Obtaining TRP by marriage with a citizen of the Russian Federation

Today, many are interested in obtaining RVP in different ways. For some, there are state quotas, while others are trying to get around these paths and have benefits in the form of documents provided. In fact, this is not very simple, because only certain categories of persons, designated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, can receive benefits. Among the lucky ones who can receive a temporary residence permit without a quota are those persons who are legally married to a citizen of the Russian Federation. But for this it is necessary to collect a list of relevant documents.

Obtaining a temporary residence permit in connection with marriage is perhaps the easiest way to obtain a TRP for all quotas. The basis is the international legal principle of the unity of families.

Thus, documents that confirm a legal marriage can speed up. Naturally, in the future it will develop into a residence permit, and then into citizenship - with the correct organization of the submission of documents.

Conditions for marriage

The marriage of a Russian citizen and a foreign resident does not provide for strict conditions for its registration. You can get married both on the territory of the Russian Federation and abroad - this will not affect the possibility of obtaining a temporary residence permit in Russia. The legislation implies that the reason for obtaining a TRP for a foreign citizen is the desire to start a family and live on the territory of the Russian Federation. However, there are a number of nuances that you should be aware of when entering into a marriage:

  • marriage requirements of both states must be observed. Basically, this is the age of marriage, the written consent of the parents. If the current rules of one country are violated, marriage cannot be considered legal in that territory;
  • if the marriage took place in another country, then this document must have a legalization mark;
  • if the marriage is concluded on the territory of the Russian Federation, then the foreign citizen must have a document indicating that this person is not married abroad. The validity of this certificate is 3 months, after which it must be issued again.
  • if the marriage was performed according to a religious rite or a kind of ritual, bypassing the registration in the registry office, then such a marriage has no legal grounds to be considered valid on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Deadline for obtaining RVP

The timing of obtaining a TRP can also be different, as a rule, this procedure takes from two to six months. Accordingly, if the applicant who wants to issue a TRP from a visa-free country - a period of 2 months, and if the applicant is from a visa country - then up to 6 months. This is due to a more thorough check of documents. There are cases when RVP is issued earlier than the specified period, this may be due to the wife's pregnancy. Happened and issued in one day. The main thing is to clearly indicate in the documents the motive for obtaining this permission, in our case, this is the desire to reunite and live with the family.

What documents are needed and what to do next?

The mere desire to move to Russia is not enough, in fact, as well as evidence. In 2017, it takes the most time and hassle in this case. A little later we will tell you how to get rid of this trouble.
