The timing
The period of validity of the RVP is 3 years. That. the number of required confirmations - 2 (for the first and second years, lived on the basis of a permit). At the end of the third year, confirmation is not required as the permit will automatically terminate and cannot be renewed. By this time, the holder of the RVP must obtain a residence permit, or leave the Russian Federation.
Responsibility for violation of the notification procedure
For violation of the terms of confirmation of residence, the legislation of the Russian Federation provides for administrative liability (Article 18.8 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation), namely:
- Imposition of a monetary fine in the amount from 5 to 7 thousand rubles (for a violation committed within Moscow, St. Petersburg or adjacent regions) and from 2 to 5 thousand rubles. (for other regions of the Russian Federation);
- Administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation (in the context under consideration, this measure is applied only in cases of repeated violation of the procedure for filing a notification within 1 year and / or if the migrant commits other administratively punishable acts).
Liability can be avoided only by presenting evidence of the impossibility of observing the obligation in question for objective reasons (for example, due to prolonged hospitalization).
Annual notification of the state bodies of the Russian Federation about residence under the temporary residence permit is the duty of each holder of this permit. Failure to comply, as well as ignoring this obligation, is fraught with administrative measures for a foreigner - from a minor fine to expulsion from the Russian Federation.
