The first and important issue of concern to all newcomers, do I need to register for work in Moscow.

General provisions about registration



In accordance with applicable law any citizen residing outside the main address of residence for more than 90 days must obtain a temporary registration. Otherwise, according to the Administrative offences Code, after 90 days you will be fined 2,500 rubles. it is Worth noting that foreign citizens with brown skin and narrow slit eyes should not rely on established 90 days and try to register in the capital as early as possible.

Temporary registration is issued in accordance with the "Law on freedom of movement" and "Rules of registration". The list of documents required for submission to the passport office to obtain a temporary registration, is:


- the document proving the identity;
- the application form;
- the document which is the basis for the invasion.

The basis for occupancy is a dwelling and the consent of the owners for your stay in this room.

Registration for work in the capital



For those who are citizens in the capital in an employment contract the term of registration usually coincides with the term of the contract. If the employment contract is extended, the temporary registration must be renewed. Registration at the place of work in Moscow is issued for a period not exceeding 12 months.

There are cases of refusal to work of citizens without registration in Moscow. In fact, permission to work in the capital and registration in the capital are quite independent from each other. Cases of refusal of employment is not legitimate, however, employers refuse non-resident citizens. This is due to the fact that the employer does not want to have problems related to lack of registration, plus, the employer will have the registration of their employees.

Based on the foregoing, the registration in the capital for work are not formally necessary, and in fact – necessary. And if you consider registration in Moscow without reference to the work, the need for registration depends on the purpose of visiting the capital. For the majority of visitors citizens to Moscow for a long time, gives more possibilities than staying without registration. Therefore, it is desirable to take care of temporary registration, to negotiate with the relatives or to find other options. Forewarned is forearmed.
