Migration registration of foreigners: normative acts

According to the law, in 2021, representatives of foreign states are required to register at their place of residence if they come to Russia for a long time. So the Migration Service on behalf of the state can control the movement of foreigners within the country.

Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 881. Describes the regulations for the provision of services for the registration of foreign citizens from government agencies, and also tells how exactly and in what time period a foreigner must notify the authorities of the Russian Federation about his arrival in the country;
ФЗ №163. It entered into force in July 2018 and contains some changes that have occurred in the Federal Law on the migration registration of foreigners and stateless persons. The law specifies where a foreigner can live and who is entitled to be the host.

Purposes of migration registration of foreigners

The law defines several goals that are fundamental in the implementation of migration registration of citizens from abroad. This:

Collection of up-to-date information on the movements of foreigners within the country and keeping statistics;
Development and implementation of state policy to maintain the migration order;
Planning for the growth of the population living in the Russian Federation;
Protecting the rights of Russians and foreign citizens who live within the country by neutralizing prohibited migration;
Creation of a favorable atmosphere for the exercise of the rights and fulfillment of duties entrusted to foreign guests.

Procedure and terms of registration of a foreigner in the Russian Federation

After entering the Russian Federation, every foreigner must declare himself to the FMS employees at the place of stay. The rule is relevant if he plans to stay in Russia for more than 7 days.

A citizen must register before the expiration of a week after crossing the border. The exceptions are:

Citizens of Tajikistan: time frames are defined for them at 15 days;
Guests from the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Belarus): they are given a month for official registration.

If a visitor is staying at a hotel or sanatorium in order to undergo treatment, the temporary registration of a foreign citizen is drawn up by representatives of the institution's administration.

Host obligations

To begin with, it is worth finding out who is suitable as a host for a foreigner. It can be any Russian or foreigner with a residence permit who is familiar with the visiting citizen. Also, the host party can be a legal entity for which the migrant plans to work.

A visitor does not need to independently request registration. After arriving, it is enough for him to hand over his passport and other documents to the receiving person.

Then the receiving party takes over, whose representative is obliged to:

Notify the migration service about the crossing of the Russian border by a foreigner;
Fill out the registration form for a newly arrived citizen;
Send registration documents to the FMS department.

After receiving the package of documents, the responsible person will be handed a tear-off part of the registration form, which will need to be handed over to the foreigner. This concludes the list of tasks that are entrusted to the host citizen.

Important! A migrant has the right to independently declare his arrival to the FMS employees. But in this case, he must documentarily confirm a valid reason that prevented the inviting person from submitting an application for registration on his own.

Instructions for temporary registration of a foreigner

The algorithm for registering a foreigner for migration registration within the borders of the Russian Federation consists of several steps and looks like this:

A citizen leaves his home country and enters Russia. At the border, he is given a migration card, which will be needed for the further procedure;
The receiving person draws up an application for the arrival of a foreigner and submits it to the state structure in a convenient way;
During the check, the employee examines the documents of the foreigner, after which he puts a seal on the form and hands it the detachable part to the receiving person;
Part of the form is handed over to the foreigner, after which he can 90 days be officially located in the Russian Federation. At the end of the period, registration is extended, if not, the foreigner leaves the territory of the Russian Federation.

Previously, citizens who worked on a patent did not need to issue and regularly renew short-term registration. In 2019, the rules have changed: now patent holders are extending migration registration by analogy with other foreign guests.

Where to apply for registration

The host is offered several institutions through which it is possible to register a foreigner at the address of residence. This:

Residence permit card or TRP;
Lease agreement, according to which a foreigner has the right to live in the provided apartment.

The list of papers from the receiving party depends on whether it is an individual or a legal entity. In the second case, the foreigner is knowingly finding a job. The responsibility is greater, therefore the receiving person will have to collect more documents.

Otherwise, the employer is not allowed to hire foreigners and temporarily register them in Russia.

Filling out the notification form

The notification form and a sample for filling it out are issued at the FMS branch or by mail. It can also be downloaded online at the 77.mvd.rf website.

When filling out the notification, the person in charge will need to enter information on three key points:

Data of a foreign citizen;
The place and address where he will live;
Information about the receiving party.

The following requirements are imposed on filling out the document:

At the end of the application, the inviting citizen certifies the accuracy of the data and consent to the residence of the foreign guest on his living space. To do this, he puts a personal signature. If the migrant is registered by a company, the notification is certified by the responsible employee.

Processing time and cost

The Government of the Russian Federation does not provide for any state duties for registration of temporary registration for a foreigner. According to the law, documents are accepted and considered free of charge, and a temporary certificate is issued within 3-8 days. Payment of 216 rubles will be required only if the documents are sent by mail.

But it also happens that a foreigner cannot find a host in Russia who agrees to register him on his living space. In this case, the migrant can go to a real estate agency, which, for an additional fee, will find a temporary residence address for him. The service of such intermediaries costs from 4500 rubles for a 3-month registration.

Important! Care should be taken when choosing an intermediary for registration. There is a risk of encountering scammers who offer fake temporary registration documents.

How to renew temporary registration

Temporary registration is usually valid for 90 days. A week before its end, a foreigner can request an extension of the document. But stay in Russia for a period longer than 3 months a migrant can only if there is a good reason.

For instance:

A work permit has been issued;
A foreign citizen entered a federal university;
A migrant cannot leave Russia for health reasons, which is confirmed by a medical certificate.

The renewal application is submitted in the same way as the initial application. Additionally, you need to attach documents proving the need to stay in the country.

If there is no reason to renew the registration, the foreigner must leave the country. Otherwise, he will have to pay a fine and put up with deportation, after which he will be banned from entering the state. for a period of 5 years.

Migration registration of foreign minors

Children of foreigners entering the Russian Federation with their parents go through the procedure according to the same principle. The receiving party is obliged to promptly send a message to the UVM of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the foreign child has arrived in the territory of the Russian Federation and will temporarily stay on his living space.

Important! A legal entity cannot put a minor on the migration register and register him at his legal address. The inviting party in this situation can only be an individual.

Violation of migration registration and fines

A foreigner who did not take into account the rules of entry into Russia and did not timely file an application for the issuance of temporary registration is recognized as a violator.

According to the law, violations also include:

Loss of certificate of short-term registration;
Presence on the territory of the Russian Federation with an expired document;
Untimely renewal.

Administrative liability for non-compliance with the law threatens both the migrant himself and the inviting person.

For a visitor, it is expressed in two types of punishment:

Payment of a fine in the amount of from 2000 to 5000 rubles... according to the area of location;
Deportations from the territory of the Russian Federation with a further ban on entry for 5 years.

The punishment for the inviting party depends on whether a legal entity is responsible or an individual:

Individuals pay a fine from 2,000 to 4,000 rubles;
Officials - fine from 35,000 to 70,000 rubles;
Employer - from 400,000 to a million rubles.

In addition to paying a fine, the violating enterprise may face suspension of activities for up to 90 days.

The most important thing for a foreigner who wants to come to Russia and stay for a long time in the country is to find a host who is ready to provide him with a temporary place of residence. This can be an acquaintance, relative, or employer. If it was not possible to find a guarantor, it is advisable to contact an intermediary firm. But it is worth remembering that you need to make a temporary registration within 7 days after crossing the border of the Russian Federation.
