Many foreign citizens and their employers are thinking about how to simplify their stay in Russia: live and work legally, but at the same time not spend large sums of money on documents every month.

So let's compare two documents - labor patent and a temporary residence permit. Both of these documents allow you to live and work in Russia. Which is more profitable?

Validity: You can only work in Russia for the period for which you have paid the monthly patent tax. This period cannot exceed 12 months. After the first year, a foreign citizen can submit documents in advance for renewal of the patent or leave the territory of the Russian Federation.

Special conditions:

• You can only work in the profession specified in the patent. If a foreigner wants to work in a different profession, he must apply for a new patent;
• You can only work in the region for which the patent was issued. To work in another region, a foreign citizen can apply for a second patent, but he will have to pay for both. Or he can also contact the UMC with an application to change the data.

Relations with the employer: After receiving a patent, a foreigner has two months to find an employer. A foreign citizen can work in several places at the same time or change employers. In this case, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with each employer and send a notice about it. If a foreigner has been fired from his job, he has two weeks to find a new employer.

Special conditions:

• issued on the grounds for obtaining this status or within the limits of the annual quota;
• a foreigner has the right to work in any profession;
• a foreigner can only work in the region for which the temporary residence permit was issued. If he wants to change the region of validity of the temporary residence permit, he will have to submit an application indicating the reason for the change.

Registration: After receiving a temporary residence permit, a foreign citizen must complete registration within 7 working days. After this, he has the right to freely travel outside the Russian Federation; upon return, re-registration is not required.

Our clients, who initially worked under a patent, but then received a temporary work permit, say that the temporary work permit is much more convenient and profitable. This document saves money, which is spent on completing all documents, and time. And also nerves, because... After receiving a temporary residence permit, it is much easier for a foreigner to work and fewer documents are required.

If you want to live and work freely in Russia without unnecessary loss of time and money, then we recommend obtaining a temporary residence permit rather than a patent.

Moving to Russian Federation for foreign citizens it takes place in several stages. Before applying for a residence permit and applying for citizenship of the country, you should start by obtaining a temporary residence permit. However, during the period of validity of the document, the foreigner wishes to find a job. Is it possible to work with RWP or will a patent for the work also have to be issued?

The first step is to define this document.

What is RVP

A temporary residence permit is issued to a migrant as interim documentation between his arrival and the application for a residence permit. This is actually a stamp in your passport. foreign citizen or a separate certificate if we are talking about persons without citizenship.

The permit is valid for three years and cannot be renewed. During this period, the migrant needs to legalize his status, otherwise he will have to go to his native state. Who has the right to own such paper? An application for temporary status can be submitted by:

1. Adult representatives of other states who are located on the territory of the Russian Federation.
2. Adult representatives of other countries located outside of Russia.
3. Persons without determination of nationality who petition for a minor or incapacitated foreigner.

In this case, the applicant for a temporary residence permit must provide information about the housing in which he will register. Belarusians, Turkmens and highly qualified specialists can bypass this stage and immediately apply for a residence permit.

Privileges of the holder of a permit stamp:

1. Providing free medical care along with Russians.
2. No obligation to serve in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
3. The right to have a TIN.
4. Repeated visits to the Motherland. He can stay abroad for no more than six months, otherwise the temporary residence permit may be cancelled.

RVP and work

The legislation has changed several times regarding this issue. Until 2007, everyone got a job without additional paperwork. In 2007, it was decided that a temporary residence permit only gives the right to residence, and for hiring, a patent must be obtained. Is it possible to work with temporary residence permits in Russia today? Yes, and the key advantage of such paper is that now there is no need to obtain additional patents for employment. Hiring such employees is permitted both under an employment contract and under a civil law contract.

The only restriction that applies to the device is regional binding. If a foreigner has acquired a temporary residence permit, for example, in Ryazan, then he should look for an employer there. If he intended to go to work in Moscow, then the temporary residence permit had to be obtained in Moscow.

Work permit

To be hired in a region other than the place of residence, the migrant must go to the Federal Migration Service. To be eligible for employment, he must provide the following set of documentation:

1. National passport with mark.
2. Written request.
3. TIN, if it has already been received.
4. Certificate of knowledge of the Russian language.
5. Medical insurance policy.
6. Confirmation of health status.
7. Receipt of payment of the fee for issuing a patent.

According to the new rules, a certificate of language proficiency has become a mandatory document. It contains the full name of the person taking the exam and the seal of the institution that accepts it. Only an educational institution that is endowed with this right can administer the exam. The migrant pays for the test - a little more than 5 thousand rubles. It is worth considering that in addition to language skills, he will be required to have minimal knowledge of Russian history and jurisprudence.

Without this, the employer does not have the authority to accept an emigrant for a position in a region other than receiving a temporary residence permit. This will be regarded as illegal employment. Of course, those who settle in their region are not required to take the exam. But when applying for a residence permit or citizenship, a certificate will still be required.
