💢 PURCHASE OF LAND PLOTS FOR HOUSE CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PURPOSES | PART 1

➡️ This service is relevant for foreign citizens who want to buy a land plot:

• for the construction of a residential house or a summer house (dacha), as well as for building a house for rental purposes (including in border territories);

• for engaging in agriculture, placing an industrial facility, etc.

A foreign citizen can buy a land plot for the construction of a residential house with any status: a valid visa, a TRP, or permanent RP.

➡️ Stages of service implementation:

😀 Stage 1: Land plot selection

1. Selection of suitable plots

– Discussion with the Client of requirements for the land plot (location, area, land designation, availability of water supply, gas, sewage, etc.)

– Discussion with the Client about what will be built on the land plot (a house/dacha for personal use; a house for rent; whether the possibility of raising animals is needed; whether registration at the place of residence in the house will be required)

– Selection of several suitable options and approval with the Client

2. Preliminary check

– Communication with Sellers – obtaining information about the object, the degree of readiness to proceed with the transaction, and obtaining the cadastral number

– Checking the plot via the public cadastral map (see the “Important to Know” section below)

– Providing the Client with a list of current plots for viewing (in one location)

How some sellers twist the true information about the plot:
– stating hectares instead of hundred square meters (a difference of 100 times) for the area,
– indicating a different location on the map – e.g., showing it in the center of a settlement when it is not (it is necessary to request the cadastral number and check it on the cadastral map),
– stating a different designated purpose (e.g., indicating individual residential construction instead of agricultural land, etc.),
– other misrepresentations.

All this needs to be checked during the plot selection stage.

3. Personal inspection of the plot

The inspection can be done with the Client or without the Client's participation (if they are abroad or unable to attend).

If without the Client's participation: in this case, a video call can be organized, or photos and videos can be provided via Google Drive.

The trips to the site typically include:

– Communication with the Seller (owner or agent) and preliminary review of documents;

– Inspection of the land plot and its adjacent territories (presence of slope, trees and bushes, assessment of existing structures and the possibility of their use, possibility of access for construction machinery, and much more);

– Communication with neighbors regarding pros and cons (cons may include: presence of noisy neighbors, bad odors, construction restrictions, flooding risks, groundwater level, and much more).

All of the above is highly important for assessing subsequent construction: cost of site clearance, cost of the foundation, etc.

⬇️ CONTINUATION ⬇️

💢 PURCHASE OF LAND PLOTS FOR HOUSE CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PURPOSES | PART 2

😀 Stage 2: Purchase of land plot

1. Document collection and analysis:

– Analysis of property title transition history
– Checking the seller for bankruptcy procedures, debts, arrests, prohibitions
– Verification of cadastral data (area, address, boundaries, etc.)
– Checking for restrictions (permitted use, allowable building density, restrictions due to power lines, gas lines, water protection zones, etc.)

2. Deal preparation:
– Drafting and coordination of the Purchase and Sale Agreement with the Seller
– Review of the Purchase and Sale Agreement if prepared by the Seller
– Negotiating with the Seller a payment method considering client interest protection (letter of credit, bank safe deposit box, notary, other)

3. Submission of documents for deal registration:
– Making an appointment at MFC, with a notary, or using Sberbank's “DomKlik” service

💢 PURCHASE OF LAND PLOTS FOR HOUSE CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER PURPOSES | PART 3

❗️Important to know:

1. Rosreestr is the state body responsible for registering rights to real estate and transactions with it, as well as maintaining cadastral records.

2. Cadastral map – a free web service designed to obtain information about all registered real estate objects (their cadastral boundaries) in the Russian Federation. Maintained by Rosreestr.
Link: https://ik9map.roscadastres.com/map
We obtain the cadastral number from the seller and verify all key parameters of the land plot: area, address, permitted use, cadastral value, etc.

3. Building density is the ratio of the total area of all building floors to the area of the plot on which it is located.
Building density norms depend on the region, territorial zone, and land designation. According to regulations in Moscow Region, the building coefficient should not exceed 40% (but there are exceptions).

