The law specifies the timeframe within which foreign citizens or stateless persons recently arrived in Russia (or the parties hosting them), must take the necessary steps to register on the migration registry of the Russian Migration Service at their place of residence or stay.
In addition, the law allows a foreign citizen or stateless person to independently apply in the prescribed manner to a body of migration registration for the purpose of such migration registration if such persons have ownership of a residential property (dwelling) which, in accordance with Russian laws, may be recorded as their place of stay.
The law also grants the right to administrations of individual organisations (hotels or other organisations providing hotel services; sanatoriums; holiday homes; rest homes; children's health camps; tourist resorts; campgrounds; hospitals or other health care or social service facilities; special facilities for the rehabilitation of persons of no fixed abode; and institutions which carry out criminal or administrative sentences) to notify the migration authorities of the arrival of a foreign citizen or stateless person to that certain place of stay using the telecommunications network and pursuant to terms and procedures set forth by the Russian Federation Government.
