Does Russia recognize dual citizenship?

Russian law does not explicitly prohibit dual citizenship, but prohibits state officials, law enforcement officers and judges from having dual citizenship, while the law is more relaxed for ordinary people.

According to the Russian Constitution (Article 62), a Russian citizen can be a foreign citizen (dual nationality), which will not damage his/her rights and freedoms, nor will it exempt him/her from fulfilling his/her obligations as a Russian citizen.

However, dual citizenship can only be granted to foreign citizens who have signed special international agreements with Russia. At the time of publication, the agreement was only applicable to Tajikistan, and different types of agreements were signed with Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, providing simplified application procedures without giving up existing nationality.

Starting from 20 14, Russian citizens are required to declare dual citizenship;

A new Russian law stipulates that citizens living in Russia must declare relevant information to the authorities if they have the nationality of other countries or long-term residency at the same time. The law is scheduled to take effect on the 4th, and whistleblowers will be regarded as illegal and face penalties such as fines or community service.

The law was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin on June 438+04, 1965. According to this law, once a Russian citizen obtains another country's nationality or long-term residency, he must report the situation to the Russian Federal Immigration Service within two months, otherwise he will face a fine or 400 hours of community service.
