How to extend the migration card

At the entrance to the Russian Federation from any other country, foreign citizens are issued a migration card. In it, you celebrate the purpose of the trip, the city or the settlement where you are going to live, the receiving side (if any) and the beginning and end of the stay. If you arrived in Russia from the country with a visa-free regime, then you have the right to stay in the Russian Federation within 90 days. To stay over this time, you need to extend the migration card.

Aliens have not so many options how to extend the migration card. Either find a good reason provided for by law, or to go on the border, take a new migration and to call back. The second option is a little risky, as there is no guarantee that it will be given it to you. In accordance with the norms of the law, a foreign citizen may be in Russia 90 days total, every 180 days. But when there are no other options, many use such an opportunity. You can go to the nearest checkpoint by train, bus or car. Many private traders carry out such transportation professionally, their phone can be found on the Internet, and ride a group.

The basis for the extension of the card can serve as medical indications (for example, pregnancy at a later date or resuscitation state, or a direction to a specific medical institution of the country).

Residents of Ukraine, in connection with the latest events, the main institution of the FMS is given to freely extend migration cards. For this you need:

master documents: passport and ownership of the apartment;
your passport and migration card;
certificate of the birth of a child (if necessary).

However, it is worth considering that in practice, not all units of the FMS go to the meeting of such a government initiative, refusing to extend. If you refuse to extend the migration card without valid reason, complain! Official site of the President of Russia Allows you to send an ordinary or email to its address. Here you can find the contacts of the receptions, phone details and the number for SMS messages for which you can find out your question. Respect your rights - defend them!

Next option to extend stay in the Russian Federation - get RVP. Extend the migration card no longer need. You can apply for RVP by quota or outside the quota. The legislation provides that, to apply for RVP by quota, anyone who wishes can only refuse to adopt documents only if the quotas are exhausted. Familiarize yourself with the list of persons who are put on the RVP outside the quota, you can here. Apply a petition immediately at the entrance to Russia, since the term of consideration is from 30 days to six months.

The last legal way to extend the migration card is the official apparatus employed or admission to study in the Russian Federation. Contact your relevant documents to the FMS Department at the Registration Place, your stay will be extended for the term of the contract.

Despite the fact that the Government of the Russian Federation attempts to simplify the official design of foreigners and the adoption of the citizenship of the Russian Federation, in fact, not always to extend the migration card is not always simple. Much depends on the human factor. If you are faced with unfair appeal, please inform the relevant higher state structures. Good luck!
