Obtaining citizenship in Russia will be drastically simplified: what will change

Russia has developed a large program for the return of compatriots from abroad. The tip of this iceberg appeared recently - in the Russian Federation all citizens of Ukraine and Belarus were automatically recognized as native speakers of the Russian language. This gives them the opportunity to quickly obtain a Russian passport.

But if you dig deeper, we are talking about a whole list of actions that are being prepared right now, writes “Country«.

Russian media have already dubbed them “citizenship reform” or “demographic reform”, since the plans of the Russian authorities indicate a population growth of two million people until 2024.

For this, several point innovations and two large ones were made.

First: The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation approved a list of 135 specialties. Having worked on any of them in Russia for one year, a foreign citizen (regardless of which country’s passport he has now) will be able to apply for a passport.

Second and the most interesting innovation lies in the documents attached to the bill on the budget for 2020-2022 years. Thus, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia proposes to exclude the requirement of renunciation of another citizenship for foreign citizens.

Separate benefits for obtaining Russian citizenship

Citizens of Ukraine and Belarus are planning to be recognized as native speakers of the Russian language without passing an exam. This status gives people the right to obtain citizenship through a simplified procedure. However, such a relaxation for applicants for Russian citizenship is nothing more than a moral bonus. Since the package of documents for simplifying citizenship has not changed.

Also, the Russian government initiated a bill according to which the period for consideration of an application for obtaining Russian citizenship is reduced from six to three months.

In fact, a passport for three months from the date of application for citizenship now and so many get it. But it is planned that now the waiting period will be reduced second for such categories:

• spouses of Russian citizens,
• in which at least one parent lives in Russia and has Russian citizenship,
• who currently lives in Russia by residence permit.

A large list of medical specialties and teachers is noteworthy. That is, Russia as it were invites people of these professions.

Currently, the Zemsky Doctor program is operating in Russia. If a doctor moves to villages and small towns of the country, he can receive allowances: junior medical staff - 500 thousand rubles ($7850), doctor - a million rubles ($15700). For approximately this money you can buy housing in rural areas in Russia.

In 2020, the Zemstvo Teacher program began operating. It provides payments for teachers in the amount of one million rubles.

The key conditions for participation in the programs are that the specialist’s age must be no more than 50 years (for doctors) and no more than 55 years (for teachers). The person will have to enter into an employment contract for a period of at least 5 years.

For doctors and teachers who will go to the villages of the Far East, Vladimir Putin initiated an increase in lifting twice as much.

Russian citizenship without giving up their

On October 23, the preliminary schedule of the State Duma indicates the consideration of the federal budget bill for 2020-2022.

The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has prepared a large document on demography. It is attached to the budget project.

It is indicated that it has been introduced to improve demography: a mortgage reduced to 6% for families with two and subsequent children, free IVF for women up to 39 years unlimited times, subventions for free cancer treatment, including in private clinics and more.

Part of the document is dedicated to the fact that Russia will continue to simplify the acquisition of citizenship in a number of areas. It is noted that they plan to place special emphasis on qualified specialists (their list is given above). And a separate line is highly qualified personnel.

A separate position, which was not previously declared, is “to eliminate the mandatory requirement to renounce other citizenship for foreign citizens accepting Russian citizenship.”

Now only a few categories of citizens can not renounce their citizenship: Ukrainians - participants in state programs for obtaining Russian citizenship and citizens of Tajikistan (this is the only country that has an agreement on dual citizenship with Russia).

Economists also want foreigners who graduated from Russian universities to remain in the country. They will be helped with legalization. Those foreigners who are studying in Russia now, experts say, are few. They plan to increase their number in a few years to 425 thousand people.

It is additionally noted that the state will help with documents to those who received vocational education and graduated from leading universities in the CIS and Baltic countries.

It is interesting that the experts of the Ministry of Economic Development express dissatisfaction with the state program on the return of compatriots to Russia.

These are:

• people who were born on the territory of the former Russian Empire and the USSR;
• former Russian citizens who once adopted the citizenship of another state;
• foreigners and stateless persons whose direct ancestors were citizens of the USSR and previously lived on the territory of the modern Russian Federation (since the USSR collapsed, they were granted citizenship of one of the formed republics).

Now regional authorities are helping these citizens find work and paying allowances - 240 thousand rubles (about $3770) for the applicant and 120 thousand rubles (about $1890) for each member of his family.

Residents of the “DPR” and “LPR”, who receive citizenship in a simplified manner by Putin’s decree, are not mentioned in the economists’ document. But it is obvious that they will be a drop in the ocean. According to the latest data, residents of the “republics” received 35 thousand passports. In total, 90 thousand people from Donbass submitted an application.

The described document has been approved by the government and will result in specific amendments and bills.
