coordinating actions with the territorial branch of the FMS at the new address, the migrant receives permission to transfer or refuse. After receiving a new temporary residence permit, registration is carried out at the new address.

Consequences for the owner

Registration of a foreign citizen in his apartment does not entail the emergence of rights to it , however, the citizen who provided the migrant with an apartment for registration should take into account the following points:

Moving into the apartment of a new tenant will entail an increase in utility bills in the absence of individual meters. Responsibilities for payment rest with the owner of the premises.
The owner is fully responsible for all actions of the tenant . The right step would be to take out property and civil liability insurance for your neighbors.
According to the law, a citizen registered in an apartment, including a migrant, has the right to register his own minor child in this territory . The owner's consent is not required for this action.

Therefore, by registering a migrant in his apartment, the owner of the property can become the owners of additional tenants in his property.

Having moved a migrant into an apartment, the owner must also remember that it is necessary to notify the FMS authorities in a timely manner if he moves out prematurely. It is also necessary to monitor the lodger’s guests, since often one migrant is registered, but in fact a whole family or group of friends lives with him . Living in an apartment of an IG without registration is punishable by a fine of 3 to 7 thousand rubles.
