More and more foreigners are exploring the space of our country. Some of them would like to stay here to live and become full-fledged citizens of Russia. Let's see how to obtain Russian citizenship to a citizen of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, America and other countries. There are a number of requirements and rules, following which you can fulfill your desire without any problems. However, it is worthwhile to understand that if a foreigner decided to go through the whole procedure, he will be forced to renounce the citizenship of his country. At the same time, certain fines for refusing this procedure have not yet been established.
If a foreigner has a desire to obtain Russian citizenship, then first you should get an official paper allowing
temporary residence. This document provides an opportunity to temporarily stay in the country until the moment when a residence permit is obtained. The necessary papers are submitted to the RVP with a visa (any, except tourist).
There are some reasons why it is easier to officially formalize Russian citizenship. These include:
- the presence of relatives - citizens of our country;
- marriage with a Russian, lasting at least three years;
- at least 250 thousand dollars of investment in the economy of our country;
- the presence of a USSR passport, where a residence permit is indicated on the territory of Russia;
- the presence of a certificate of service in the ranks of our army;
- a diploma of a Russian university;
- IDP or refugee status.
About twelve months after the RVP has been received, the necessary documentation for a residence permit should be submitted. However, if there is a registered marriage with a resident of Russia, then this can be done immediately. Most likely, in the Federal Migration Service, a foreigner will require a
certificate of criminal record in the territory of the Russian Federation and in his homeland, as well as a document indicating the
sources of income. It is worth knowing that it is necessary to apply for a residence permit as soon as possible, since the RVP is issued for three years, and then it is not extended.
In order to obtain Russian citizenship, a foreigner will need to get a job in the territory of our state. However, after receiving the above papers,
he will be able to work only in the region where the document was received.
What needs to be done next or how to obtain Russian citizenship to a citizen of Kazakhstan? For the purpose of employment, it will be necessary to obtain a work permit. This will allow, including the use of free medicine. According to the Federal Law, a foreigner must reside in the territory of our state continuously for at least five years from the date of registration of a residence permit. This requirement is considered fulfilled if the person has not left the country for a period of more than three months in one calendar year.
After five years of living in the territory of our state behind, a foreigner can submit documents to the FMS and proudly obtain Russian citizenship. Finally, I would like to draw attention to the fact that the future citizen of Russia will have to provide evidence that he speaks Russian and has passed the appropriate testing. However, the stronger sex is over 65 years old, and women - 60 are exempted from this requirement.
