Вопрос № 00088588
Is it required to renew a registration of residence after 1 year of living in Russia on a Temporary Residency permit if the foreigner has not changed residences, and has not departed from Russian territory. Review of Federal Law No. 109-FZ of July 18, 2006 (Chapter3) is does not indicate a renewal requirement
Under Federal Law No. 109-FZ of July 18, 2006 (“On Migration Registration of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons in the Russian Federation”), there is no requirement to renew your migration registration each year if:
You hold a valid Temporary Residence Permit (TRP);
You have not changed your place of residence;
You have not departed from Russia in a way that would cancel your registration.
How the law works
Chapter 3 of 109-FZ (especially Articles 20–23) says that a TRP holder registers at their place of residence with the local migration office (ГУВМ МВД) once, when they move in.
Re-registration is required only in these cases:
Change of residence (moving to a new address);
Departure abroad followed by return (in certain cases, your previous registration can be canceled);
Annulment of the TRP or other change in status.
Practical note
Some local МВД offices unofficially ask TRP holders to “renew” their registration yearly — but this is not in the federal law. If they request it, you can politely ask them to cite the legal basis.
Keep your TRP, passport, and original registration document safe, and make sure your landlord (if applicable) hasn’t deregistered you.
Conclusion:
If you still live at the same address, haven’t left Russia in a way that triggers cancellation, and your TRP is valid, you do not need to renew your place-of-residence registration every year under 109-FZ.
If a foreigner lives at the same address throughout the entire period of the temporary residence permit, there is no need for additional registration each year. However, it is important to monitor the expiration date of the temporary residence permit, which must be renewed or replaced with a residence permit within the specified timeframe. The law does not require mandatory annual re-registration of a foreigner who has received a temporary residence permit, unless the foreigner changes their place of residence or leaves the country. The registration is valid until the temporary residence permit expires.
No, you don\'t have to renew a registration, but every year you must submit a notification confirming your residence in Russia - article 6, paragraph 9 Federal Law No. FZ N115.
