Q&A section: maternity capital, purchasing property in Belarus, extending a work visa
In this section, we try to fully answer frequently asked questions. Today we will look at whether a mother can receive maternity capital for a child if the child is born in another country, whether it is possible to buy a house in Belarus while having Russian citizenship, and whether it is possible to extend an expiring work visa without leaving Poland.
"Regardless of where the child is born or adopted, citizens of Russia have the right to receive the state (Russian) maternity capital certificate. If you are planning to give birth in Belarus, the main condition will be that the child has citizenship. The application can be submitted on the State Services website or through the form on the official website of the Pension Fund. If you plan to receive maternity capital upon returning to Russia, contact the territorial branch of the PFR at your place of residence or the My Documents center. If you do not have registration in Russia, you need to contact the branches of the PFR in Moscow and the Moscow region.
You can receive the certificate immediately after the birth of the child or later – as long as the program is running. Currently, the program is valid until 2026."
"Citizens of Russia can buy any property in Belarus on the same basis as citizens of Belarus. To buy a house, you do not need to obtain citizenship. For the transaction, you will need a Russian passport and confirmation of registration in Belarus. Another point is the land plot. According to Belarusian legislation, it is impossible to purchase it in Belarus – this applies to all foreign citizens. However, a land plot can be leased for a long term with a maximum period of 99 years.
If a foreigner (including a citizen of Russia) has purchased residential premises in the Republic of Belarus, they can apply for temporary residence, but for a period of no more than one year. Temporary residence can be extended every year or a residence permit can be issued."
"Since March 28, all restrictions on entering Poland related to COVID-19, as well as most internal restrictions, have been lifted. Due to the fact that all 'COVID' restrictions have been lifted, it is not possible to stay in Poland with an expired visa, as this may result in a ban on re-entry to Poland and other Schengen area countries. An administrative penalty in the form of a fine may also be imposed."
Please note that you can extend your work visa in Poland at the voivodship office if your employment contract with the employer is extended."
Calls and written inquiries are temporarily not accepted.
