What does Registration in Russia give to a Citizen of Ukraine?

General rules for registering foreigners

According to existing legislation regarding the registration of foreigners, every new arrival is required to register with the federal migration service within 7 days. For citizens of the countries of Belarus, Armenia, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, different registration deadlines have been established. They are given a period of up to 30 days.

Current legislation places control and obligation on the issue of registration on the receiving party, either an individual or a legal entity.

• An individual is an owner who provides his premises for the residence of a foreigner and himself permanently resides in Russia
• The accommodation facility can be a hotel, inn, sanatorium
• A legal entity – which employs foreigners, having for this purpose premises on the balance sheet of the enterprise, for organizing accommodation, and also which has accreditation to work with foreign citizens

Important! Citizens of Ukraine who arrived on a private visit or for tourism purposes for a period of less than 90 days are exempt from this procedure.

The receiving party prepares a package of documents and applies to the migration service department. The service employee checks the correctness of the documents and gives back the tear-off notification form for registration. This paper is handed over to the migrant, who is obliged to keep it until leaving the country.

Extension of migration cards for refugees in 2020 in the Russian Federation

Temporary asylum status is granted to foreigners by a number of Russian regions, but not all regions have such rules. New deadlines are established on the basis of an application to the migration service upon presentation of a foreign passport and migration card indicating the status of a foreigner - a refugee.

In connection with the difficult political situation in Ukraine, the Migration Service has been instructed by the Government of the Russian Federation to increase the stay of citizens of this country without hindrance when they submit applications.

Attention: Persons with Ukrainian passports should independently pay attention and promptly resolve such issues as obtaining a patent for work and searching for a vacancy.

The same package of papers is submitted for renewal as during the initial registration with the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation of a citizen of Ukraine. It includes a valid international passport, migration card, employment contract or certificates of marriage or birth of children, work permit, and other documents justifying the purpose of staying in Russia.

To employ persons with Belarusian and Kazakh passports, it is not necessary to obtain a work permit. The employer, which is a Russian organization, must provide the migration department with a copy of the employment contract, constituent documents for the legal entity and an application signed by the head of the organization or a person authorized by him, with the seal of the company.

Important: when traveling to the Russian Federation in a visa-free regime, you must register for migration with the authorized body within 7 calendar days. This category includes, in particular, citizens of Uzbekistan. Persons with Tajikistan passports are given 15 days to fulfill this obligation.

For citizens of Ukraine, it is permissible to stay in the Russian Federation for 90 days, for residents of Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan - 30 days. Citizens of Belarus are not required to fill out a migration card when crossing the border.

Validity period for temporary registration

Migration registration is carried out for a maximum of 90 days. If necessary, this period can be extended. As a rule, this requires good reasons: a foreigner is waiting to receive a patent, temporary residence permit or residence permit, admission to a Russian university, etc.

Grounds for extending the period of stay

Citizens of Ukraine have the right, on a general basis, to extend the period of continuous stay on the territory of the Russian Federation, for which they must contact the migration service (GUVM MIA) to re-register for migration for 90 days. However, not everyone will be approved for an extension; the grounds for extending the period of stay of a foreign citizen in Russia are:

Extending the stay of Ukrainians in Russia

The preferential migration regime for persons arriving from Ukraine provides for the possibility of extending registration when the statutory period of 90 days has expired. While the crisis continues in Ukraine, benefits will remain in effect, although the quota for accepting refugees has been reduced in 2020.

To extend their stay in Russia, a citizen of Ukraine is required to contact the federal migration service at their place of residence and submit an application. The application is accompanied by a passport and migration card.

Ukrainians have the opportunity to renew their registration if:

• entered the educational institution.
• Signed a contract for work or acquired a patent.
• Invited as highly qualified specialists.
• Received refugee status.
• We submitted an application for temporary asylum in the Russian Federation.
• Have received a temporary residence permit or have applied for this permit.

When applying for a job, Ukrainian citizens receive the right to extend their period of residence for as long as the employment contract is valid, but in total for no more than one year. Extension of registration is carried out by putting marks on the migration card.

Extension of the validity period of a migration card in Russia in 2020

The card can be extended if you are in Russia and there are grounds for staying in the country. To do this, you need to contact the FMS department at the place of registration and provide with your application a package of documents justifying the legality of your stay in the state. The extension is affixed in the form of a stamp on the form of notification of registration of the address of stay in the Russian Federation.

Extension of a migration card is possible for the following reasons:

• when concluding an employment contract with a Russian organization for a new term;
• making a decision to stay with relatives in Russia who have resident status.

Expert recommendation

In some cases, renewing a migration card requires leaving Russia and visiting it again. If this rule is violated, the FMS will impose an administrative fine in the amount of 5,000 rubles. and forced deportation to their homeland. In some cases, when a foreigner refuses to leave the country on his own, force is used. Extension of a migration card is carried out by submitting an application to the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation with a set of documents justifying the reason for leaving a foreigner for a longer period due to extenuating circumstances.

