Within the adoption of the Federal Law as of December 23, 2010 N385, the changes to the Federal Law as of July 18, 2006 № 109 were implemented.
Starting from February 15, 2011 migration register (registration) of foreign citizens shall be made at their residential address. The rule applies to all foreign citizens entering Russia with private, commercial/business or work purposes.
The procedure of registering of foreign citizens to the address of the legal entity will be no longer available.
The terms of migration register remained the same – 3 working days upon arrival to the host party. The exception is made only for Highly Qualified Specialists and their family members, they can stay on the territory of Russia without registration for 90 days. Information on procedure of Highly Qualified Specialists’ migration register (registration) is available here.
Let us remind you that procedure of migration register (registration) of foreign citizens at a private address forces the owner of the place of living (or officially register in it person, only RF citizen) apply to the Federal Migration Service in person. It is still allowed to send it by post, but anyway in person or by a notary authorized representative.
Registration of foreign citizens at the places owned by the legal entities can be made through a representative with a power of attorney registered by this legal entity.
The procedure of deregistration (putting a foreign citizen from migration register) became simplier. A foreign citizen have to return the tear-off part of the notification of arrival to the authorized person while crossing the Russian border. Most likely it won't be taken away. The fact of the foreign citizen's border cross is considered to be the deregistration procedure itself.
