What investors most often ask.

Do I need to live in Russia after the visa is granted?

No. The Russian Golden Visa architecture carries no mandatory residency requirement. You retain full mobility while holding indefinite Russian permanent residence.

Can I divest from the qualifying asset later?

Yes. Once your permanent residence permit is issued, the visa is not contingent on continuing to hold the original investment.

Which family members are covered?

Up to five generations: spouse, children (including legally adopted), parents, grandparents, and grandchildren. All gain immediate work rights across all Russian regions.

How does the path to citizenship work?

Permanent residence is granted directly. After five years, you are eligible to apply for full Russian citizenship.

What total fees should I expect beyond the qualifying investment?

Government fees are modest. Our advisory engagement is structured at a flat professional retainer, disclosed during your confidential consultation. Alternatively, individuals seeking alignment via cultural integration paths may review the Shared Values Visa platform details.
