Documents for the extension of the residence permit: list, design details and recommendations

According to the law, a foreigner has the right to live and work in Russia, and in other countries, only after obtaining residence permit. In order for the procedure to pass quickly and simply, it is necessary to know what documents to collect the extension of the residence permit and what is the order of all actions.

What is a residence permit?

So, every foreigner who wants to come to Russia or continue living on its territory further should understand that the residence permit is a document:

• Which certifies the identity of a citizen residing in Russia;
• Which gives a person the right to work and be realized in the country chosen by him.

If a foreigner has collected all the necessary documents for the extension of the residence permit and has issued it, he has the right to freely move around the Russian Federation, leave the country and return.

The term of the issued residence permit is fixed and is 5 years. Before you begin the procedure for issuing it, a foreigner needs to live legally within the territory of the Russian Federation for a year and do not leave it during this period.

Permit in the Russian Federation under the simplified scheme can be received only by citizens of Belarus. Other foreigners must first obtain a temporary residence permit in the country, then six months must begin to collect all the necessary documents for obtaining a residence permit, and in the end, the procedure for obtaining it must begin.

What is the renewal of a residence permit?

Any foreigner who plans to continue living on the territory of the Russian Federation must extend his residence permit. Extension, the necessary documents and other procedures must be collected and executed before the end of the period of the issued residence permit. After five years, a person without an identity card will already be illegally staying in the Russian Federation.

It is worth noting that now this procedure is kept under very strict control. People living on the basis of residence permits receive an electronic chip that keeps all information about their owner. The residence permit with the chip has been in effect since 2013.

List of documents for the extension of residence permit

When a person has decided to first issue or prolong a residence permit, he must collect a complete list of securities. It includes:

• Application form;
• Passport of the country where the citizen was born;
• Photo;
• A check confirming the payment of the state fee;
• A valid temporary residence permit.

In the migration service it is necessary to provide not only the original documents, but also their copies, which are notarized. The foreign passport must be translated into Russian and the version with translation also be notarized.

When renewing a foreigner must also provide a certificate with a note on his temporary registration.

List of additional papers

Specialists of the migration service also recommend giving them and other list of documents for the extension of the residence permit. It is worth noting that these papers do not affect the receipt of residence permits, but their provision greatly facilitates the procedure for obtaining the document.

1. The migration service can provide a copy of the contract, which is concluded with the employer in the territory of the Russian Federation. It is good, if there will be indicated the amount of salary and salary.
2. Not too much will be a paper with confirmation of the purchase of real estate in Russia.
3. Also, a foreigner can submit a declaration stating his monthly income. Based on the declaration, a person can confirm that he has the means to support himself and his family.

The established state fee for registration of residence permit

So, above it was indicated which documents must be submitted for a residence permit. The list also included a paper with confirmation of payment of state duty.

It is worth noting that the state duty - this is a very important part in the design of residence permit. It is obligatory to pay it both at the first registration of the document, and at its prolongation. Without its payment, the migration service will not even accept the documents collected. Thankfully, this part of the procedure is recognized as the easiest.

If a foreigner undertook to issue a residence permit independently, he will need to pay only 3 500 rubles. That is the amount of state duty on residence permit in 2016. If the collection of documents is handled by a specialized company, then the person it will cost about 50,000 rubles.

Terms of processing the application from a foreigner

Do not think that the timeframe is tied only to citizens who want to get a residence permit. Employees of the migration service are also tied to the legislation.

If all documents for the extension of the residence permit were collected correctly and handed in exactly on time, the FMS can not refuse the alien. Moreover, employees are obliged to give an answer about the decision made to a person within three days. Of course, the registration procedure itself takes much longer, but a foreigner in three days will know whether they will issue a residence permit or not.

Most often the procedure is completed successfully, however, if a person during the previous residence permit or when a temporary residence permit violated the law, the employees will have every reason to refuse to file it.

What are the nuances when you issue and renew your residence permit?

So, it was already sorted out which documents to extend the residence permit must be provided. Now it is worth turning to the existing nuances of the extension of this document, because the residence permit can be revoked at any time.

A foreigner, or, as it is also called, a stateless person, must send regularly, by personal or registered letter, the necessary information that he really lives in the territory of the Russian Federation and has a constant income. Also, he is obliged once a year to confirm his personal data, because during this time he may change his surname, first name or patronymic. It is still important to notify the migration service about how much time in a year he was outside his second homeland.

Information that must be indicated in the notification form when extending the residence permit

If a person has a valid residence permit, he must annually confirm his place of residence. If you do not provide these documents in time, you can not calculate the extension of the residence permit. In some cases, this may lead to its early termination.

Confirmation of the place of residence is carried out by giving the appropriate notice. It must contain:

• The full name of the foreigner (stateless person);
• The address of actual residence in the Russian Federation;
• place of work;
• Time of work in this position;
• How many times and for how long he traveled outside the Russian Federation;
• The name of the employer from whom he performs his labor activity;
• The amount of salary - for this purpose a certificate from the employer or a declaration is suitable.

It is worth noting that all information must be documented, that is, press certificates must be printed.

It is very important not to violate the deadline for filing a notice. If a foreigner decides not to provide relevant information, he may be issued a serious fine in the amount of 5 to 7 thousand rubles. In some cases, even deportation from Russia is possible.

Refusal to extend residence permit

A stateless person residing in the territory of the Russian Federation must comply with the laws of the country and not violate established rules. He must provide documents in time for the extension of the residence permit, otherwise, most likely, he will be denied further residence in the territory of the Russian Federation. They can refuse if the foreigner:

• Has a previous conviction;
• Was involved in various administrative punishments (this applies to malicious offenders);
• Took part in actions that are aimed at changing the existing government of the Russian Federation;
• Over the last five years he was at least once deported from the country;
• Went to another country for the purpose of permanent residence;
• Provided deliberately false data about yourself, the employer or the place of residence;
• Is a carrier of a dangerous disease, including HIV;
• Concluded a marriage with a citizen of the Russian Federation, which was subsequently declared invalid;
• Is unable to support himself or his family, who also lives in the country.

It should be noted once again that all these violations serve not only as a direct reason for refusing to renew the residence permit, but also for the reason for its early termination. If a stateless person does not have a residence permit, he is legally obliged to leave the country immediately. If you violate the requirements to obtain a re-residence permit is unlikely to succeed.
