Citizens who decide to come to Russia, should know some rules of stay of foreigners in this country. A lot of people come here every year to study, work, who goes, as they say, the world to see and show oneself, and someone - in search of a better life, new opportunities. But far from everyone thinks about observing the legality of their presence on the territory of the Russian Federation. Before you make big plans and try to realize your dreams, you should take care of the legalization of your stay in the state. And it is not just words. Recently, in Russia, everything is very strict with this, therefore, in order for the trip to be successful, it is desirable to find out all the nuances concerning the established laws even before arrival in the country. We decided to devote our article to such an important topic as temporary registration for foreign citizens. What is it?

Some terminology

Considering the topic "Registration of foreign citizens at the place of stay", one should first understand the terminology and distinguish some concepts.

1. Registration - a stamp that is placed on a specific page in the passport. It indicates the attachment of a person to a specific address. That is, he has a place of registration. Earlier it was called a residence permit.
2. Temporary registration is a document that confirms the right of a person to stay for a certain period of time at a specific address.
3. Place of residence - the address where the citizen is not more than three months (ninety days).

Registration of foreign citizens at the place of stay

Foreigners temporarily staying on the territory of the Russian Federation should become a migratory accountant. This procedure is to inform the bodies of the FMS about the arrival of a citizen of a foreign state in Russia. According to the law, seven days from the moment of crossing the border are assigned to the document. At the entrance each person receives a migration card on his hands, which marks the date of arrival and place of residence. It is assumed that upon arrival in any city a foreign citizen will pass a migration account.

Foreigners have the legal right to stay in the country for up to 90 days without any additional reason. If you have student documents or a work visa, this period increases to a year.

Documents for registration

For the registration of foreigners, the following documents are required:

1. Photocopy of the passport.
2. Photocopy of the migration card.
3. A photocopy of the document is the basis for extending the period of stay in the country if it is more than three months.

With all these documents a person must come to the FMS department. There he applies for registration of a foreign citizen. And you can do this not necessarily personally. There are several ways.

For example, through the mail. In the office, the receiving party fills in the arrival notification form, encloses the package of documents and sends it all to the migration service. After that, there will be a check in the hands of the dispatch, an inventory of the enclosed, notification.

And you can use the portal of the State Service. The application shall be completed in electronic form. By the way, on the site there is a sample of registration of a foreign citizen. After drawing up the document, it is sent to FMS automatically. Note! Documents for registration (originals) remain with you. You submit only copies.

And one moment. Many are interested: what are the terms of registration of foreign citizens? The whole procedure should not exceed one working day.

How can I renew the registration of foreigners?

Renewal of registration of foreign citizens is possible on the basis of Federal Law No. 115 "On the Legal Status of Aliens in the Territory of the Russian Federation" of July 25, 2002. There are only three legal grounds for a person's stay in the country longer than three months:

1. Availability of a work permit.
2. Admission to the educational institution (necessarily state).
3. A medical certificate stating that a person can not leave the country for health reasons.

The time of staying in the RF of a foreigner who did not issue a visa can not be more than ninety days, except for cases stipulated by law. If the extension of registration of foreign citizens is impossible, they must leave the country.

The responsibility for staying in Russia after the end of the allowed time falls on the shoulders of the citizens themselves. For this violation, the law provides for a fine and deportation from the country with the deprivation of the possibility of a new visit to the state for a period of five years.

What is temporary residence registration?

Registration of a citizen at the place of stay is practically the same as for a regular person. It has exactly the same form - a mark in the passport or in the form of residence (temporary passport).

Registration of foreign nationals at the place of stay is mandatory. The basis for this is the fact that the person has documents confirming the right to use housing in Russia. This may be a lease agreement, voluntary consent of tenants or owners of the premises for the registration (temporary) of an alien.

Is registration of foreign citizens dangerous for the owner of housing?

