Obtaining Russian citizenship by marriage

Everyone knows that legalization in a foreign country through marriage is a common phenomenon, this is one of the frequent reasons for applying to the migration department. Russia is no exception. Since 2003, this process has become available in a simplified mode. Today, it is possible to obtain Russian citizenship by marriage without unnecessary bureaucratic red tape and quickly enough.

The law says

Initially, we note that the fact of creating a family, confirmed by a stamp in the registry office, does not lead to a change in the citizenship of one or both spouses. This is only the basis for simplified legalization in the future.

Russian laws state that an unregistered marriage cannot serve as a basis for a migrant to acquire civil status. A prerequisite is the consolidation of relations in the book of acts of civil status of Russians in Russia and confirmation

Marriages that did not take place in Russia, as well as those that were concluded according to the legislative norms of another power, are not recognized in Russia. That is, the newlyweds need to go to the registry office and legalize their marriage there or conclude it in the Federation initially.

Entry into citizenship

Russian citizenship by marriage is available, as indicated earlier. However, this process has certain nuances.

The newly created family, first of all, must be aware of what will be available if they are observed.

  • at the time of the petition, the marriage had not broken up;
  • husband (or wife) must be a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • newlyweds must live in marriage for 3 years (minimum).

The main difference from legalization in the general order is that residence in the Russian Federation on a general basis cannot exceed a five-year period. Marriage by two years shortens this period. In addition, the application for citizenship is considered not for 12 months, but for six months.

RVP

The first step on the not easy path to joining the Russian community -. Although this is a temporary status, it allows its holder to legally reside and exercise

The procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship by marriage assumes that a foreign citizen can stay in the country under the TRP for three years. This is provoked by the fact that the authorities want to understand whether the marriage is sincere, whether there is fictitiousness in it. But the foreign spouse of a Russian may not wait until three years have passed. Documents for obtaining the next permit are allowed to be submitted in a year.

Having lived for two years on a residence permit, you can “step over” to the next step, which leads to

Citizenship

By the time you apply for citizenship, you must have:

  • three years of marriage (legal) with a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • knowledge of the language, laws and culture of the Federation;
  • no violation of the law.

Documents for citizenship by marriage will require the following:

  • A check confirming the payment of the state duty (the amount of 3,500 rubles);
  • A photocopy of the application for renunciation of the old citizenship or a paper confirming the withdrawal from it;
  • Russian passport of the spouse (s), with the introduction of permanent registration;
  • a document on the right to reside temporarily in a certain living space;
  • documentary confirmation of the estate of income;
  • three photographs;

The last document may not be provided by persons who are incapacitated and pensioners. The verdict on conferring Russian status under a simplified scheme is issued by the migration service. But we must remember that if the fact of the fictitious union is discovered, then the decision will not be made in your favor.
