University students were actively interested in the issue of obtaining Russian Federation citizenship. Department officials explained that this is possible, but there are certain stages. First, you need to obtain a temporary residence permit (TRP), then a residence permit and only after that you can apply for citizenship. At the same time, students were warned about administrative responsibility and cancellation of the TRP and residence permit for providing false information and establishing the fact of entering into a fictitious marriage with a Russian Federation citizen.
Employment issues were also discussed. Students enrolled in full-time / part-time forms of education can work in their free time and during the holidays. If a student has a Temporary Residence Permit, then they can only work in the region where they are registered, but if a student has a Residence Permit, then they have the right to work on the territory of the entire Russian Federation.
At the end of the meeting, all participants were warned of liability in accordance with federal laws No. 31-FZ and No. 32-FZ of March 4, 2022.
