Anyone who comes from abroad must be officially registered. Depending on the purpose and length of stay in Russia, there are different mechanisms for registering foreign citizens.
Instructions
Step 1
If a person comes just for a visit or on a business trip, then when filling out a migration card, he must indicate the address at which he will live. If he is staying with you, you will have to contact the Federal Migration Service within 3 working days from the moment of his arrival and temporarily register the foreigner in your living space for a period not exceeding 90 days. In this case, the consent of all homeowners is not required and the house management does not need to be notified. You only have to pay a fee of 180 rubles. Documents can even be sent by mail so as not to waste time in queues. After the departure of a foreign citizen, you must notify the migration service no later than three days later.
Step 2
If the foreigner has received a residence permit valid for three years, he will need to obtain a temporary registration at the place of residence. If your apartment is privatized, then together with a foreigner come to the local department of the Federal Migration Service and write an application. In this case, you need to take with you your passport and the passport of a foreign citizen, as well as a document confirming that you are the owner of this housing. In the event that the apartment is registered in shared ownership, the other owners must give a notarized consent to register the visitor. If you live in an apartment under a social tenancy agreement, you will need to bring with you the certified consent of all citizens registered in this apartment.
Step 3
If a person from another country comes to a permanent place of residence, issue him a permanent registration in the living quarters belonging to you. Contact the migration service with an application, and you will have to indicate the reasons that prompted you to register a foreigner, for example, marriage, an agreement on work or study, and other cases. All this information must be confirmed by appropriate documents.
