Moscow has always been attractive to foreign citizens, not only as the capital of our country and its main attraction, but also as an economic center, with a wide range of vacant jobs. Arriving on the territory of Russia, foreigners sometimes face a large number of problems associated with registration, illegal deportation or violation of their rights, so this is where such a service as legal assistance to foreigners is so necessary.

The legal status of foreigners in Russia is determined by the norms of the Constitution, as well as Federal Laws No. 114 "On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation", No. 115 "On the legal status of foreign citizens" and a number of other regulations. So, a citizen  of another state has the right to live, work and exercise other rights not prohibited by law on the territory of Russia. Moreover, each action must be formalized according to the rules. If this is employment, for example, then it is carried out with a work permit. Ignorance of the norms of law, and  their violation, threatens with administrative sanctions.

The registration process for foreign citizens is very complicated and has many controversial aspects. It takes place in several stages. Firstly, obtaining a migration card. To get it, you need to collect a package of documents and certificates, and submit them to the migration service. Secondly, upon arrival at the place of work or residence, within three days, it is necessary to notify the FMS department, and receive an insert on temporary registration. Without qualified legal assistance to foreigners, the whole procedure can take a long time (from 3 to 12 months).

Being in another country with a different mentality and rules for conducting a migration policy, a foreigner will have to go through more than one instance to acquire the coveted status of a legal migrant. In addition, it is difficult for a person who does not have a complete understanding of the organization of the legislative structure of our state, is not aware of  rights and obligations, and sometimes does not speak Russian at a sufficient level, to implement all the actions necessary for registration. The execution of all necessary documents and the successful completion of this procedure are guaranteed when foreigners apply for legal assistance to a specialized company with a full staff of qualified specialists, including lawyers in the field of migration law.

In this case, the assistance of a lawyer is as follows:

• advising citizens who have arrived from other countries on the legalization of their presence and employment in the Russian Federation;
• execution of a package of documents required for registration;
• legal assistance to foreigners in registering for migration and obtaining a migration card;
• protection of rights and interests, in case of their violation and representation in public and commercial organizations.
