Russian Golden Visa
Apply for the Permanent Residency in Russia for you and your family.
What is Russian Golden Visa?
The Russian "Golden Visa," officially known as the Investor Visa, was introduced in January 2023. It provides foreign investors and their families a direct path to permanent residency (PRP) in Russia, skipping the usual temporary residence (TRP) stage.
As of early 2026, the program has undergone notable updates, particularly regarding residency requirements and application accessibility.

Key Benefits & Recent Changes
- Zero Physical Presence: A significant legal update in late 2025/early 2026 eliminated the requirement for Golden Visa holders to stay in Russia for six months a year. This makes it a viable "Plan B" for those not ready to relocate full-time.
- Family Inclusion: The permit covers a wide family circle, including spouses, children, parents, grandparents, and even grandchildren.
- Fast Track to Citizenship: Holders can apply for Russian citizenship after 5 years of permanent residency.
- Banking Access: It allows investors to open local bank accounts and, in some cases, provides a mechanism to unlock "Type-C" funds held under sanctions.
Investment Pathways
To qualify, an investor must meet one of the following criteria (minimums are based on the latest 2026 regulatory thresholds):
- Real EstatePurchasing property with a cadastral value of at least RUB 50 million in Moscow, RUB 20 million in the Far East, or RUB 25 million elsewhere. The property must be a new build (less than 2 years old) and held for at least one year before applying.
- Business PurchasePurchasing a Russian company (as a sole owner) that has operated for at least 2 years and pays at least RUB 4 million in annual taxes. Alternative way is to сreate a company in Russia and achieve profitability levels that will ensure tax payments of no more than 4 million rubles per year.
- Investment in the existing businessInvesting at least RUB 30 million in a Russian company that is at least 3 years old and paid at least RUB 6 million in taxes in the previous year. Both private equity or stock market investment apply.