4. Land tax rate for land plot owners (regardless of whether foreigner or Russian citizen) – 0.3% of cadastral value. For legal entities, if land is purchased for housing construction, the rate is the same.

5. Types of permitted land use within settlements.
There are several types of permitted land use within settlements: for individual housing construction, for personal subsidiary farming, vegetable gardening, horticulture, dacha construction, etc.
The type of permitted land use affects the possibility of building a house, keeping animals, etc.

6. Purchase of land in border territories for house construction.
According to Presidential Decree No. 26 of January 9, 2011 "On approval of the list of border territories where foreign citizens, stateless persons and foreign legal entities cannot own land plots," foreign citizens cannot purchase land in border territories.

If you want to buy land in border territories (Crimea, Caucasus, Altai, Far East), submit a request – we will advise how to optimally solve this issue in your case.

7. Purchase of agricultural land.
Purchase of agricultural land by foreigners is prohibited – Article 3 of Federal Law No. 101-FZ of July 24, 2002 "On turnover of agricultural lands".

Purchase of agricultural land is possible by legal entities with foreign participation share not exceeding 49%. Purchase of agricultural land requires preliminary notification of the administration. Lease of agricultural land by foreigners is possible.

If you want to engage in farming in Russia and need agricultural land, submit a request – we will advise how to optimally solve this issue in your case. We will help select a suitable location and, if necessary, organize contact with local administration.

8. Purchase of industrial land.
Purchase of industrial land for construction of production facilities, warehouses, and other purposes is possible for foreign citizens and legal entities, including in special economic zones with preferential taxation.

If you need to purchase industrial land, submit a request – we will consult you on how to optimally solve this issue in your case. We can assist in selecting a suitable location and, if necessary, organize contact with local administration.

DIFFICULTIES FOREIGNERS FACE WHEN PREPARING AND SUBMITTING A TRP APPLICATION UNDER DECREE № 702 | PART 1

Lately, we have frequently encountered problems faced by foreigners when submitting documents for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) based on traditional values.

This primarily concerns those who try to do everything themselves, but also includes those who have worked with lawyers.

People come to us with expired documents, refusals from the migration authority, and other issues. They vividly describe their experiences at migration centers, medical institutions, banks, etc.

We truly feel sorry for everyone who has encountered all of this. But these are the realities, and we know from experience that in Russia, things are not all that bad yet.

As a result, we have created this post to tell you about the main difficulties a foreigner may face during the residency process in Russia.

😀 Complying with visa deadlines

To enter Russia and apply under Decree №702, you will need a valid visa. Although this is most often the special "702 visa," in some regions, documents may practically be accepted with other types of visas (tourist, private, etc.).

The main problem is the tight validity period of the visa.

🔸 Applying for a TRP requires time for:
✓gathering the necessary documents;
✓undergoing a medical commission;
✓obtaining a police clearance certificate;
✓booking a preliminary appointment at the migration center.

For example, in Moscow, available slots for document submission may only appear 3–5 weeks later. And if the documents are not accepted on the first attempt, a new appointment will be required – taking up additional time.

🔸A short visa validity period entails the following risks:

• the visa expires → your stay becomes illegal → your TRP application documents will not be accepted;

• you will have to leave and obtain a new visa → while you are abroad, documents with limited validity (e.g., the police clearance certificate) may also expire.

It is also important to note that the Traditional Values Visa itself may not be issued if there are errors or inaccuracies in the application form.

😀 Notarized translation of documents into Russian

All documents in a foreign language submitted for processing a TRP must be translated into Russian and notarized.

The problem lies in the fact that many translation bureaus in Russia are unfamiliar with the specific requirements of migration authorities. Errors often arise at this stage and create serious obstacles.

Omitting even one symbol or page, as well as an inaccuracy in the translation of a single word, renders the translation legally invalid. In such a situation, the migration authority will refuse to accept the entire document package, and you will need to book an appointment again for a new submission.

🔸A translation (document) with even one error is considered legally invalid, and the migration authority will refuse to accept the documents. You will have to:
1. redo the translation,
2. book a new submission appointment again (which may only be available in several weeks),
3. ensure that other documents do not expire during this time.

