The application for a residence permit is the first document that must be submitted in order to obtain a new status in the country. A sample of filling out a residence permit is important for getting acquainted with all the nuances of the document by example and its faster processing.
What is a residence permit and why is it needed
Residence permit - a residence permit is an official document in the form of a small booklet, similar to a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, which allows a foreigner to live in the country for more than 90 days, work freely, study, conduct personal business, use the services of free medicine and, if necessary, receive benefits from the state in the form of assistance for childcare, pensions and other things.
Registration of a residence permit is important for obtaining citizenship: only with a residence permit does a migrant have the right to apply for the status of a citizen of the Russian Federation.
You can do without a residence permit only if the migrant does not plan to stay in the country for more than 3 years, which is allowed with the status of RVP (temporary residence permit), and is not going to obtain Russian citizenship. Unlike RVP, with a residence permit, you can count on the help of the state, benefits and mortgages from some banks.
When to apply for a residence permit
You can officially apply for a residence permit only after 1 year from the receipt of the RVP. However, in practice, with a special desire, an application for a residence permit can be carried after six months, since the appeal and a package of papers will be considered for 6 months, so formally all deadlines will be met.
Documents for the extension of the residence permit should be submitted no later than six months before the expiration date of the previous one. If the residence permit ends after 5 months, the applicant will most likely not receive the extension documents, and the migrant will be forced to start his path to citizenship from the very beginning.
Where to go
Traditionally, all migration issues are resolved in the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (also known as the Federal Migration Service and the Federal Migration Service). An application for renewal of a residence permit is also filed here.
Here you can take a form or a residence permit application form. At the booth in the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs there is usually a sample of filling out a residence permit with all the nuances of filling out a document in the migration service of this city or region.
Do I need to contact intermediaries
Employees of the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often send applicants to receive an application form for a residence permit in organizations opposite the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, citing the lack of blank forms. When a foreigner turns to these organizations, it turns out that it is simply impossible to get the form.
Intermediary companies fill out an application form for a migrant in accordance with the data from his documents, help him in collecting the necessary papers, since they have a list, and provide a short consultation if possible. Assistance in paperwork will cost the applicant money.
Contacting this kind of company is completely optional. In the application form there are no supernatural questions to which you would not know the answers, since there are no right answers, except for simply truthful ones, and all questions must contain answers strictly about the applicant.

These papers can be found at the booth at the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the Internet, or at the Russian consulate if you are filing papers at home.
