For a foreigner planning to work, open a bank account, or run a business in Russia, obtaining a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN, or INN in Russian) is the first mandatory step. This 12-digit code is your primary financial identifier for all interactions with the state.
Self-processing of a TIN involves bureaucracy, the risk of errors in the application, and a significant waste of time. The "TIN for Foreigners - Turnkey Service" from Confidence Group eliminates this hassle: we take on the entire process – from consultation to receiving the number.
Why Does a Foreigner Need a TIN in 2026?
-
Employment: An employer cannot officially hire you without your TIN.
-
Bank Account: All Russian banks require a TIN to open an account.
-
Business: Registering as a Sole Proprietor (IP) or a Limited Liability Company (OOO) is impossible without the TIN of the foreign founder.
-
Real Estate and Vehicles: Purchasing and registering property rights require providing your TIN.
-
Tax Deductions: A TIN is necessary to receive a tax refund (for example, when buying property).
Why Is It Difficult to Obtain a TIN Independently?
The procedure depends on your legal status (Work Patent, Temporary Residence Permit (TRP), Permanent Residence Permit (PRP)), which affects the required document list.
-
Errors in the Application: Incorrect translation of your name or address in Form No. 2-2-Accounting leads to rejection.
-
Complex Filing Process: You need to know exactly which local tax office (Federal Tax Service, FTS) or MFC to apply to.
-
Waiting Times: Certificate issuance takes up to 5-10 working days, plus time spent in queues and correcting mistakes.

Key Questions
-
How long does it take to get a TIN for a foreign citizen?
When applying directly to the tax office, the standard processing time is up to 10 working days. Through an MFC, it may take 1-2 days longer. With our assistance, the electronic number is often ready in 2-3 days. -
Is permanent registration (propiska) required to get a TIN?
No. A foreign citizen can register for tax purposes at their place of actual residence or at the location of real estate they own in Russia. -
Can a foreigner get a TIN online?
Yes, through the FTS website, but this requires a verified Gosuslugi (Government Services) account or a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES). We can assist with this preliminary preparation as well. -
Does the TIN change upon obtaining a TRP, PRP, or citizenship?
No. The 12-digit TIN is assigned once and for life and does not change when your status, surname, or address changes. -
What documents are needed to apply for a TIN as a foreigner?
The core package consists of your foreign passport with a notarized translation and a document granting the right to stay (Migration Card, Work Patent, TRP, PRP). -
What should I do if I lost my TIN certificate?
You can obtain a duplicate certificate or an extract confirming your tax registration. We can also assist with the restoration of this document. -
Are a TIN for a foreign citizen and SNILS the same thing?
No, they are different documents. A TIN is a tax number, while SNILS is a pension insurance number. Both are often required for employment. -
Is it mandatory to get a TIN if I am in Russia as a tourist?
No. A TIN is only necessary for official activities: work, conducting business, purchasing property, or opening a bank account.
