In connection with the reports of the allegedly changed procedure for the registration of foreign passports, citizens living outside the territory of the Russian Federation, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that the procedure for registration and issuance of foreign passports was established by Federal Law of 08/15/1996 No. 114-ФЗ “On the procedure for departure from the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation”.

In accordance with this document, citizens of the Russian Federation living outside the Russian Federation are issued by diplomatic representatives and consular institutions of the Russian Federation in foreign states and no changes in this procedure occurred. The Russian Foreign Ministry and the Russian consular foreignities in the current difficult circumstances make everything possible for the timely documentation of fellow citizens with foreign passports.

The reports that have appeared in the media about the allegedly adopted changes in the specified procedure do not correspond to reality and are caused by insufficiently careful study of the new administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to provide public services for the registration of foreign passports in the Russian Federation, which entered into force on May 30 of the village.

This document allows citizens living abroad and temporarily arrived in the Russian Federation to apply for a replacement of a foreign passport to a division on migration of the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. In this case, if there is a valid foreign passport, it is not necessary to pre -issue an internal passport. This measure is designed to ensure the rights of our citizens living outside the Russian Federation, and give them the opportunity to return to the country of their permanent residence without delay.
