RVP without quota under Decree No. 702
If you’re planning to apply for a Temporary Residence Permit (“РВП” – RVP) in Russia, it’s crucial to prepare the necessary documents properly. Below is a detailed list of the required documents for your application.
The application specifies the basis for the issuance of the RVP without considering the quota—reasons outlined in paragraph 1 of the Presidential Decree of the Russian Federation dated 19.08.2024, No. 702.
The required documents for application process in Russia are:
- Application in 2 copies (document stamp – double-sided)
- 22 photographs measuring 35 x 45 mm, in black-and-white or color, with a clear image of the face without a head covering.
- Migration card (tear-off notification form)
- Passport
- Document confirming permanent residence in the country from the list (if no citizenship is present)
- Birth certificate
- Marriage or divorce certificate, documents or certificates about name, surname, or patronymic changes, if applicable.
- Document issued by the competent authority of the country of permanent residence not more than 3 months before the application date, confirming the applicant’s criminal record status (for visa-required countries, from 14 years old).
- Medical certificates
- State duty of 1920 rubles
Important Notes for Document Preparation:
- All the listed documents must be presented as photocopies along with the originals.
- Documents in a language other than Russian submitted with the application must be translated into Russian.
- The accuracy of the translation or the authenticity of the translator’s signature must be notarized.
- Documents issued by the competent authority of a foreign state must be either legalized or apostilled, if those documents are not recognized in the Russian Federation under international agreements.
All official documents in a foreign language from countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention must be prepared in three steps:
- Certification (legalization) with an apostille stamp
- Translation of the original document and apostille stamp into Russian.
- Notarization of the translation accuracy into Russian at the Russian consulate or notarization of the translator’s signature at a notary office in Russia.
