How to apply for Moscow registration on the basis of a residence permit?

A foreigner may notify the relevant authorities of his arrival in person. You can also submit your application by mail. The main thing is to correctly collect the entire package of documents. It is important to write the application on the organization’s letterhead and draft it correctly. Also, the application must be accompanied by the consent of the owner of the property in which the foreigner intends to register. The package of documents also needs to include a copy of your passport and a copy of your residence permit. If a person does not have a passport, then only a residence permit can be provided. You will also need a copy of the receiving Russian citizen. If this is not the first visit to the Russian Federation, and the foreigner was previously registered at a different address, a detachable part of the arrival notice will also be required.

The second method of registration is through the receiving party. This mainly applies to those living in hotels, sanatoriums, arriving in the country for work, etc. In this case, the foreigner gives the national passport to the receiving person, as well as the detachable part of the arrival notice. Next, all registration issues are decided by the receiving party.

The Arrival Notice must be completed correctly and accurately. No crossing outs or corrections should be allowed. Only one person can be entered on one form, even if he fills out information about the entire family. The form can be filled out by hand or printed.

You can contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the local MFC, the post office or the State Services website. The issue can be resolved through mail or the MFC only if the foreigner has two copies of the notifications. In all situations, it is necessary to provide documents not only of the foreigner himself, but also of the receiving party. Both a citizen of the Russian Federation and a company can act as a host.

Temporary registration for a residence permit is issued for the period specified in the notification. Ultimately, the foreigner will have in his hands a tear-off part of the notification form, on which the corresponding mark will be affixed.

Grounds for permanent registration

The legislation establishes the grounds upon which a citizen has the right to apply to the FMS to obtain permanent registration:

• marriage with a citizen of the Russian Federation and the birth of a common child;
• long-term work (more than 3 years) under a contract in the country with contract extension;
• purchase of real estate ownership.

A foreigner who arrived on the territory of the Russian Federation with a visa (when migrating from a country with which visa entry has been maintained) applies for a temporary residence permit. If at least one of the conditions for permanent registration is met, the citizen is obliged to notify the FMS of his intentions until the visa expires (usually 90 or 180 days).

If visa-free entry occurred, the citizen must notify the FMS authorities of his intentions to register for registration at his place of residence within seven days.

Note! Registration of official registration is not recognized as a basis for extending the period of stay in the country. If a migrant crosses the border on a visa, he has the right to obtain registration only for the duration of the visa.