😀 Filling out the TRP application

The TRP application must be completed strictly in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD).

🔸Grounds for refusal:
• spelling and punctuation errors;
• incorrect wording;
• formatting violations;
• incomplete sections;
• missing data about relatives;
• errors in indicating dual citizenship, previous names, or surname changes.

Typically, only 5–10% of applicants who complete the application independently manage to submit their documents successfully on the first attempt.

❗️If an application submitted to the migration authority contains false or incomplete information, it can lead to an official refusal to issue the TRP, after which reapplication is possible only after 1 year.

⬇️ CONTINUATION ⬇️

😀 Preparation of medical documents

Correct preparation of medical certificates is a mandatory condition for submitting a TRP application.

Errors occur in two main cases:

1. Mismatch of personal data

🔸 Reasons:
• errors by medical staff during completion;
• changes in the applicant's data after the medical commission (a new passport translation, a different registration address).

🔸 If, after undergoing the medical commission, you:
• changed your registration address,
• obtained a new passport translation with different wording,
then all medical certificates must be redone; otherwise, the migration authority will not accept them.

The data in the medical certificates must fully match the passport translation and your current registration.

2. Incorrect choice of medical institution

Medical examination for a TRP can only be conducted at a clinic from the official list of authorized organizations.

If the examination is conducted at an ordinary private clinic, the documents will not be accepted, and you will have to undergo all procedures again.

😀 Payment of the state duty

Before paying the state duty, a foreign citizen must ensure that the payment details are valid and official.

A typical mistake is paying using details found online or received "from acquaintances." Such data may be outdated or contain errors.

❗️As a result, the payment will not be credited, and the document submission will not proceed. Getting the money back is practically impossible.

🔸Risk of fraud: there are cases where counterfeit details, intentionally containing information for third-party accounts, are circulated online. A foreigner who does not verify the source may mistakenly transfer money to fraudsters.

🔸How to avoid problems:
• do not use details from chats, forums, groups, advertisements, or unverified websites.
• verify the payment purpose, KBK, TIN, KPP, OKTMO, and the recipient.

😀 Certificate of no criminal record

Many fail to consider that the validity period of this document in Russia is only 90 days from the date of issuance.

Furthermore, the certificate must be apostilled in the country where it was obtained, unless otherwise provided by international treaties. The translation of the certificate is done after the apostille.

🔸Ordering a new certificate from Moscow if your current one has expired:
• processing time – 1-3 months;
• additional costs – consular fee, notary services, translation.

😀 Booking an appointment and submitting documents at the migration center

The process consists of two stages:

1. Preliminary verification of document completeness

🔸This can be done:
• online – through the migration center's personal account,
• offline – during a personal visit.

❗️Important:
During online registration, the applicant's data must be entered strictly without errors. It is impossible to change it; if you make a mistake, you will not pass the verification.

In the offline format, you must have all the necessary documents for submission to obtain a preliminary appointment.

2. Application submission

🔸Typical difficulties:
• insufficient knowledge of Russian → risk of misunderstanding the inspector's requirements;
• incomplete document package → lists online are often outdated;
• regional differences: what is accepted in one region of Russia may not be accepted in another.

🔸The role of a lawyer:
✓explains the submission procedure;
✓promptly answers the inspector's questions over the phone;
✓prevents errors that could lead to the applicant being sent to redo things.

⬇️ CONTINUATION ⬇️

😀 Unlawful demands from a migration inspector

🔸In practice, applicants may face demands not stipulated by regulations, for example:
• demanding documents not included in the mandatory list;
• demanding unnecessary notarized translations;
• refusal to accept documents without legal grounds;
• imposing additional services.

A foreigner with poor command of Russian may become confused and agree to unlawful demands.

================

💢 CONCLUSION
These are the key difficulties foreigners most often encounter when independently preparing to apply for a Traditional Values TRP under Decree №702.

Many of these problems are universal and apply to other migration procedures: obtaining a TRP on other grounds, applying for an RP (Residence Permit), and citizenship.

