New law

President Vladimir Putin signed this federal law in April 2020.

Previously, the law required people who wanted to apply for Russian citizenship to submit an application to the competent authorities of a foreign country with a declaration of renunciation of their existing citizenship.

Fundamental changes

The new law excludes this when applying for citizenship, as well as the requirement of a three-year stay in Russia and confirmation of legal source of livelihood for stateless adults, but with former Soviet citizenship, living in the former Soviet republics, but not receiving citizenship in these countries ...

The same rule applies to foreigners married to Russians living in the country and having children together, as well as to those whose biological parents have Russian citizenship and live in Russia.

In addition, the working period in the Russian Federation for graduates from Russian universities has been reduced from three years to one year.
