When can you get a Russian PERMANENT RESIDENCE PERMIT without a temporary one

You may know that to get permanent residency in Russia, a foreigner must have been living in the country at least a year on a temporary residence permit. But there are exceptions that allow you to get permanent residency right away, for example: ✅ You were born in the USSR and were its citizen; ✅ Your parent or child is a Russian citizen AND permanently resides in Russia; ✅ You are a highly qualified specialist. These specialists can invite their family members too. Watch the video in the description to learn more about them; ✅ You have been working as a qualified specialist at least 6 months (don’t confuse with HIGHLY qualified specialists); ✅ You’ve pursued higher education in Russia (full time) and obtained a diploma «with honors» (at least 75% of «excellent» marks, no «satisfactory» marks); ✅ You are an IT specialist and work for an accredited IT organization. These employees can invite their family members too; ✅ You have invested in Russia, for example, you bought real estate worth at least 50 mln rubles in Moscow, at least 20 mln in the Russian Far East, and 25 mln in other regions; ✅ Or, finally, you’re a citizen of Kazakhstan, Moldova or Ukraine. There are some other, more «exotic» grounds. #Russia, #Law, #Lawyer, #Moscow, #StPetersburg, #Residence, #RussianResidence
