We provide comprehensive solutions: consulting, finding suitable grounds, preparing documents, and accompanying you at all stages of the procedure – from the submission of documents to the acquisition of Russian Federation citizenship.
The issue of acquiring Russian citizenship becomes relevant at a certain point in time for many foreign citizens who primarily live and work in Russia. Indeed, residence statuses (permanent residence permit and temporary residence permit) provide a wide range of rights and opportunities. However, in comparison with Russian Federation citizenship, they have several restrictions that affect job selection and require compliance with the terms of stay, among other things. Russian Federation citizenship is often used as a protective tool to preserve assets acquired in the country, allowing unrestricted disposal of the said assets.
The process of acquiring citizenship is the most responsible and difficult stage, so the preparation of documents and applications requires special attention and a detailed background study. We are well aware of these specifics and are ready to offer you full legal assistance for this procedure in Moscow.

Currently, Russia does not require foreign citizens to renounce their citizenship when acquiring Russian citizenship. Since 2023, the concept of "multiple citizenship" has been established in Russian legislation and is considered normal.
There are two important factors to consider in terms of retaining existing citizenship:
1. Not all countries allow their citizens to hold multiple citizenships. Some countries require a special permit to acquire another citizenship, while others have exceptions that allow for multiple citizenships. However, there are also countries that strictly prohibit having any other citizenship. Therefore, if you plan to acquire Russian citizenship, it is necessary to find out your state's position on multiple citizenship.
2. Once you acquire Russian citizenship, Russia will only recognize you as a citizen of the Russian Federation, regardless of your other citizenship. Your other citizenship will only be taken into account if a "dual citizenship" agreement exists between the countries.

Russian legislation does not impose such an obligation. A citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to leave the country for any period of time without any restrictions. However, there are two things to consider:
1. After a certain period of time, a citizen of the Russian Federation may lose their tax resident status, resulting in an income tax rate of 30% instead of 13%. However, it is important to note that tax legislation has exceptions to this general rule, depending on the source of income and the existence of tax agreements between countries, etc.
2. Consular registration at the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the country of permanent residence. It should be noted that this is not mandatory, and a citizen of the Russian Federation can decide whether or not to register with the Embassy.

According to the amended citizenship law of 2023, there is a concept of "termination" of Russian citizenship. It can occur in the following cases:
1. Providing false documents or knowingly providing false information about oneself. In this case, all documents and data submitted to the migration service, including those during the process of obtaining a permanent residence permit and a temporary residence permit, will be considered. The decision to terminate citizenship can be made within 10 years from the date a foreign citizen acquired Russian citizenship.
2. Committing criminal offenses, engaging in extremist or terrorist activities.
3. Refusing to comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation.
These provisions do not apply to those who acquired Russian citizenship "by birthright".

In the Russian Federation, both the "jus soli" principle (right of soil or birth within the territory) and the principle of "jus sanguinis" (right of blood) are taken into account.
According to the latter, a child receives Russian citizenship if at least one of their parents is a Russian citizen. However, a child of foreign citizen parents can only acquire Russian citizenship if the foreign state does not grant the child its citizenship.

According to the amended citizenship law of 2023, the concept of ‘restoration’ that existed for over 20 years no longer applies. Currently, the following grounds are relevant for acquiring Russian citizenship:
— by birth;
— admission to citizenship;
— recognition as a citizen;
— choice of citizenship when changing borders (optation);
— in accordance with an international agreement.
