Description
A temporary residence permit is a document that allows a foreign citizen or stateless person to live and work in the Russian Federation for 3 years. A temporary residence permit is issued in the form of a mark in the identity document of a foreign citizen, or in the form of a document of the established form issued in the Russian Federation to a stateless person who does not have an identity document. Obtaining a temporary residence permit is the first step in registering a foreign citizen for permanent residence in the Russian Federation (residence permit for a foreign citizen) or acquiring citizenship of the Russian Federation. A foreign citizen residing in the Russian Federation on the basis of a temporary residence permit has the following advantages: 1. Can freely enter and leave the territory of the Russian Federation. However, a foreign citizen cannot be absent from Russia for more than six months, otherwise the foreigner’s temporary residence permit may be cancelled. In this case, the total stay outside the Russian Federation for more than six months during the calendar year is taken into account (the exception is the impossibility of leaving the territory of a foreign state due to circumstances related to the need for emergency treatment, a serious illness of the foreign citizen, or the death of a close relative who lived with the citizen outside the Russian Federation due to official necessity). 2. Can legally work in the Russian Federation, he does not need to issue permits for carrying out labor activities, such as a patent or work permit. It is worth noting that labor activities can only be carried out in the subject of the Russian Federation in which the foreign citizen is allowed temporary residence. 3. Can register as an individual entrepreneur and officially engage in business. 4. Can obtain a temporary resident visa, allowing you to stay in Russia for three years without leaving (for citizens of countries that have a visa regime with the Russian Federation). 4. No later than 4 months before the expiration of the TRP, has the right to apply for a residence permit in the Russian Federation. A temporary residence permit is issued taking into account the quota approved annually by the Government of the Russian Federation, and can also be issued without taking into account the quota (if a foreign citizen has grounds that allow him to obtain a temporary residence permit in a simplified manner). A foreign citizen temporarily residing in the Russian Federation does not have the right to voluntarily choose his place of residence outside the boundaries of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in whose territory he is permitted temporary residence.
