⚡️ Under Presidential Decree No. 883 of December 12, 2025, the Russian Federation is introducing a new impatriation framework aimed at supporting the relocation to permanent residence of foreign nationals and stateless persons who wish to contribute their skills and expertise in Russia.

👉 The programme is aimed for foreign nationals who:
• have achievements in science, technology, production, sports, creative industries, culture, or education;
• have made a contribution to society, the economy, or Russia’s defence and security;
• possess highly sought-after professions, qualifications, or skills.

👉 Key features of the programme:
• Open to citizens of all countries worldwide;
• Accelerated migration procedures:
– temporary residence permit without quotas or exams;
– direct access to a permanent residence permit.

👉 Support and integration:
• Spouses, parents, children (including adopted or under guardianship) are eligible to relocate together with the impatriate;
• Impatriates and their families receive end-to-end support at both the federal and regional levels, including through the Regional Standard for Impatriate Integration, implemented on a one-stop shop basis in pilot regions.

✅ Applications for impatriate status open on April 15, 2026.

Supervised by Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Agency for Strategic Initiatives, the programme marks Russia’s first immigration initiative focused specifically on attracting global talent, combining legal certainty, streamlined procedures, and comprehensive integration support.
