Instruction

Live in Russia for at least five years in a row - this is the time period for citizenship set out in paragraph "a" of part one of article 13 of the Federal Law "On Citizenship" from 31.05.2002. This rule also applies to persons without citizenship. Residence in the territory of the Russian Federation is considered continuous if during this period you have left the country not more than three months annually. The length of your stay in Russia is counted from the date from the date of registration at the place of stay. Don't neglect the design of the document! Also need not conflict with the law (paragraph "b" of part one of article 13), have a legitimate source of livelihood (the item "in") and confirm your knowledge of Russian language (paragraph "d").
