“I’ll check my documents tomorrow,” “I’ll buy the ticket closer to the trip,” “I’ll see a doctor when I have time.”
Sound familiar? When you are working in Russia, there is often not enough time for important everyday tasks. It may seem that nothing serious will happen if you postpone them for a few days.
But sometimes this habit can lead to extra expenses and problems with documents.
Here are five things that are better not to put off:
1. Checking Your Documents
It is important to keep track of the validity periods of your work patent, migration registration, and migration card yourself.
For example, if you fail to make a patent payment on time, the patent will stop being valid. Violations of migration rules may also lead to serious consequences.
Foreign citizens should also check whether their information has been entered into the Registry of Controlled Persons (RKL).
The SalamPay app has a Migrant ID service for this purpose. It allows you to check whether information about you or your family members appears in the Registry of Controlled Persons (RKL). If a record is found, you can also receive recommendations on what to do next.
It is important to enter your personal details carefully when making the check. The system searches for information using the data you provide. If you make a mistake, the result may be incorrect.

2. Paying for Important Services
Money transfers to your family, work patent payments, and other essential expenses are often postponed until payday or the last possible day.
But some payments cannot be missed. For example, a late patent payment may cause the patent to expire.
It is better to write down the dates of all mandatory payments in advance and set aside the required amount.
If you need to send money to your family, SalamPay allows transfers to:
- Uzbekistan;
- Tajikistan;
- Azerbaijan;
The current exchange rate and transfer terms are shown in the app.
3. Seeing a Doctor
Some people continue working even when they have a fever or pain, hoping that the problem will go away on its own. But if the condition gets worse, treatment may require more time and money.
It is better to check the validity of your health insurance policy in advance, find out which services it covers, and save your insurance company’s contact details.
If you develop serious or dangerous symptoms, do not postpone seeking medical care. Emergency medical assistance in Russia is provided to foreign citizens free of charge.
4. Buying Tickets Home for New Year
Planning to travel to Uzbekistan or another country but still have not bought your ticket?
Before the holidays and around popular travel dates, flight prices may increase and the number of suitable flights may decrease.
That is why it is better to compare travel dates and flight options in advance.
You can search for and buy airline tickets in SalamPay without switching between several different services.
5. Learning Russian
Many people postpone studying because they are already tired after work. But knowing Russian is useful for much more than communicating with colleagues.
It can help when visiting a doctor, completing documents, communicating with an employer, and preparing for required exams.
SalamPay offers a free Russian language course with 15 video lessons in Uzbek. Homework assignments are also included after the lessons.
You can study in your free time and work through new topics gradually.
You do not have to solve everything in one day. Start with simple steps: check your documents, write down your payment dates, review your insurance, and plan your trips in advance.
And SalamPay can help you handle some of these everyday tasks.
