Advantages of Russian citizenship: holders of Russian passports have a right to visa-free entry to 135 countries of the world

Foreign students that obtain a Russian diploma of higher education get an opportunity to receive many benefits and privileges. These include: the possibility of employment in any country to your liking and the opportunity to obtain a Russian citizenship (during studying at the university or after graduation), which gives you a right to visa-free entry to 135 countries of the world.

After a number of changes in the migration legislation of Russia, new categories of people have the right to obtain Russian citizenship under the simplified procedure. These include students of the universities of the Russian Federation. In August 2022, the Government of the Russian Federation issued a decree that simplifies the procedure of obtaining citizenship for foreign students of the Russian universities. It is important to note that when obtaining Russian citizenship, it is no longer necessary to renounce your first citizenship.

The possibility of getting Russian citizenship attracts more and more students from all over the world every year. In 2022, Russia again confidently entered the TOP 3 countries of the world in terms of the number of foreign students. In 2022, the number of foreign students in Russia increased by 8.4%. The total number of foreign students receiving higher education in Russia has grown over the past 3 years by more than 80,000 people and today the total number has exceeded 400,000 people. Now Russia ranks third in the world in terms of the number of foreign students studying (after the USA and the UK).

According to the UN, Russia ranks first in the world in terms of literacy of the population and the number of adults with higher education. This is an important indicator of a civilized society in which education is a powerful state resource. Educated people are the highest value of Russia. That is why Russia is always interested in highly qualified specialists: every foreign student after receiving a diploma of higher education has the opportunity to stay in the country and continue their professional development.
