Temporary residence permit in Crimea

Residents of foreign countries, including Ukraine, have the right to issue and receive a TRP in Crimea. It provides an opportunity to stay on the peninsula for three years. Subject to legal acts, citizens of Ukraine in the future have the right to apply for a residence permit.

Which of the Ukrainians can count on the TRP. Grounds for obtaining a RVP

RVP is provided to a Ukrainian once. Not issued again. Therefore, after issuing a TRP, a foreigner must submit an application for a residence permit. Then he has the right to become a citizen of Russia.

If the permit is not legalized, the foreigner will be forced to leave the Russian state.

RVP is less often drawn up as a separate document. More often, the passport of a citizen of Ukraine is stamped with a size of 100x75 millimeters (according to Order No. 214 of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation of April 22, 2013). It is affixed to government agencies in the presence of a foreigner. Information about the RVP is reported to the GUFM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The acquisition of RVP is carried out in two ways:

1. On a privilege (the so-called quota);
2. Without her.

Each year, the Government of the Russian Federation determines the benefits for the purchase of RVP. They are scattered across the constituent entities of the federation in interconnection from:

• Density of the living population;
• Economic development;
• Demographic conditions.

For 2021, the RVP was allocated more than 83 thousand quotas, of which for the Republic of Crimea - 1500. The quota is valid for one year. If the benefits are exhausted, the acceptance of applications is suspended until the next year.

For some categories of Ukrainians, the TRP is provided without quotas. These include:

• Born in the RSFSR and the USSR;
• Those who have expressed a desire to serve under a contract in the Russian Federation;
• Spouses of Russian citizens;
• Persons with a disabled Russian parent;
• Migrants, whose children are citizens of the Russian Federation, but they need guardianship;
• Investors;
• Persons participating in the state program for the resettlement of compatriots;
• Minor children undergoing the procedure with a parent or guardian.
