Freedom
Russians have an unparalleled level of personal freedom with their property. Your house is your own to run in any way you see fit.
Russian family law is firmly on the side of the parents and traditional families.
DollarsEuros to Rubles
The Ruble is cheap meaning if you have an average income in your home country, you can live an above average lifestyle here. Dollars and Euros go very far indeed.
Low Taxes
Your foreign accounts can’t be touched by the Russian government.
If you work for yourself in Russia and are a Russian resident you could be paying taxes as low as 6%-13% of your income! That’s it.
Business
Russia is pro business and is systematically starting to remove barriers to small and medium sized businesses. Our rating as places to do business continue to improve year on year.
140+ Million consumers means that anyone with a dream and willing to work hard can create a new life for themselves and their family.
You’re Needed Here
Every foreign person who comes and builds a family and business is very much needed by society. Russia needs you.
Russians welcome immigrants who are prepared to work hard and integrate into Russian society. If you are willing to learn and adapt, Russians are more than happy to welcome you!
Real Estate
Taxes on homes and apartments in Russia are very inexpensive.
There are government programs and grants to help you buy housing for families with many children.
Compared to the West, home ownership is very inexpensive and affordable to just about everyone.
Weather
The weather in Russia is not 365 days of snow. Being a massive country there are many different climates in Russia.
The image of Russia as a giant frozen country is wrong. The largest nation in the world has all types of weather and climate depending on where you decide to settle. Russia even has palm trees down south. Let us help you decide what is right for you and your family!
Lack of Political Correctness
Russians tend to be very direct, sometimes to the point of being almost blunt.
In Russia you still have the freedom to say exactly what you think and to not be worried about what society might say about it.
The lack of politically correct doublespeak is incredibly refreshing to most immigrants and visitors to Russia.
Freedom to be Christian
Christians are quickly becoming a repressed minority in many countries.
Russia is one of the few places where its traditions are growing and not dying. Christians are welcome.
Personal Safety
Many people have been led to believe that Russia is a dangerous place. This is not the case.
The crime rates are low in comparison to western large cities and gun crime is incredibly rare. It is safe to walk the streets at night and not run into trouble.
While there is crime, you are highly unlikely to experience it unless you go looking for trouble.
Compare that to almost any large town in America or Europe.
Quality of Life
Unlike the West, Russia’s Quality of Life index keeps rising. People are living longer, doing more and getting new opportunities.
Russia has more State Holidays and paid vacation days than even some European nations.
Many Russians also enjoy owning secondary real estate for relaxation. Dachas are country houses that many people use strictly to get out of the cities on vacation and to relax in the country air. Relaxation is an important part of Russian culture.
Transport
Is public or private transport a better option? In Russia this doesn’t matter because both are equally developed.
As a major Oil and Gas producer, Russia has inexpensive gasoline and well developed highways and roads.
Equally important, mass transit is affordable, efficient and everywhere. Even taxis here are some of the most affordable in the world!
Medicine
Russia has a State Socialized medical care system with world famous Doctors and Specialists. Base health care is free and provided by the state.
Private plans are very inexpensive and cover complex procedures in private hospitals. Bankruptcies in Russia due to medical expenses are unheard of.
Russia is in the midst of a great modernization of the health care system. New medical equipment and techniques are being added all the time.
Education
The difference in the education systems is startling. Russian children take the the same math classes in 1st and 2nd grade that American kids have in 5th and 6th grade. In Russia kids are pushed and mentored to succeed. The primary, secondary and post secondary education systems in Russia are world class.
Russians deeply value literacy, culture and education. Many Colleges and Universities offer full sponsorship studies for students who have excellent academic records. If you study at a Russian College or University, you really can get ahead in life.
Family
People in Russia want to have families and the country has a very positive attitude towards children. Unlike some other countries, things here are family first.
There are many services provided for children including; state sponsored kindergartens, child healthcare, social programs and grants for housing for multichild households.
Many Western men have found out for themselves how beautiful and intelligent Russian women are. If you don’t yet have a family, a move to Russia may well result in having one.
Work visas
Corporate employers and individual entrepreneurs hiring foreign citizens from visa countries must obtain a special permission-accreditation from the Department for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
Registration of new enterprises
The most common forms of enterprises are limited liability companies (LLC).
The Path towards Russian Citizenship
There is a high demand for foreign specialists who can speak Russian that will pay taxes and benefit the country.
