Temporary Residence Permit (TRP)
We help assess your route to a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) and prepare the documents for submission. The documents and steps depend on your circumstances and the legal basis for applying. A Russian language, history and law exam is required in most cases, but exemptions may apply. A consultation can help identify the route and explain what is needed.
How We Can Help
Understanding the TRP
The TRP is a legal status granted to foreign citizens that permits them to reside in Russia for a fixed term. It is a crucial milestone for those looking to eventually obtain Permanent Residency or Citizenship.
Unlike a standard visa, a TRP allows you to exit and re-enter the country multiple times without additional paperwork, provided you maintain your registration.
Legal Rights
Grants you the right to work in the specific region of your registration without a separate work permit.
Healthcare
Eligibility for Free Compulsory Medical Insurance (OMS) at state polyclinics and hospitals.
