Residence permit of the Russian Federation - obtain a residence permit in Russia

What is a quota and who has the right to apply for a temporary residence permit without it?

Quotas are the maximum number of temporary residence permits that can be issued annually determined by the government of the Russian Federation in each specific region. For Moscow, for example, 2000 have been allocated.

Persons who can document the following are entitled to receive outside the quota:

- fact of birth in the Russian Federation, including during the existence of the USSR (if the latter was a citizen);

— their incapacity in the presence of capable Russian children,

— presence of an incapacitated Russian parent;

— presence of a minor Russian child;

— the presence of an adult Russian child recognized as incompetent;

— the fact of marriage with a Russian;

- fact of service in the Russian armed forces;

- fact of participation in the resettlement program for compatriots.

In addition, persons investing in the Russian economy have this right (subject to meeting a certain financial threshold).

So, a foreigner who has married a Russian can obtain a temporary residence permit without a quota and, after waiting for the required annual qualification, apply for a residence permit. Since the time frame for consideration of the application is 4 months, you can submit documents 4 months before the expiration of the annual qualification.

Documents for residence permit by marriage

Standard package includes:

— application for a residence permit to the local Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;

— passport with temporary residence permit;

— photo (4 copies)

— proof of the availability of housing (personal or rented) for those who have lived in Russia for more than three years;

An important nuance: in each specific case, an additional set of documents may be required, or vice versa - the list of required papers may be reduced.

If the fact of a fictitious marriage for the purpose of obtaining a residence permit is proven

If a fictitious marriage is detected, local authorities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the prosecutor may file a claim in court.

According to the order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (No. 846 of November 9, 2017), a residence permit is not issued if a foreigner married a Russian for the sole purpose of obtaining a residence permit or citizenship of the Russian Federation, and this marriage was declared invalid by the court.

But usually, if there is a child together, and also if the spouse (Russian citizen) provides proof of her pregnancy from a citizen of another state, the marriage is recognized as valid.
