An officially notarized translation of every foreign document… and yes you need to pay for all this… and yes the quotes by famous Americans in a US passport must be translated! (I recommend these people, they work cheap and the government accepts their translations, tell them Tim sent you).In order to immigrate you must provide the government the following… The process for filing for anything related to immigration is nothing like this. All you have to do is fill out some forms sloppily, pay a fee, get a picture taken, and you are off to visit the country for roughly a month. Russia gives out tourist visas like candy. Once you start the immigration process you will see that the spirit of the law reflects the spirit of this expression. There is an old Russian expression, that says “you were born where you’re in need” (Где родился, там и пригодился) which basically means that you were born in China, Africa, Canada or wherever for a reason, and you should stay there.

Visiting Russia is easy, immigrating is not!
You dunno jamaican registration#
Not having registration is a crime, which, if repeated enough times, is cause for deportation. For me personally, establishing a permanent address was the hardest box to check. Would you rent your house to someone who could then say they have squatter’s rights over it?Īlso most landlords do not pay taxes, so they will not register you to dodge the tax authorities. you need to establish a permanent address, but due to the fact that this registration gives the registered person some rights over the property, few landlords will do this. To immigrate you need to be registered at a place of residence, i.e. You need a residency permit to live in Russia This means that you are probably going to get married here while on a tourist visa that doesn’t last long, so instead of going on your honeymoon, you should immediately take a romantic getaway to the immigration center(s) in your region to start the bureaucracy, because time is burning quickly and the immigration process could (and probably will) take months.

Once you are here and married, you’ve got to act quickly Maybe that is true, but I have never seen it work for anyone that I know.

Russians always tell me that you can pay 5000 euros to a hot shot lawyer to buy your way into the immigration quotas. The government wants people who immigrate here to start families and have children - which I agree with, but if you are already married to a native of your country or happy being single, then, well… no immigration for you! Marriage to a Russian citizen guarantees you the opportunity (note I said opportunity, as in the chance) to apply for a Temporary Residency Permit. Besides making a massive contribution to the Russian economy or being a close friend of the President there is no way you are getting around this quota, which gets instantly filled in just a few days after new years (when the quota is renewed). Last time I checked, the titanic 16 million-strong Moscow allows 5,000 people per year to immigrate without being married to a Russian citizen. Every region of Russia has a tiny immigration quota.
