The Permanent Residence Permit (ВНЖ (VNZh) in Russian) allows a foreign national, remaining his original nationality, to live in Russia as long as they want and legally work there without special permissions. 🇷🇺 It may be given if a foreigner has been living on a Temporary Residence Permit at least a year (with some exceptions). I. e., you can apply for a ВНЖ in 8 months - your application will be considered 4 months. And, correspondingly, be sure to apply for permanent residency no later than 4 months before the expiration of the temporary one. And in five years, a Permanent Residence Permit holder is eligible for Russian citizenship. 💼 DOCUMENTS In addition to the personal documents and photos, an applicant must bring: ✏ Health certificate (HIV, syphilis, tuberculosis and hepatitis B and C, and drugs in the body); ✏ Proof of the availability of housing, e. g., a rental agreement or documents on ownership if the foreigner has not left Russia for 3 years; ✏ Certificate of No Criminal Record (if he doesn’t have temporary residency); ✏ Proof of income. The only exception is when the applicant is disabled; ✏ You also need to prove your knowledge of Russian. ❗ NOTE that every year a Permanent Residence Permit holder must notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs about his residence in Russia - at least 6 months a year in Russia. #Russia, #Law, #Lawyer, #Moscow, #StPetersburg, #RussianResidence, #ВНЖ
