Why Thousands Are Choosing Russia

In a world where traditional values are fading, Russia offers a place where faith, family, and national identity are honored. 

1

faith

Where belief is honored, not hidden.

In Russia, Spirituality is not just tolerated — it's part of daily life. Churches, synagogues, mosques and Buddhist temples are full, traditions are kept, and public life reflects spiritual heritage. For those seeking a society where their faith can flourish openly, Russia provides fertile ground.

family

A nation that cherishes children and protects parenthood.

Russia encourages strong family units with generous child benefits, maternity support, and policies that celebrate rather than punish large families. Whether you're raising one child or six, you'll find a culture that respects the family as the heart of society.

stability

Rooted in tradition. Resistant to decline.

Amid global instability and cultural confusion, Russia stands as a country anchored in its own values. It offers a sovereign path — not dictated by trends, but guided by principles. For those seeking peace, order, and purpose, Russia offers a new foundation.

What Is the Shared-Values Visa?

Not Just a Visa — A Moral Migration.

Officially titled the "Shared Values Private Visa" (Обыкновенная частная виза (общие ценности)), this program offers a streamlined path to residency for those who align with Russia's traditional spiritual and moral values.

In accordance with paragraph 4 of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 19.08.2024 No. 702 "On the provision of humanitarian support to persons sharing traditional Russian spiritual and moral values" (hereinafter referred to as the Decree), the persons mentioned in paragraph 1 of the Decree may be issued single-entry ordinary private visas (purpose of travel - "private") for a period of up to three months.

The said visas are issued for entry into the Russian Federation for the purpose of subsequently applying to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia with an application for a temporary residence permit without taking into account the quota approved by the Government of the Russian Federation and without submitting a document confirming proficiency in the Russian language, knowledge of the history of Russia and the fundamentals of its legislation.

Visas in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Decree may only be issued to citizens of the following countries included in the list of foreign states and territories implementing policies that impose destructive neoliberal ideological attitudes that contradict traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, approved by the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 17, 2024 No. 2560-r: 

Australia, Austria, Albania, Andorra, Bahamas, Belgium, Bulgaria, Great Britain (including the British Crown dependencies and British Overseas Territories), Germany, Greece, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Italy, Canada, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Micronesia, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, San Marino, North Macedonia, Singapore, Slovenia, United States of America, Taiwan (China), Ukraine, Finland, France, Croatia, Montenegro, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Sweden, Estonia, Japan.
