Relying on the accelerated production of citizenship can a certain category of individuals who are described in the FZ. This right to a simplified process, first of all, is received by migrants that constantly live in the state. Also, foreign citizens, the ancestors of which lived in Tsarist Russia or the USSR, can also rely on the rapid production of citizens, but within the current state.

Passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation

One of the indispensable conditions for this category of persons is a mandatory refusal of the current citizenship. Nevertheless, there are exceptions to the rules when there is no need to replace from the current citizenship. The exceptions include those situations that are regulated by the international agreements of Russia. No refusal is not necessary if the applicant cannot refuse for reasons, independent of it.

Persons who own the Russian language at a sufficient level or are Russian-speaking, can take advantage of the accelerated procedure. It is noteworthy that at the same time it is not necessary to comply with the conditions for long-term residence in Russia. No need in the presence of a residence permit. It is also not necessary to undergo testing in the Russian language. All that is necessary is to interview with the Commission, which is specifically created for such cases.

There is another concept as dual citizenship.

Double citizenship is a citizen belonging to two and more states with which agreements or agreements are concluded. Currently, there are quite common to have dual citizenship and is the most relevant topic. The presence of two passports in a Russian citizen is possible only when there is a mutually prisoner agreement or an international conclusion with the country to which a citizen belongs.

The designation or term "double citizenship" is perceived by people as the presence of two passports: passports of a citizen of Russia and the passport of a citizen of another state. The presence of two passports and belonging to two states implies the special political and legal rights of a citizen who are concluded not only in the fulfillment of double rights, but also performed by double duties. From a legal point of view, the term dual citizenship means legal ("clean") dual citizenship, which is fixed in the special department of the federal migration service. Double citizenship in Russia is not prohibited, but the official international treaty has been concluded today with two countries: Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, these states retain all rights and obligations to a citizen. A born child in parents with the presence of two citizenships automatically has belonging to both states, therefore also receives dual citizenship. The advantages of dual citizenship are as follows:

  • lack of problem of obtaining visas;
  • simplified form of passage of border control;
  • the possibility of doing business in another state;
  • protection of biapatrides by representatives of both countries;