Registration of foreign citizens at the place of residence affects the interests not only of the visitors themselves, but also of the native inhabitants of the country. And how many myths and stereotypes have developed on this score ... There are rumors that, having registered a foreigner, you can make a lot of problems in the future. Say, and then you can lose housing. In fact, everything is not as scary as they say. No one will take your property from you. If the apartment is in private ownership, then a simplified procedure for registering is possible, unlike the variant with municipal housing. The law allows the owner to dispose of his property, and therefore, to register foreigners - temporarily and permanently. But do not forget that people with a temporary residence permit have the right to register their children (who have not reached adulthood) even without the consent of the owners, without notifying them about it. And this can be fraught with the alienation of housing, especially with long periods of rental premises.

Remember and that in each region has its own design features. We want to note those cases in which the residence is invalid:

1. Housing provided for rent is in pledge, under arrest or is subject to controversy.
2. The room is to be released on the basis of the decision of the relevant authorities.
3. With unauthorized seizure of housing or in the absence of registration of premises in the registration chamber.
4. In a court procedure, a contract that changed the ownership right was invalidated.

If you rent housing and temporarily register foreigners, then do not forget that it is you who are responsible for causing them harm to property (say, neighbors).

In addition, you must inform the local FMS unit about the residence of migrants in your apartment. For not providing such information, you face a fine of up to four thousand rubles. And if you reported to a migration service about a foreigner who is registered with you but does not actually live, it will be considered the provision of false information, which means that it is an offense (a fine of up to 5000 rubles).

When renting an apartment for use by third parties (citizens of a foreign power) and ensuring their temporary registration, information must be submitted to the FMS, including when changing the place of residence. It is the duty of the owner of the house / apartment. In this case, he acts as the host. To minimize their risks, the owners often practice the conclusion of contracts of insurance of civil liability to unauthorized persons for causing possible losses.

Who can be the host?

The process of registration with the Migration Service is essentially informing the FMS service about the arrival of a citizen at the place of registration. It should be remembered that all these actions are carried out by the receiving party. And the migrant himself does not have to go anywhere and spend his time on it. Upon reaching the place of destination, the foreign citizen provides the host country with a passport and migration card, which was completed when crossing the border of the Russian Federation.

So who can be the host? First of all, they are citizens of the Russian Federation, foreigners with residence permits, even legal entities, perhaps their branches, in which a person lives or works. If a guest settles in a hotel, then the administration of the institution is the host. She will notify the guest of the FMS within 24 hours. Registration of foreign citizens, as well as all the necessary actions to take them into account will be on the shoulders of the leadership. The administration of the institution bears full responsibility for the observance by the guests of rules of stay of foreigners in the territory of the Russian state.

The receiving party shall fill out the registration form of the foreign citizen on the documents provided. Then within one day the documents are sent to the FMS unit. For example, by mail. State duty in this case is not provided. In the post offices there are windows, where the receiving side will receive the necessary form. It is provided free of charge. There is also a sample of filling.

Registration of a foreign citizen by the host country ends here.
In the office of the FMS, receiving a package of documents, put a stamp on the receipt of papers and return the tear-off part to the intermediary. And he, in turn, gives it to the guest. The registration form for a foreign citizen, or more precisely, his detachment, is a confirmation of the procedure passed.

A foreign person has the right to inform the migration service about his / her arrival. This is possible if he has documents confirming a valid reason, which prevents the receiving party from forwarding the application himself.

If a foreign citizen permanently lives in Russia, he can also inform himself about his arrival at the place of registration in the bodies of the migration service - with the written permission of the receiving party.

If a person leaves the previous place of residence, and maybe the territory of the country, then the detachment remains with him. The removal of the person from the account for this place will happen automatically. Naturally, then it will be necessary to specify a new place of registration of a foreign citizen (when submitting documents to the FMS). Let's pay attention that the terms of stay on the territory of the Russian Federation depend on the visa.

How to apply for a visa?

