Le président Vladimir Poutine durcit les conditions d’accès à la citoyenneté russe pour les étrangers
Russia has tightened the requirements for foreigners seeking citizenship. A decree signed by President Vladimir Putin now requires applicants to submit an official document attesting to the absence of criminal convictions or specifying any offenses committed by the applicant.
According to the text, this document must be issued by the competent authorities of the applicant's country of origin and be less than three months old at the time the application is submitted. The measure applies to both foreign nationals and stateless persons.
This tightening of the policy comes amid a strengthening of Russian migration policy. Last May, the State Duma adopted in its first reading a bill aimed at denying Russian citizenship and residence permits to people with unexpunged criminal records, regardless of the seriousness of the offenses.
The presidential decree does, however, include an exception for certain Ukrainian nationals. Ukrainian citizens and stateless persons who resided permanently in Ukraine before arriving in Russia will be exempt from providing a criminal record extract as part of their naturalization application. This exemption will remain in effect until January 1, 2028.
