Timeframes to Get a TRP

Timeline for receiving Russian Temporary Residence Permin (TRP).

The processing times for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) depend on the grounds for application as well as the applicant’s citizenship. For citizens arriving under a visa-free agreement from CIS countries, the processing time for a TRP is 1.5 months; for citizens of countries requiring a visa, it is 4 months. However, if a foreign national applies for a TRP as a citizen of Belarus or, for any reason, wishes to obtain a TRP based on birth, on the grounds that their parents are citizens of the Russian Federation, or on the grounds of having children, the processing time may be reduced to 1.5 months.

Students obtaining a temporary residence permit (TRP) based on their education receive the document within 45 days.

The processing time for TRPs for citizens of the United States, Europe, Australia, Canada, and other “unfriendly” countries that share common values under Presidential Decree No. 702 is 4 months.
