general information

In Russian legislation there is no concept of extending the period of temporary registration; there is the term “change of period of stay”, which implies an extension or shortening of the period of stay of a foreign citizen in the country.

Migration registration is extended on the basis of re-registration of the package of documents that was collected during the initial crossing of the Russian border or the documents necessary to extend the foreigner’s stay in Russia were submitted.

Grounds for extending the period of stay

In accordance with the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation, a foreign citizen has the right to stay on the territory of Russia for up to 90 days for a total of 180 days. To increase the time limits established by law, serious reasons are needed.

Without a compelling reason, it will not be possible to extend the registration period with the authorized body.

The most common reasons for extending stay:

1. A foreign person is waiting to receive a temporary residence permit or temporary residence permit.
2. The foreigner has a profession in demand and high qualifications and has entered into an agreement with the employer.
3. Documents have been submitted for registration of a patent.
4. A foreign person became a student at one of the universities of the Russian Federation.

Special category

Features of the procedure

Obtaining a permanent residence permit for a foreigner differs from obtaining temporary registration, which is due to the availability of premises in which such registration can be carried out.

Registration of a foreign citizen at the place of residence has a number of features:

1. Registration of registration is carried out in the territorial divisions of the Directorate for Migration Issues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (abolished FMS).
2. To obtain a residence permit, a foreigner will need to provide to the migration authorities, formerly the Federal Migration Service, his passport (or a substitute document that is recognized in Russia as an identity document), a residence permit or documents confirming the right of permanent residence in Russia, a certificate of ownership of the housing where he plans to register, or a social rental agreement for him.
   These documents must be attached to the application for registration, and must also be accompanied by a receipt for payment of the state fee. Currently, there are three options where documents can be submitted:
   • directly to the migration authorities;

   to multifunctional centers (from there they will be transferred to the territorial divisions of the UVM);

3. or to specialized private firms that will not only help you fill out the application and transfer it as proxies to the UVM, but will also check the correctness of the entire package of documents.
4. The cost of services of private companies that are engaged in registration of permanent registration today varies depending on the region and includes not only payment of the state fee (350 rubles per person) and verification and transfer of all necessary documents to the Department of Internal Affairs, but also registration of direct registration under a housing rental agreement .
   On average, the cost of such a comprehensive service when registering at a place of residence (if we are talking about providing a rental agreement) for five years is 45-100 thousand rubles per person.
5. If all documents are submitted and executed in the proper form, the process of registering a foreigner at the place of residence takes no more than ten days from the moment the Department of Foreign Affairs receives his application with supporting documents attached to it. In the case of temporary registration, confirmation of the fact of migration registration can be obtained on the day of submission of documents.
6. By analogy with Russian citizens, foreign citizens who have registration at their place of residence are given a mark in the documents confirming their right to stay in Russia (for example, on a residence permit), which indicates the specific address of the person’s residence. The relevant information is also entered into the electronic database of the Migration Office.

How to write an application correctly?

An application for registration at the place of residence is the main document on the basis of which a foreign citizen is registered in a particular residential premises.

For this reason, special attention should be paid to filling it out.

1. This document is filled out on a special form, approved by Decree of the Government of Russia No. 9 of January 15, 2007. Independent writing of this document is not permitted.
2. All fields must be filled out exclusively in Russian (if a foreign citizen does not speak it, he must notify a migration agency employee about this in order to make a decision on the filling procedure).
3. This document must be filled out in the most legible handwriting, indicating all the necessary data for the accurate organization of registration of an arriving national of another state.
4. When filling out the application, information about the place of registration must be indicated, as well as on what basis such registration is carried out. In addition, it is necessary to indicate information about those documents on the basis of which the applicant is granted the right to reside and use a specific premises.

If this document is completed in accordance with the listed requirements, it is accepted for consideration, about which the foreign national who submitted it is issued a corresponding receipt (it lists all those documents that were accepted in originals or copies along with the application).

What nuances should be taken into account?

There are a lot of nuances when registering a foreign citizen. Almost all of them are related to the presence or absence of a residence permit, as well as the right to use this or that real estate in which the foreigner will be registered.

1. If the person being registered has a residence permit, he has the right to stay on the territory of Russia indefinitely. Accordingly, the registration period can be limited only by the duration of the rental agreement or social tenancy agreement.
2. If there is no residence permit, but the person came from a visa country, then the registration period will be equal to the validity period of the visa, even if the registration was carried out at the place of permanent residence.
3. If Russia has established visa-free relations with the country of citizenship, then the period of stay of its citizen cannot exceed ninety days. After which he must leave Russia for at least ninety days.
4. Those foreign citizens who own residential real estate and have a residence permit are in the most privileged position - registration for these will be carried out in their housing on a permanent basis. If a foreigner owns real estate, but does not have a residence permit, then registration will be temporary even despite the presence of property, although it will be defined as registration at the place of residence.

In addition to those listed, there are certain features of registering foreign citizens in apartments.

Currently, registration of foreign citizens in apartments or residential buildings has become widespread. This registration has a number of its own features:

• A foreign citizen can obtain registration in such residential premises only if he has a social tenancy agreement for it or documents confirming ownership.
• When registering a foreign citizen in an apartment (if the registration is issued on the basis of a lease or social tenancy agreement), the area per registered person must not be less than the sanitary and social standards established by law (at least six square meters per person).
• A foreigner who has received registration in an apartment can exercise his right to live in it at any time.

This list of features is not exhaustive, since in each specific case they may be of a different nature.

When registering a foreigner in an apartment, its owner must be prepared for a number of difficulties that must be taken into account. For example:

1. In the event of disputes with neighbors , the homeowner will need to take part in resolving these conflicts.
2. If questions arise from the migration authorities , they have the right to visit a specific apartment without warning in order to establish the existence of violations of migration legislation (for example, whether a citizen of another state actually lives in this apartment or is just registered).
3. If a foreign citizen has his own minor child , he has the right, in accordance with Russian legislation, to register him with him without notifying the owner of the premises.
