Registration of Foreign Citizens (Temporary Residence Permit)

Temporary registration of citizens in the Republic of Belarus is a mandatory procedure for those who plan to temporarily stay in the country. It is an important part of establishing the presence of a foreign citizen, dictated by the state's migration policy, allowing foreigners to stay in Belarus with certain rights and obligations.

PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING TEMPORARY REGISTRATION

Registration of citizens in Belarus is carried out in accordance with a certain procedure.
1
To obtain permission for temporary residence in Belarus, a foreigner must apply to the migration control authorities, submitting the appropriate application. He must have with him documents required for registration: a passport of a foreign citizen with a visa, a completed application form, a lease agreement, as well as additional documents that may be required depending on the purpose of the visit (employment contract, student visa, cash funds to confirm the solvency of the citizen).
2

The procedure for registering foreigners requires payment of a state fee, the amount of which can be clarified at the territorial department for citizenship and migration or directly on the department's website.
3
After successfully submitting the documents, wait for the permission for temporary residence.

Is it possible to register a foreign citizen in Belarus online?

The country's legislation provides for such a possibility. Online registration of a foreigner can be done through a specially filled form on the portal of electronic services for free. It is worth reminding that this service is not available for citizens of the Russian Federation, therefore a personal visit to the citizenship and migration department is required.

Registration deadlines for foreigners

It should be remembered that upon arrival in the republic, a citizen cannot simply stay in its territory without control. The period of stay of foreigners without registration is regulated by law and should not exceed 10 days from the moment of entry into the country, excluding weekends and holidays. However, some foreigners have the right to stay in the country without registration for a long period (from 30 to 90 days). The website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs contains a list of states whose citizens are entitled to this right.
It should also be remembered that if a foreigner, due to necessity, for example, for work or study, is forced to change location again, then within 3 days he must submit documents for the new place of temporary residence.

If a foreigner lives not at the place of registration, he has the opportunity to register at the place of residence based on a lease agreement. This allows him to be legally registered, regardless of the actual place of residence.

Is it possible to extend temporary registration?

Extension of registration for foreigners is possible. It is carried out in the same order as obtaining the initial one. To do this, simply contact the relevant state authorities with an application and documents confirming the need to stay in the country.

The extension period depends on the purposes and can vary from several months to a year. In individual cases, which are considered individually, the period can be significantly extended.

In conclusion, it is worth noting once again that the registration of a foreign citizen requires certain knowledge of the country's legislation, but the migration control authorities of Belarus do not seek to complicate the process of obtaining temporary residence permits, striving to provide maximum assistance in obtaining them.
