Notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen. Notification of foreigner's arrival

If it is necessary to enter a person who is not a citizen of the Federation, one of the mandatory documents is the notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen. Without it, the migration service will not put the person on the register, and it will be illegal on the territory of the country.

Who provides the notice

The receiving party must notify the necessary authorities. She also provides visitors with a place to stay. The host party can be both a physical person and a legal entity:

• Russian citizen;
• An organization that provides services to a hotel complex (it can be a hotel, a sanatorium, a campsite, a rest home and similar establishments);
• Legal entity, its branch, representative office.

The notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen is submitted on time, which does not exceed 7 working days from the moment of his arrival. For hotel complexes and entities providing similar services, this period is only 1 day. If a foreigner arrived on the day off, then it is necessary to report on his arrival in the next working day.

Procedure for Notification

How can I inform the relevant department of the FMS that a citizen of another country has arrived to a legal or physical person? This can be done directly in the migration service, or you can simply send the relevant document by mail. In any case, the deadlines must be met. Please note that when sending a notification through the post office, the date of its submission is the outgoing date on the postmark, it must be sent no later than 3 days after the arrival of the foreigner.

In addition to the document itself, which is provided in two copies, the migration service needs copies of the identity card of both the receiving party and the arriving party.

How best to submit documents

Each of the options has its drawbacks. So, getting to the nearest FMS office is not easy. But in this case, the inspector will be able to check whether the form for notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen is correctly filled in, the data on it will immediately fall into the relevant migration service base. The person who brought the document, immediately issued a tear-off stub with a note of receipt. It will need to be handed over to the foreigner.

The mailing is more convenient: you do not have to hang out the queue to the inspector, but you have the risk that the document you filled out with errors, and the employee of the liaison office will not notice this. Because of this, a person does not fall into the FMS base. In addition, from the time of sending the letter and until it is received by the service, it may take another week. At this time, it is desirable to constantly wear a tear-off stub with a stamp, which indicates the sending of papers to the migration service.

Why notice is required

Every foreigner who came to Russia for more than seven days must take up migration registration. The first document - the basis for such a statement - is the notification of the arrival of an alien. In addition to this document, completed and accepted by the migration service, a citizen of another country will need a copy of the passport (or other identity document), namely the pages where such information is indicated:

• Name and surname;
• Place of birth and date;
• The sex of a person;
• citizenship;
• The state in which he lives on an ongoing basis;
• Series and number of the document, the date of its issue.

In addition, it will take a note on crossing the border (it can be delivered in a passport or in a migration card) and a copy of the visa for citizens of countries with which Russia has a visa regime.

Only after the provision of all the necessary documents, a visitor can safely stay in the country without fear of problems.

How to complete the document

As already mentioned, the application for the arrival of a foreign citizen is filled in by the host country. If this is not possible, and this fact can be documented, the person who arrives can take care of these papers. The notification form can be found at post offices or on the Internet. It is filled with a black or blue pen in block capitals. Try to avoid corrections or blots!

Please note that notification of the arrival of a foreign citizen is only filled in Russian. It is necessary to make two copies of this document. If any of the points cause difficulties, it is better to go to the reception in the migration service, where to consult about the correctness of filling in individual graphs. In the same place it will be possible to make sure that the arrived person will be immediately introduced into the corresponding base. If this is not possible, then you can consult with the postal worker.

Features of sending notifications

If you decide not to go to the migration service, and send the document through the post office, then note that the service for receiving this document is paid - its cost is 118 rubles. This amount does not include forwarding and mailing insurance. Taking into account the costs, the price of such a letter can exceed 200 rubles.

However, in this price it is included that the mail worker will check the correctness of filling out the notice, see if all the documents you have enclosed. Also, he will put a stamp on the tear off part of the notice and the migration card: for monitoring services such a mark on the arrival of a foreign citizen is quite suitable. This letter is considered valuable and sent with a list of attachments.

How are the documents filed, if the alien has a residential real estate in Russia or he permanently resides in the territory of the country

It is likely that some citizens of other countries may have housing in the Federation. After all, the right to property is not limited to citizenship. In this case, the foreigner must inform himself about his arrival. At the same time, he provides, in addition to the above documents, papers confirming the right to housing.

A notice of the arrival of a foreign citizen who lives in Russia for a long time can be provided by the person who arrived. To do this, he will need a written agreement for such actions from the host party and a copy of all necessary documents.

Possible sanctions

If the host country decides that the registration of a foreign citizen is not necessary, then this can entail a number of problems, and they will not only have a visitor. The one to whom they came from abroad, bears the administrative responsibility for compliance with migration legislation.

If it is found that a citizen or a legal entity provided an alien who violated the established order or rules of transit through the territory of the country, housing or gave a car for use, they can be fined. The amount of fines for established individuals ranges from 2 to 4 thousand, for officials - from 25 to 30 thousand rubles. For legal entities, sanctions are much tougher, they can pay to the budget from 250 to 300 thousand rubles.

If the receiving party has not fulfilled its obligations under the migration law, it will also be fined. The citizens will be fined from 2 to 4 thousand, officials - from 40 to 50 thousand, and legal can be fined in the amount of 400 to 500 thousand rubles.

The term of stay of the foreigner is indicated in the visa. If he came from a country in which such a regime with Russia is not established, the term can not exceed 90 days for every 180. That is, for six months a foreigner can stay in Russia for only 3 months, and for the remaining time he must leave the country. Of course, for working people with the appropriate permit or patent, there are exceptions.
