Permission for temporary residence for Ukrainian citizens: how to apply

Among the most relevant documents, knowledge of which registration is necessary, is a temporary residence permit for Ukrainian citizens. This demand is related to the fact that the number of people coming from this country is continuously growing, and this document is a guarantee of observance of all human rights and obligations.

What is the need for obtaining a temporary permit

Russia had close enough relations with Ukraine at all stages of history. And today the number of its citizens, located on the territory of the Russian Federation, is quite large. But if you stay in the country for a long time, you need a temporary residence permit, which will be an official confirmation of the possibility of living and working on the territory of the Russian Federation on legal grounds.

This document is necessary for citizens of any country, as well as for those who do not possess any citizenship. However, according to Russian laws, it is rather difficult to obtain it. Exceptions are residents of the CIS countries and, in particular, Ukraine. For this category of citizens there is a simplified scheme for processing the document.

Advantages of having permission

The key reason for the need for a temporary residence permit is work and a long stay on the territory of the Russian Federation on a legal basis. As a result , a citizen of Ukraine who lives in the country has the same rights as a resident of Russia.

However, it is necessary to take into account a small restriction in the issuance of this document - the holder of the permit has the right to be employed only in the subject of the state where his application was considered. That is why the process of obtaining this document must begin strictly in the region and city where you are going to live within the next year. If this condition is not respected, you will have to rewrite the document.

This restriction applies only to the issue of employment, obtaining a temporary residence permit provides an opportunity for free movement on the territory of Russia. This document also means that you become a full-fledged taxpayer within the next year and can enjoy all state and municipal services on an equal footing with Russian citizens.

Migration card - the first step to registration of temporary residence

Citizens of Ukraine have the opportunity to enter the country without a visa. All they need is a foreign passport.

During the passage of customs control, it is necessary to go through the procedure for obtaining and filling an immigration card. It is she who will be the basis by which in the future you will be able to issue a temporary registration, and then obtain a temporary residence permit for Ukrainian citizens. The migration card is also necessary for subsequent employment on an official basis.

This document has a voucher for entry and exit. It should be filled very carefully to avoid any kind of error.

One of the main points for filling is the indication of the purpose of arrival. It should be designated as correctly as possible, since the migration service closely follows the conformity of the purpose of the visit and its implementation. If any kind of violation is revealed, the citizen of Ukraine is threatened with payment of a fine and expulsion from the country with a subsequent temporary ban on entry.

During the departure from the territory of Russia, the migration card is subject to cancellation, even if the period of its validity is not completed.

Where can I get permission?

Any foreigner must register with the migration service within 7 days after the Russian border was crossed. Exceptions are citizens of Ukraine and specialists with high qualifications from other countries. For this category, the period of stay in a country without a temporary registration is 90 days.

Registration of the permit for temporary residence takes place in the territorial bodies of the FMS. At the same time, a seal is placed in the passport of a citizen of Ukraine.

• Have an underage child or disabled parents who hold Russian citizenship;
• Went to serve in the Russian troops;
• Registered a marriage with a Russian citizen;

Timing for your application

After you have submitted a package of documents to the FMS department, you are issued a certificate. It shows that at present the issue of granting you permission is being decided. This document is the legal basis for finding a citizen of Ukraine on the territory of the Russian Federation during the entire period of consideration of the application submitted.

In the event that, upon your request, a positive decision is taken, you need to undergo a fingerprint procedure before you receive the coveted stamp in your passport. This measure is designed to control the level of security of the inhabitants of the country. You can go through this procedure directly at the FMS office.

Permit validity period

The permit for temporary residence for Ukrainian citizens is valid for 3 years and is not subject to extension. Every year it is necessary to visit the department of the FMS to extend its document for another 12 months.

If, after a three-year period, you decide to stay in Russia, you must apply for a residence permit. Its acquisition removes certain restrictions related to temporary residence. For example, after obtaining a residence permit, you will no longer be attached to the subject of the Russian Federation where you work. This opens certain prospects in terms of career growth.

You can apply for a residence permit after one year has elapsed from the moment you received a temporary residence permit. However, this must be done within a period of at least six months before the end of its operation.

• Non-attainment of the level of income of the subsistence minimum, which is established by the state;
• Non-compliance with the requirements for the annual confirmation of their document of temporary residence or violation of its terms;
• Presence of administrative violations or criminal offenses committed in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Rights and obligations of a citizen who has obtained permission

Besides the fact that this document gives certain advantages, it also imposes responsibility on the person. Having received permission for temporary residence of the Russian Federation, a citizen of Ukraine undertakes to observe certain rules and requirements.

First of all, every year, two months before its expiration, it must submit a notification to the territorial body of the FMS. You can do it personally or through the Internet, using the portal of state and municipal services. A notice on the amount and source of income for the elapsed time period should be attached to the notification.

A citizen of Ukraine, residing on the territory of the Russian Federation under this document, has no right to change the place of his stay at his own request. This can be done only by submitting an official application and obtaining the appropriate permission.

The permit for temporary residence for Ukrainian citizens obliges the migrant to work in the territory of the Russian Federation and receive an official income. The law stipulates that if this requirement is not complied with within 180 days from the moment of obtaining permission, the document is canceled. The absence of labor activity or other sources of income from any activity that does not contradict the laws of the country is the basis for this action. This also includes the lack of funds in a sufficient number for the maintenance of family members.

A citizen of Ukraine temporarily living in the Russian Federation is obliged to strictly observe the laws of the country. Two or more administrative violations within one year may also lead to the cancellation of the residence permit.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that a foreign citizen does not have the right to vote and can not participate in a referendum.

He also has duties to register with the tax authorities during the first year of his stay in the country.

Small nuances

When you are going to apply for a temporary residence permit, you should know that in the event of refusal by the FMS authorities, this decision is not subject to appeal. That is why it is very important to follow all the rules when collecting documents and submitting a petition.

For example, if a temporary registration is made at first, then in the issue of obtaining a quota for the next stage of legalization of stay, the behavior of a citizen during a given year is important. In particular, this concerns the correspondence of the place of residence and residence. The bodies of the FMS can check this fact several times during the year.

When staying in Russia without proper registration, the period of legal stay is 90 days. When this period expires, the citizen of Ukraine must leave the country. You can return after 180 days from the date of departure.

This measure is designed to control the flow of migrants from a neighboring state, and to limit the number of visitors arriving in the country without a specific purpose. In this case, there is no work activity, and accordingly, and obtaining legal grounds for finding in the Russian Federation.

Also, you should know that the application for permission is considered exclusively in the territorial bodies of the FMS, but there is the possibility of applying through the Internet. To do this, you need to use the portal of public services.

This is how the scheme looks like, according to which it is possible to obtain a temporary residence permit. Ukraine and the Russian Federation, being neighbors, simplify this procedure. However, the observance of all rules and requirements both when submitting an application and after obtaining the necessary document for a migrant is mandatory.
