A residence permit in Russia, which was previously issued for five years, from November 1 acquires an unlimited status, according to RIA Novosti. In this case, the period for consideration of the application will decrease by one and a half times - from 6 to 4 months. In addition, the decision will be made on the basis of only three documents, whereas eight documents required earlier.
The circle of foreigners who can apply for a residence permit without the need to obtain a temporary residence permit has also increased.
One of the most serious changes will be an increase in the list of categories of citizens who can obtain a temporary residence permit outside the quota established by the state. The previous limit was about eighty-four thousand people.
Note that on October 1, a change in the legislation on obtaining citizenship, concerning foreign specialists who want to obtain a Russian passport in a simplified manner, came into force. Previously, a specialist working in a profession from the list of the Ministry of Labor of Russia had to work in the country for three years in order to obtain the right to apply for a passport in a simplified manner. Now the term will be reduced to a year. The Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that the innovation will help attract more qualified personnel to Russia in various fields.
