Mismatch of personal data🔸 Reasons:• errors by medical staff during completion;• changes in the applicant's data after the medical commission (a new passport translation, a different registration address).🔸 If, after undergoing the medical commission, you:• changed your registration address,• obtained a new passport translation with different wording,then all medical certificates must be redone; otherwise, the migration authority will not accept them.The data in the medical certificates must fully match the passport translation and your current registration.2. Incorrect choice of medical institutionMedical examination for a TRP can only be conducted at a clinic from the official list of authorized organizations.If the examination is conducted at an ordinary private clinic, the documents will not be accepted, and you will have to undergo all procedures again.😀 Payment of the state dutyBefore paying the state duty, a foreign citizen must ensure that the payment details are valid and official.A typical mistake is paying using details found online or received "from acquaintances." Such data may be outdated or contain errors.❗️As a result, the payment will not be credited, and the document submission will not proceed. Getting the money back is practically impossible.🔸Risk of fraud: there are cases where counterfeit details, intentionally containing information for third-party accounts, are circulated online.

#braiden_answers №1936DIFFICULTIES FOREIGNERS FACE WHEN PREPARING AND SUBMITTING A TRP APPLICATION UNDER DECREE № 702A video analysis by Head of the International Department Michael Bzhishkian can be viewed here:Lately, we have frequently encountered problems faced by foreigners when submitting documents for a Temporary Residence Permit (TRP) based on traditional values.This primarily concerns those who try to do everything themselves, but also includes those who have worked with lawyers.People come to us with expired documents, refusals from the migration authority, and other issues. They vividly describe their experiences at migration centers, medical institutions, banks, etc.We truly feel sorry for everyone who has encountered all of this. But these are the realities, and we know from experience that in Russia, things are not all that bad yet.As a result, we have created this post to tell you about the main difficulties a foreigner may face during the residency process in Russia.😀 Complying with visa deadlinesTo enter Russia and apply under Decree №702, you will need a valid visa. Although this is most often the special "702 visa," in some regions, documents may practically be accepted with other types of visas (tourist, private, etc.).The main problem is the tight validity period of the visa.🔸 Applying for a TRP requires time for:✓gathering the necessary documents;✓undergoing a medical commission;✓obtaining a police clearance certificate;✓booking a preliminary appointment at the migration center.For example, in Moscow, available slots for document submission may only appear 3–5 weeks later. And if the documents are not accepted on the first attempt, a new appointment will be required – taking up additional time.🔸A short visa validity period entails the following risks:• the visa expires → your stay becomes illegal → your TRP application documents will not be accepted;• you will have to leave and obtain a new visa → while you are abroad, documents with limited
