Any foreign citizen who comes to Russia for temporary or permanent residence must correctly draw up different permits to stay in the country. Even if a foreigner enters into an official marriage with a Russian woman, this does not serve as a basis for permanent residence in the country. Therefore, under such conditions, RWP is issued for marriage. A temporary residence permit allows a person to stay legally in any region of the country.
Permission concept
A temporary residence permit (RVP) is presented by a document granting a foreigner the right to stay legally in the Russian Federation for three years. It is issued only if there are good reasons, therefore, it is often requested to marry by a marriage. The presence of official relations with a Russian woman is a legal basis for living in the country.
The presence of a RVP cannot be equated to citizenship of the Russian Federation, but using this document, you can continue the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship.
Process requirements
Getting RWP on marriage is possible only after the official marriage. It does not matter if the union was concluded in Russia or a foreign country. This is due to the fact that even marriages concluded in another country are recognized in the Russian Federation.
If the newlyweds want to live in Russia after marriage, it is advisable to conclude a marriage directly in the Russian Federation.
Getting RWP by marriage is considered the easiest and fastest way to complete this document. But if representatives of state bodies suspect that the marriage is fictitious, then citizens will be held accountable, and the previously issued permit will be revoked.
Conditions for registration
RWP for marriage in Russia is issued upon the satisfaction of certain requirements. These include:
- the presence of an officially registered marriage with a Russian citizen, moreover, the process can be carried out in the Russian Federation or in another state, but all norms applicable in Russia must be observed;
- the marriage certificate has a mark confirming the legality of this procedure;
- Before registering a marriage, a Russian citizen must confirm the citizenship of the Russian Federation.
These requirements will be checked by the FMS employees before issuing the RWP. Therefore, if the conditions are not met, then permission is not issued.
Nuances for Ukrainians and Moldavians
For residents of countries belonging to the former CIS, a simplified procedure for obtaining citizenship is proposed. For Ukrainians, such a scheme is now banned after the conflict escalates. This has led to changes in migration policy.
With a simplified procedure, the amount of time that has to be spent on processing various permissions and documents is significantly reduced.
Marriage requirements
RWP for marriage in Russia is issued only when some requirements are taken into account:
- if registration is performed in another state, then the procedure must comply with the requirements of the RF IC;
- when registering a marriage in Russia, it is important to make sure in advance that the foreigner does not have a wife in his native country;
- the conclusion of the union must be legal; therefore, there are no signs that the marriage is fictitious.
Often, Russian women marry foreigners for a certain monetary reward, who, due to this, can issue a RVP. After that, they will not have problems with obtaining Russian citizenship. Exposing such a relationship is quite difficult, but in practice such cases occur.For this, an inspection is carried out by the FMS staff. Therefore, citizens must live in the same territory, as well as neighbors must confirm that there really is a family relationship between them.
Benefits
Making RWP on marriage has many advantages. These include:
- You do not need to wait until a quota is allocated for submitting documentation;