As you can see, there are plenty of areas where mistakes can be made. If you are not confident in your abilities – our advice is to better consult a qualified lawyer. This often ends up being cheaper, not to mention saving time and nerves.

Just one round-trip flight from Russia to your home country and back often costs more than the price of our services 😄

We wish you a comfortable relocation to Russia 🇷🇺

There are more and more such people, and this cannot but make us happy. After you complete your paperwork and settle in – we are confident a calm and pleasant life awaits you.
We have lots of such cases.

================

FOR THOSE ALREADY IN RUSSIA – you can contact us for help or a consultation if you are already facing one of the following situations:

✔️Your visa or certificate of no criminal record has expired even before submitting documents to the migration authority;

✔️You have made independent attempts to apply but have encountered a refusal to accept your documents or other difficulties;

✔️You lack documents confirming a name or surname change;

✔️Due to personal reasons, you need to submit documents in the shortest possible time, considering current procedures and the requirements of migration authorities.

💢 SERVICES FOR STUDENTS AND GRADUATES FOR OBTAINING RESIDENCY AND CITIZENSHIP OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

How can a foreign student obtain residency in Russia?

Currently, Russian legislation provides several paths for foreign students studying full-time to obtain residency and citizenship of Russia:

1. Obtaining an RVPO – an equivalent of a TRP, but specifically for students.
2. Obtaining a permanent residence permit (RP) based on an RVPO.
3. Obtaining an RP based on a diploma with honors (red diploma).
4. Obtaining Russian citizenship based on a diploma with honors (red diploma).
5. Obtaining Russian citizenship based on working in one's specialty for at least 1 year.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF EACH OPTION:

😀 Obtaining residency through RVPO (temporary residence permit for students)

This type of residency can be obtained by foreign students studying full-time at Russian universities, starting from the bachelor's level and above. This means students in "preparatory" courses cannot apply for RVPO.

An RVPO is valid for the entire duration of studies + 180 days after graduation.

An application for RVPO can be submitted at any time before studies are completed. It is not possible to apply for an RVPO after graduation.

📌 Read more about obtaining an RVPO here.


😀 Obtaining an RP Based on RVPO

If a foreign student obtained RVPO during their studies, then according to the law, upon graduation, they have the right to obtain a permanent RP for themselves and their minor children within 3 years from the date of graduation.

How does it work?
• You obtained an RVPO during your studies;
• You graduated and received a Russian diploma (with or without honors);
• You now have the right to obtain a permanent RP for yourself and your minor children.
The right to apply for an RP after having RVPO is valid for 3 years from the date of graduation.

📌 Read more about obtaining a RP based on RVPO here.


😀 Obtaining a permanent residence permit in a simplified procedure based on a "Red diploma"

• If you do not have RVPO
If a foreign student studied full-time and graduated with honors (red diploma), they can skip the RVPO stage: obtain a permanent RP immediately and then apply for Russian citizenship in a simplified procedure right away.

• If you already have RVPO
If a foreign student graduated from a Russian university with a red diploma and had previously obtained RVPO, they have two legal grounds for applying for an RP: the red diploma and the existing RVPO. One should be chosen.

We recommend choosing the red diploma basis (as it is tied to the subsequent acquisition of Russian citizenship via the "Red diploma" route).

📌 Read more about obtaining an RP based on a red diploma here.


😀 Obtaining Russian citizenship in a simplified procedure based on a "Red diploma"

The simplified procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship implies acquiring citizenship without the need to fulfill the general rule of residing with an RP for 5 years.
After a foreign student obtains an RP based on a "Red Diploma," they can apply for Russian citizenship immediately.

📌 Read more about obtaining Russian citizenship based on a "Red Diploma" here.

⬇️ CONTINUATION ⬇️

😀 Obtaining Russian citizenship in a simplified procedure based on working in one's specialty for graduates of a Russian educational institution

Conditions:
• working in one's specialty with at least 1 year of official work experience;
• being a graduate of a state educational institution (college, bachelor's degree, specialist's degree, master's degree, residency, postgraduate studies, etc.);

Stages:
