Что может грозить иностранному гражданину за нарушение миграционных правил?
Штраф и выдворение за пределы России correct Только устное предупреждение your answer It does not stop at a warning. Migration violations carry fines and removal from Russia. Ничего, если он работает и платит налоги your answer Working and paying tax do not cancel liability for breaking the rules of stay. These are separate obligations.
Breaking migration rules carries an administrative fine and removal from the Russian Federation. Removal brings with it a ban on re-entry for a set period, so the consequence does not end when you leave. That is why seemingly small violations — lapsed registration, working outside your stated occupation — cost far more than they appear to.
Работодатель забрал ваш паспорт «на хранение до конца работы». Законно ли это?
Законно, если так написано в договоре your answer A contract clause cannot override the law. A term allowing your passport to be taken has no force even if you signed it. Нет, никто не вправе забирать у вас паспорт correct Законно, если работодатель даст расписку your answer A receipt does not make it lawful. The passport is your document and must stay with you: it is what inspections ask for.
Your passport is a personal document, and no employer, agent or landlord has the right to take it. Demanding that you “leave the passport” is a common coercion tactic: without it you can neither leave nor seek help. If your passport is being withheld, go to the police and to your country’s consulate.
Куда обращаться иностранному работнику, если работодатель не платит зарплату?
Никуда, у иностранного работника таких прав нет your answer Everyone in Russia has the right to defence in court, regardless of citizenship. A foreign worker’s labour rights are protected in the same way as a citizen’s. Только к самому работодателю your answer Talking to the employer is a sensible first step but not the only one. If that fails, the labour inspectorate and the courts remain. В суд или в государственную инспекцию труда correct
A foreign worker’s labour rights are protected like a citizen’s: you can go to the state labour inspectorate or to court. You will need the written employment contract — the second copy the employer is obliged to give you. That is why you take the contract straight away rather than “later”: without it, proving the relationship is far harder.
Вы потеряли паспорт. Что нужно сделать в первую очередь?
Обратиться в полицию и в посольство или консульство своей страны correct Купить новый документ у посредника your answer A bought document is a forgery, and using one is itself a crime. Only the state whose citizen you are can issue a real passport. Ничего, достаточно патента your answer A patent confirms the right to work, not who you are. Without a passport you cannot prove your identity — and that is what every check asks for.
If you lose your passport, report it to the police at once and contact your country’s embassy or consulate — only they can issue a passport. The police report proves the document was lost rather than hidden, which matters at any check before the replacement arrives. Never buy a “document” from an agent: that is forgery and a criminal offence.
Иностранный гражданин из безвизовой страны работает без патента. Как это оценивается?
Это нарушение только работодателя your answer Both sides are liable: the employer for engaging a worker without the permit, and the worker for working without one. Это нарушение, за которое отвечают и работник, и работодатель correct Это не нарушение, если работа временная your answer A work permit is required for temporary work too. How long the job lasts makes no difference.
A citizen of a visa-free country needs a patent to work in Russia. Working without one is a violation, and both sides answer for it: the employer is fined for engaging the worker, the worker faces penalties up to removal. “We agreed verbally” and “it was only a few days” do not remove liability.
При оформлении документов посредник предлагает указать несуществующий адрес проживания. Чем это грозит?
Ничем, адрес всё равно не проверяют your answer The address is checked, and that is where inspectors come. Registering where you do not actually live is fictitious registration. Отвечает только посредник your answer The agent does not appear on the paperwork at all. Liability falls on the person who registered you and on you. Это фиктивная регистрация — нарушение с ответственностью для обеих сторон correct
Registering at an address where you do not actually live is fictitious registration. For the receiving party it is a criminal offence; for the foreign national it means removal from the register, a fine and the risk of expulsion. The agent who suggests it appears nowhere on the paperwork and bears no liability — you will.
Срок вашего пребывания в России заканчивается, а законных оснований продлить его нет. Что нужно сделать?
Выехать из России до окончания срока correct Остаться и подождать, пока появится работа your answer Overstaying is a violation in its own right and it accumulates each day. Waiting for work to turn up is not a legal ground to stay. Переехать в другой регион — там срок начнётся заново your answer The period of stay is counted for the country as a whole, not per region. Moving within Russia does not reset it.
If your period of stay is running out and there is no lawful basis to extend it, you must leave Russia before it ends. Overstaying is a violation leading to fines, removal and an entry ban, and every extra day makes it worse. Leaving on time and returning lawfully is almost always cheaper than staying and being banned.
Работодатель забрал ваш паспорт и не отдаёт. Что это?
Нарушение: паспорт — ваш документ, его никто не вправе удерживать correct Обычная практика при оформлении на работу your answer For paperwork a passport is needed briefly and returned at once. Holding on to it is a means of pressure, not a procedure. Законно, если это записано в договоре your answer A contract term contrary to law has no force. Taking your document does not become lawful because someone wrote it down.
A passport is its holder’s personal document, and neither an employer nor an agent may keep it. If it is not returned, go to the police: this is not a labour dispute but the withholding of someone’s document.
Обязан ли иностранный гражданин иметь при себе документы, удостоверяющие личность?
Да, и предъявлять их по требованию должностного лица correct Нет, достаточно назвать свои данные your answer Words do not replace a document: identity is checked against a document, not against what you say. Только при поездках между городами your answer The duty does not depend on travel: you need the document at all times, not only on a journey.
A foreign national must carry an identity document and documents confirming the right to be in Russia, and present them on an official’s demand.
Работа без патента там, где он обязателен, — это
нарушение, за которое предусмотрены штраф и выдворение correct нарушение только работодателя your answer Both are liable: the employer for hiring without authorisation, the worker for working without a permit. допустимо, если работа временная your answer The length of the job is irrelevant: authorisation is needed even for a single day.
Working without authorisation is one of the commonest violations: it carries a fine and administrative removal, and after removal a ban on entry.
Что означает «запрет на въезд»?
Человеку на определённый срок закрыт въезд в Россию correct Человека не выпускают из России your answer The opposite: an entry ban closes the way back, not the way out. It does not stop you leaving. Человека лишают права работать your answer The right to work is removed by a different decision. An entry ban concerns crossing the border.
An entry ban closes the way to Russia for three years or more, depending on the violation. It is among the harshest consequences: the person loses their job, their home and contact with family left behind.
Кто подаёт уведомление о прибытии иностранного гражданина?
Принимающая сторона correct Сам иностранный гражданин всегда your answer The person files it only in cases the law names separately: for instance, if they own the home where they are being registered. Работодатель в любом случае your answer The employer files only if they are themselves the host party — for example, when they provide accommodation.
As a rule the notification is filed by the host party — whoever the person actually lives with. The deadline is seven working days, or one working day in a hotel.
Имеет ли иностранный гражданин право на медицинскую помощь в экстренной форме?
Да, и она оказывается бесплатно correct Нет, без полиса помощь не оказывают your answer Emergency care where life is at risk is given regardless of insurance: they save you first and sort out documents afterwards. Да, но только платно your answer Emergency care is the one form provided free to everyone. Scheduled appointments may be paid.
Emergency medical care for sudden life-threatening conditions is provided free and without delay — to foreign nationals too. Planned care goes through insurance or is paid for.
Патент — это документ, который даёт иностранному гражданину право:
получить гражданство России your answer A patent has nothing to do with citizenship. The procedure for admission to citizenship is set by a separate law. работать в России correct жить в России постоянно your answer Permanent residence is granted by a residence permit, not by a patent. These are different documents with different rights.
A patent is a work permit for citizens of countries with visa-free entry. It does not give the right of permanent residence and does not bring you closer to citizenship. The right to live and the right to work are different rights, confirmed by different documents.
Что такое миграционный учёт?
постановка иностранного гражданина на учёт по месту пребывания correct получение российского паспорта your answer Passports are issued to citizens of Russia. Migration registration has nothing to do with citizenship. оплата налога на работу your answer Taxes and registration are different obligations. Being registered does not replace payments, and payments do not replace registration.
Migration registration means notifying the state of where a foreign national is staying. The receiving party does it: the owner of the accommodation, a hotel, or an employer providing housing. Registration does not grant the right to work and does not replace taxes.
В какой форме заключается трудовой договор?
в устной your answer A verbal agreement is not an employment contract and gives the worker no protection: its terms are almost impossible to prove. в любой, по желанию работодателя your answer The form of the contract is not the employer's to choose: it is set by law and binding on both sides. в письменной correct
An employment contract is concluded in writing, in two copies — one stays with the employee. If you were not given your copy, that is already a violation. This question comes up often in the exam, because this is where people are most often deceived.
Сотрудник полиции остановил вас на улице и просит документы. Что нужно сделать?
отдать документы навсегда your answer Documents are presented for checking, not surrendered permanently. After the check they must be returned to you. предъявить документы correct уйти, не отвечая your answer Refusing to comply with a lawful demand of a police officer is itself an offence.
The police are entitled to check identity documents. You must present the documents — that is, show them, not hand them over for good. The officer must introduce themselves and state the reason for the stop; you are entitled to ask to see their service ID.
Что такое фиктивная регистрация?
постановка на учёт по адресу, где человек не живёт correct регистрация в другом городе your answer You may be registered in whatever city you are actually staying in, and that is not a violation. The violation is not being at the address you are registered at. регистрация без работы your answer Having a job and being registered are not connected to each other.
Fictitious registration means being registered at an address where the person does not actually live. Responsibility falls first on the receiving party — the owner of the accommodation — and for them it is a criminal offence. The foreign national is removed from the register and becomes a violator of the rules of stay, which means a fine and expulsion. That is why agreeing to «registration for money» at someone else's address is dangerous for both sides, and especially for you: it is you who will have to leave, not the person who sold the paper.
Какой документ подтверждает личность иностранного гражданина в России?
миграционная карта your answer The migration card confirms entry and the period of stay, but identity is not established from it. патент your answer A patent confirms the right to work, not identity. It is presented together with a passport, not instead of one. паспорт иностранного гражданина correct
The identity of a foreign national is confirmed by the passport of their own state. The other documents — the migration card, the notice of registration, the patent — confirm not identity but particular circumstances: entry, place of stay, the right to work.
Вы получили патент в одном регионе. Можно ли работать по нему в соседнем регионе?
Да, патент действует по всей России your answer It is the exam certificate that is valid nationwide, not the patent. A patent is tied to the region that issued it. Нет, патент действует в том регионе, где он выдан correct Да, если работодатель тот же your answer The regional limit does not depend on the employer. Even with the same employer you cannot work on this patent in another region.
A patent is issued for, and valid in, one specific region of Russia. Working in another region requires a patent from that region. This is one of the most common reasons for fines: people follow the work and do not notice that the document stayed behind.
Может ли иностранный гражданин с патентом голосовать на выборах Президента России?
Да, если он платит налоги your answer Paying taxes does not grant voting rights. Everyone who works pays tax, but only citizens vote. Да, если он живёт в России больше года your answer Length of residence does not confer the vote. Electoral rights follow citizenship, not time spent in the country. Нет, избирательные права есть только у граждан России correct
Only citizens of the Russian Federation may vote or stand for state office. A foreign national has the right to work, to medical care, to defence in court and to education — but not the vote. The exam often asks you to separate these two sets of rights.
Можно ли передать свой патент другому человеку, чтобы он поработал вместо вас?
Нет, патент оформлен на конкретного человека correct Да, если это родственник your answer Family ties change nothing. The patent carries the holder’s name and photograph; only that person may work on it. Да, если работодатель согласен your answer The employer’s consent does not transfer the document. Both people break the law here — the holder and the one working without their own patent.
A patent is a personal document bearing the holder’s name and photograph. Nobody may work on someone else’s patent under any circumstances. The same applies to the migration card and the registration slip: each is issued to one named person.
Кто ставит иностранного гражданина на миграционный учёт по месту пребывания?
Сам иностранный гражданин your answer The notification is filed by the receiving party — the person or organisation you stay with. Filing it yourself is possible only in specific cases. Принимающая сторона: собственник жилья, гостиница или работодатель, если он предоставил жильё correct Работодатель в любом случае your answer An employer registers you only if the employer provided the accommodation. If you rent a flat, the owner of that flat files the notification.
Migration registration is the duty of the receiving party — the property owner, the hotel, or the employer if the employer provided the housing. Once the notification is filed you must be given the detachable stub with a stamp: that is your proof of registration. Keep it with your passport.
Вы работаете по патенту водителем, а работодатель просит выйти на другую работу — продавцом. Что здесь важно знать?
Можно, если работодатель тот же your answer The occupation is written on the patent itself. Changing employer and changing occupation are different things. Профессия в патенте не указывается your answer It is stated. That is precisely why inspections compare the occupation on the patent with what the person actually does. В патенте указана профессия, и работать нужно по ней correct
The patent states the occupation you are permitted to work in. Working in a different occupation counts as a violation, even with the same employer and a proper contract. If the job changes, you must apply to the migration office to amend the document — a verbal arrangement is not enough.
