The popularity of holiday abroad is growing every year. This is due to the fact that Russian resorts scare off tourists with high prices and intrusive service. While hotel workers in Egypt, Turkey, Thailand and other coastal countries are fighting for every guest. In order to be able to spend a vacation in a comfortable environment, it is imperative to obtain a foreign passport.
All citizens of the Russian Federation can get a foreign passport right from the moment of birth. And if earlier the customs officers turned a blind eye to the lack of the necessary document for children under the age of fourteen, now a child who is simply entered in the parents' passports will not be released abroad. Therefore, even the smallest need to receive a separate document.
To obtain a foreign passport, collect a set of documents. First, it is a valid passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation; secondly, a military ID or a certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. These securities must be presented only by men of draft age. Third - permission to obtain a foreign passport from the command of the unit (only for soldiers and officers of the regular army). Fourth - a document confirming the fact of a change of surname, in the event that a new passport is issued on this basis. Fifth - photographs (for an old document - three pieces, for a biometric one - two). Pictures should be forty-five by thirty-five millimeters in size, black and white or color. The main thing is that the image is matte, in an oval with shading. Don't forget to pay the document fee as well and keep your receipt. You will need it when contacting the FMS. An old passport is needed only if its validity period has not expired.
Fill out and print the application form for the issuance of a foreign passport. You can download it at https://www.fms.gov.ru/documents/passportrf/. This is the official website of the Office of the Federal Migration Service of Russia. Please complete all fields with correct information. It makes no sense to conceal anything. The supervisory authority will quickly detect fraud and refuse to issue a passport.
With a set of documents, go to the FMS Office at the place of registration. The employee will take the securities from you and send them for verification. Approximately a month after the first call, a new document will be ready.
In addition, you can apply for a new passport using the site https://www.gosuslugi.ru/. Register there, fill out the application form electronically and send it to the FMS. After checking, the passport office staff will contact you and invite you to an appointment.
