Follow up our news, we inform you that the President of Russia signed Federal Law No. 270-FZ dated 01.07.2021 "On Amendments to the Federal Law" On the Procedure for Exiting Russia and Entry into Russia "and Article 5 of the Federal Law" On the Legal Status of Foreign citizens in Russia ", according to which, in particular, as we have already written, it will be possible to apply for multiple long-term private visas for up to 1 year to close relatives of Russians.
In this case, close relatives mean:
- spouse;
- parents (adoptive parents);
- children (adopted children);
- spouses of children;
- full and half brothers and sisters;
- grandfathers;
- grandmothers;
- grandchildren.
To obtain this visa for a foreign citizen, a Russian citizen-applicant can submit an application in any form, which must contain the following information: last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth, passport number, registration address or address of actual place of residence of a Russian citizen, as well as the surname, first name, date of birth, citizenship, gender, passport number, visa multiplicity, purpose of travel, requested period of entry, place of intended residence of the invited foreigner and city of visit. Simultaneously with the application, it is necessary to submit the originals of documents confirming the degree of kinship (marriage, birth certificates, etc.), the original internal or foreign passport of a Russian citizen, containing his identification data, as well as the passport of a foreign citizen, a visa application form from the website www.visa .kdmid.ru and payment receipt.
Please note that the period of stay on such a visa is the entire period of validity of the visa, in addition, the obligation to jointly enter the country with a citizen of the Russian Federation who is the inviting party was excluded from the Federal Law.
Changes were made to the original version of Federal Law No. 270-FZ dated 01.07.2021, in particular, an ordinary private visa is issued for a period of only up to three months for emergency treatment or in connection with a serious illness, death of a close relative or in connection with visits to military and civil graves. In this case, the foreign citizen himself applies for a visa.
In addition, it became possible to issue an ordinary work and study visa for family members (spouses and minor children) of a foreign citizen, respectively, working or studying on a work and / or student visa. However, the current List of Travel Purposes used in the registration and issuance of visas to foreign citizens, approved by order of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs of December 21, 2020 N 23235, does not yet contain these purposes.