Extension of a migration card is carried out in the following ways:

1. Obtaining a temporary residence permit (TRP).
2. Registration of a residence permit (residence permit).

The period for which the time spent in the Russian Federation is extended depends on the period of validity of the agreement with the employer. Such an application may be accepted if the validity period of the new contract is at least 1 year from the moment of crossing the Russian state border.

Difficulties in registering Ukrainian citizens for migration

1.Problems with the owner

• Conclusion of a lease agreement, according to which the registering party is obliged to pay personal income tax and attach a copy of the payment slip to the documents;
• The consent of the owners is very difficult to obtain, since many of them may not live in Moscow;
• Waste of time. Everyone has their own business (work, etc.), and submitting documents is only possible during working hours; as practice shows, this process can take the entire working day even if the initial set of documents has been completed correctly.

2.Documents are not drawn up correctly

In 90% of cases, the complete set of documents is not collected or the application is filled out incorrectly. As a result of this, the inspector refuses to register the first (often the second) time. And on every visit you have to wait in huge queues, regardless of the Moscow region.

Registration procedure and deadlines

According to Art. 15 Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 109, registration in Moscow for citizens of Ukraine is mandatory if the foreigner permanently resides at this address. This is done only if the candidate has the right and opportunity to fully use the square meters.

The procedure for temporary registration in Russia for citizens of Ukraine includes the following steps (Article 16 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 109):

• personal application to the migration service at the place of registration (no later than seven calendar days from the moment of crossing the border);
• submission of a complete package of necessary papers;
• confirmation of the consent of the property owner to register the Ukrainian as an apartment;
• putting a mark on registration in house documents, as well as on the migration card.

You can register a migrant only if you provide the following documents:

1. application for registration at the place of residence;
2. international passport;
3. temporary residence permit in the country;
4. confirmation of the right to use living space;
5. migration card.

Depending on the circumstances, a Ukrainian citizen can be registered within 24 hours if all the required certificates are submitted.

30 calendar days are allotted to complete the procedure.

Documents for registration of Ukrainians and hosts

Registration at the place of stay for Ukrainian citizens

Registration at the place of residence of Ukrainian citizens in the Russian Federation is a registration of Ukrainians, which is temporary.

If a citizen of Ukraine has his own housing in Russia, then registration is issued at the location of this object. If there is no real estate in the Russian Federation, registration at the place of residence can be obtained from relatives or friends.

It is important to know that the owner of the residential premises where a citizen of Ukraine is registered can be not only a citizen of the Russian Federation. Consent to temporary registration of a Ukrainian in his home can be given by a foreign citizen who has a residence permit in the Russian Federation.

Also, the owner of the property can be a legal entity in which a Ukrainian citizen gets a job. In addition, temporary registration can be done at a hotel, sanatorium, medical institution, etc. The place of registration is related to the purpose of arrival, which is indicated on the migration card.

Migration registration of Ukrainian citizens in the Russian Federation

1. Upon entering Russia, a Ukrainian receives a migration card, the main document for staying in Russia for no more than three months.

2. The receiving party must fill out a notification form about the arrival of a foreign citizen at the place of stay and submit it to the FMS in person, through the post office or through the MFC.

3. The Federal Migration Service checks the correctness of completion, the presence of documents and accepts the notification of the arrival of a foreigner and enters the provided information into the database, after which it makes a note about acceptance of the notification on the detachable part of the form and returns it to the receiving party.

4. The receiving party gives the received detachable part of the notification form with a mark from the FMS about acceptance of the notification to the foreign citizen.

After 90 days, a foreign citizen must either renew registration for existing reasons, or leave the Russian Federation for 3 months. There is no need to send a notice of departure of a foreign citizen, since this information is automatically entered into the FMS database when a foreigner leaves Russia.

Features of issuing migration cards in the Russian Federation in 2020 for citizens of Ukraine

For foreigners entering Russia on a temporary basis, a migration card is issued with a limited validity period. The validity period can range from 3 days to several years, depending on the reason for visiting the country.

For persons arriving in Russia without a visa, the validity of the card is determined on a 90/180 basis. This means that you can stay in the country for a full 90 days within six months with the possibility of traveling – on a multiple basis, or for one trip. When returning to the Russian Federation, a summed time calculation is made several times.

If 90 days are exhausted, but on a visa based on a migration card, entry through the border control point will be prohibited. You will need to contact the Russian consular office in Ukraine to obtain a new visa permit. In case of violation of the migration rule, visiting the Russian Federation will be prohibited for several years and a fine will be imposed. Such foreign persons will face administrative proceedings and expulsion from the territory of the state if this violation is discovered while in Russia.
