The State Duma sharply increased fees for obtaining and renouncing Russian citizenship
The State Duma of the Russian Federation has passed a law in the second and third readings that significantly increases the amount of state fees for a number of migration services.
According to the document, the fee for obtaining Russian citizenship, as well as for renouncing it, will increase almost 12 times — from 4,200 to 50,000 rubles.
The cost of obtaining a residence permit will increase fivefold — from 6,000 to 30,000 rubles.
The fee for issuing a temporary residence permit will rise from 1,900 to 15,000 rubles, which is almost eight times.
In addition, the fee for employing foreign citizens will increase to 15,000 rubles per worker.
The initiator of the changes was the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation.
The Chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, previously stated that the increase in fees should become one of the tools for regulating migration flows.
According to him, the authorities aim to attract «established» individuals to the country who have already achieved certain results in life.
Why is Russian citizenship no longer «in vogue»?After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict, there was an unprecedented increase in the forced mobilization of natives from Central Asia, including through promises of citizenship. At the same time, the attitude of the Russian authorities towards new citizens of this country has sharply deteriorated.
Therefore, if previously migrants sought to obtain Russian citizenship to enjoy benefits and avoid the need to pay for patents and street checks by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with the onset of the war, many natives of Central Asian countries, including Tajikistan, began to refuse Russian citizenship due to the risk of forced mobilization and possible death.
