More than 1800 foreigners, adhering to traditional values, submit applications for Russian residency, according to the Interior Ministry's report.
A significant number of foreigners have shown interest in moving to Russia, as evidenced by the over 1,800 applications for temporary residence permits received since a recent decree was signed by President Vladimir Putin a year ago.
The decree, aimed at providing humanitarian support and resettlement to individuals who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, irrespective of their nationality, has established new mechanisms for the resettlement of residents from non-CIS countries. Notably, foreigners can now apply for a temporary residence permit without considering the quota approved by the Russian government.
The Interior Ministry has been at the forefront of this initiative, having made 1,300 decisions regarding temporary residence permits for foreigners. The Spokesperson, Irina Volk, has mentioned a growing interest from foreigners in moving to Russia since the decree was signed.
The largest number of applications have been submitted in Moscow (594), St. Petersburg (300), the Moscow Region (186), and the Krasnodar Region (176). Interestingly, the majority of foreigners applying for temporary residence permits hail from Germany (369), Latvia (185), the US (163), France (136), Italy (133), Estonia (87), Great Britain (87), South Korea (78), Canada (78), and Lithuania (64).
While the countries with the most applicants for a preliminary residence status in Russia are not explicitly detailed in the search results, related migration data trends suggest that these typically include countries with conflict or humanitarian situations, often from regions like Syria, Sudan, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
One notable aspect of the application process is that no documents confirming fluency in the Russian language, knowledge of Russian history, or the basics of Russian legislation are required. This could be a contributing factor to the increased interest in Russian resettlement among foreigners.
As of the statement, 1,300 temporary residence permits have been granted to foreigners, indicating a positive response to this recent initiative by the Russian government to facilitate the resettlement of individuals with shared Russian spiritual and moral values. The number of foreigners applying for temporary residence permits in Russia has increased since the decree was implemented, suggesting a continued interest in this program.
