ФМС (Федеральная миграционная служба)

Бывшее государственное ведомство России, ответственное за миграцию. Функции переданы МВД в 2016 году.

Подробное объяснение

The FMS (Federal Migration Service of Russia, Russian: Федеральная миграционная служба, ФМС) was the Russian government agency responsible for all migration-related matters including visa regulation, registration of foreign visitors, work permits, and citizenship applications.

In April 2016, the FMS was abolished as a separate agency and its functions were transferred to the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). Despite this reorganization, the term "FMS" is still widely used in the visa industry to refer to migration-related documents and processes.

Key functions (now under MVD):

  • Processing and issuing business visa invitations (FMS form)
  • Registering foreign visitors within 7 days of arrival
  • Managing migration cards at border checkpoints
  • Issuing work permits and patents for foreign workers
  • Processing residence permits and citizenship applications
  • Maintaining the migration database

In the context of visa invitations, an "FMS invitation" refers to a business visa invitation that is officially registered in the migration database. This type of invitation has a unique barcode/reference number that consulates can verify electronically, making it more reliable than a simple company letterhead letter.

The FMS/MVD invitation is one of the most common forms of business visa invitation and is accepted by all Russian consulates worldwide.