If you want to issue a visa in order to have all the grounds for staying in the country, then you need to first get an invitation to Russia. It is issued by the host country. As the last can act: travel agencies, citizens of Russia, an educational institution, an employer (an organization that agrees to take you to work).

An invitation to Russia is issued by the migration service or the Foreign Ministry. Its appearance will depend on the type of visa. There are such variants:

1. Tourist.
2. Business - from an officially registered company.
3. Student - formalized by the university. You should apply for it only to the institution where you will study directly. This is the department dealing with work with foreign students.

A variant is possible when the document is issued by a physical (private) person in the district subdivision of the FMS. To get a transit visa, you do not need an invitation.

There are two options to issue an invitation: telex, original. In the first case, a telegram is sent to the Russian consulate. It indicates the data of the passport, the time and purpose of the trip.

And in the second case, an invitation form is drawn up, which comes from the FMS or the Foreign Ministry. The document is sent to a foreigner so that he can use it for a visa. Special difficulties when drawing up an invitation should not arise. Although, of course, it will take a while.

In what cases can a foreigner refuse to register?

Foreigners may refuse to register at the place of stay in several cases:

1. In the absence of a contract of employment (between the owner and the employer).
2. Wrong contract. Employees of the FMS often pay attention to whether the document is registered in the tax. And on this basis they can refuse. This approach is illegal and incorrect. In this case, officials violate the instructions.
3. There is no consent of the owner for temporary registration of a foreign citizen. It must be in writing. Without it, you can not do without. Employees of the migration service will definitely refuse you. And they will be right in this case, because their demands are legitimate.
4. The presence of a serious illness in a foreign person.

Another popular question that worries migrants: "Can a foreigner work in Russia?"

A foreign citizen who has come to Russia for employment purposes can work only if there is an appropriate permit. In order to register it, you should apply to the territorial division of the FMS at the place of registration. You can do this in person or with the help of an organization engaged in the employment of foreign citizens. A package of documents is submitted, consisting of an application for the issuance of a work permit, a passport, a receipt for payment of a state fee, a migration card with a mark of arrival in the country.

An employee of the FMS accepts the documents and returns a copy of the application with a note that it is accepted. The permit itself is issued in ten days in person, even in the presence of a document proving the identity of the citizen.

If at the time of the application to the FMS the applicant does not have a job, he can find it using the services of a firm that deals with employment issues. In the future, having an employment contract, a foreigner will have legal grounds for extending his stay in the country, but not more than for one year. To do this, contact the FMS with the appropriate application. This should be done at least fifteen days before the expiry of the residence permit. Otherwise, without having completed the documents, you will have to leave the country. In addition, the employer, when entering into a labor contract with a foreigner, must specify the time frame for cooperation. This information is needed in the FMS.

What is important to remember when registering a temporary registration of a foreign citizen?

Let's sum up the above and briefly formulate those basic positions that need to be considered when foreign citizens receive a temporary residence permit:

1. On the territory of Russia without registration, you can stay no more than seven days.
2. The procedure for registration of a temporary residence permit takes only one day.
3. On the account should stand in the office of the migration service, filling out the registration form for a foreign citizen and adding the necessary package of documents.
4. The maximum period of stay in the territory of the Russian Federation is limited to three months.
5. To prolong the temporary registration is possible only if there are valid reasons. If you have reasons to apply for an extension of your stay in the country, you must submit the relevant documents to the FMS in advance.
6. There is a separate category of foreigners who leave their country, saving their lives during the war, revolution, revolution. Such citizens, having arrived to Russia, acquire the status of refugees. It gives people the opportunity to receive certain benefits during their stay in the territory of the Russian Federation until the cessation of hostilities in their state.
7. You can register the registration either personally or through the portal of the State Service, or by using the services of the "Post of Russia".
8. There are reasons why you can refuse temporary registration.
9. Failure to comply with the deadlines and correctness of registration of such a registration fraud is fraught with the imposition of a fine and deportation from the country.
