Vladimir Putin signed the draft legislation providing for the simplification of issuing permits for temporary residence in Russian Federation to certain categories of foreigners. The document is published on the official Internet legal portal. The legislation was introduced to the consideration of State authorities. 

According to the Russkiy Mir, the period for consideration of applications for issuance of temporary residence permits, according to the draft law, is reduced from six months to four months. For certain categories of foreigners, it is possible to obtain permits without a quota. This provision will affect those who were born on the territory of our country or married Russian. It also applies to participants in the state program of resettlement of compatriots, refugees and those who received temporary asylum in Russia. 

The bill assumes the possibility of obtaining a perpetual residence permit. 

The document will increase the number of foreigners who can obtain a residence permit without a temporary residence permit. This list will include those born in the territory of the RSFSR and who had Soviet citizenship in the past, deported from the Crimean Autonomous Union Republic and their relatives in a straight line. A residence permit will also be available to children born in Russia who have been adopted by foreigners.
