The first step for an immigrant who wants to stay in Russia for a long time is to obtain a temporary residence stamp. This procedure has a number of subtleties and features. In order not to get confused in the nuances of obtaining permission, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the article prepared by us.
Advantages
Having a stamp in the passport that guarantees temporary legal stay in Russia, a migrant can count on:
- Three-year residence and labor activity in Russia without registration of additional papers.
- Legal registration of labor relations between him and the employer.
- Using the services of free Russian medicine.
- Free crossing of the borders of the Russian Federation in any direction.
- Legal opening of the business.
Law on TRP
All actions of representatives of authorized bodies and immigrants entering our country to realize their labor potential are regulated by Federal Law No. 115. Article 6 of the legal document contains information on a temporary residence permit in Russia.
It contains the following information: a list of applicants, the validity period of the status, quotas limiting the number of temporary residence permits issued, and a list of foreign citizens who receive this status on a preferential basis, as well as the reasons that lead to the termination of the document.
Responsibilities of immigrants who have received TRP
Citizens of other states residing in Russia under a temporary permit have not only the rights, but also the obligations:
- Annual notification of FMS employees that a foreigner lives and works in Russia.
- A foreign citizen with a TRP is tied to the region where the document was received. It is impossible to change the place of work and residence without the permission of the authorized body.
Important! A foreign citizen can move to another region for work after submitting an application for a change of residence and receiving a positive verdict.
- A foreigner must confirm financial security that allows him and his family to live in Russia.
- The number of days spent by a migrant outside the Russian state is limited and should not exceed 6 months per year
- Migrants with RVP do not have the right to vote.
- The migrant is responsible for his criminal actions in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation.
Important! 12 months - this is how long an immigrant who re-applies for a permit will need to wait.
How long is the RVP
RVP for foreign citizens is valid for three years. For a longer stay in the Russian Federation, a migrant must obtain a different status - a residence permit. You can apply for a residence permit six months after the issuance of the TRP, but no later than six months before its expiration. The law of the Russian Federation does not provide for options that increased or extended the validity of a temporary residence permit.
Quota
Every year, officials approve the rate of permits issued for the country and for each region separately. The distribution of quotas is uneven. For the capital and the Leningrad region, the number of permits issued is minimal in the country. A large share falls on the Central Federal District. The decision of the Government to allocate quotas for each region is formed based on the data and conclusions presented in the reports of departments for each region of the country.
Stages of obtaining
Before starting any actions to obtain a TRP, a foreigner must decide on the area of residence in Russia and the place of residence. After resolving these issues, the migrant will start collecting certificates, papers and other papers that are required for issuing a temporary residence permit.
Mandatory documents
There is a clear list of certificates, certificates and other official papers required for obtaining a permit. Documents for RVP are brought to the department in a copied and original form.
When arriving with a request for a permit, the migrant must have on hand: 
Documents for TRP for minor applicants
The children's list of documents for RVP is not much different from an adult. The only exception to the list is that there is no need to confirm knowledge of the official language. The application for the child is filled in by his official representative.
Important! For children over 14 years old, the authorized representative must issue a consent to move to the Russian Federation and present a document proving the absence of a criminal record.
Documents for TRP for migrants who have registered a marriage relationship with a Russian

- Passports of both spouses.
- Official paper containing information on payment of the state fee. Presented at the request of the migrant.
