Russian Citizenship
Russian citizenship is a stable legal bond between a citizen and the state, established through mutual rights and responsibilities. The route and required documents depend on your circumstances. We can discuss potential grounds and the documents relevant to your case.
How We Can Help
Understanding the Citizenship
The Citizenship is a legal status granted to foreign citizens that permits them to reside in Russia for a fixed term. It is a crucial milestone for those looking to eventually obtain Permanent Residency or Citizenship.
Unlike a standard visa, a Citizenship allows you to exit and re-enter the country multiple times without additional paperwork, provided you maintain your registration.
Legal Rights
Grants you the right to work in the specific region of your registration without a separate work permit.
Healthcare
Eligibility for Free Compulsory Medical Insurance (OMS) at state polyclinics and hospitals.
