Many migrants from the countries of the former USSR come to Russia, which also include citizens from Tajikistan who wish to become legal residents of the Russian Federation. Tajiks are attracted by job opportunities, a relatively high standard of living and social security, which are available to citizens of the Russian Federation.
How to obtain Russian citizenship to a Tajik citizen?
As a rule, there are no special conditions and features for obtaining permanent residence for Tajiks, since Tajik citizens can become citizens of the Russian Federation under a simplified system. General order takes too long.
How to obtain Russian citizenship to a Tajik citizen? To become a citizen according to generally accepted rules, you must:
- pass an exam for sufficient knowledge of the state language of the Russian Federation;
- to be employed in Russia;
- prepare the necessary documents.
But when obtaining citizenship under a simplified scheme, you need to submit an abbreviated package of documents. In addition, privileges are provided for paying the fee, but this is possible only on the condition that the applicant belongs to the category of persons who can exercise the right to obtain citizenship in a simplified form.
Simplified citizenship scheme
How can I quickly obtain Russian citizenship to a Tajik citizen? The following categories of persons are entitled to receive permanent residence in a simplified form:
- related to the citizens of the Russian Federation who lived in the Soviet Union, within the borders of today's Russia;
- whose relatives live in the territory of the Russian Federation, for example, children, spouse or spouse;
- Persons who studied and received a diploma in Russia;
- proficient in the official language.
A Tajik citizen who wants to obtain Russian status must live in the state for at least 5 consecutive years. But the period can be significantly reduced if the Tajik is a refugee. If a Tajik citizen falls into this category, he must:
- prepare a complete list of papers, certificates and contact the nearest FMS center;
- write an application for citizenship;
- obtain permission to apply for a Russian passport, which is issued approximately 3 months after the date of submission of papers;
- pay state duty.
Documents for obtaining citizenship under a simplified scheme
To obtain Russian citizenship, a Tajik citizen needs to collect the following package of papers:
- residence permit or other document certifying the location of a Tajik in the territory of the Russian Federation;
- passport of a citizen of Tajikistan;
- a statement in which a person expresses a desire to obtain citizenship;
- duty receipt
- set of photos.
In addition, if a Tajik citizen wants to obtain Russian citizenship, he must be provided with a certificate confirming sufficient knowledge of the Russian language. A Tajik educated in Russia is exempted from presenting a certificate.
How to obtain Russian citizenship to a Tajik citizen? The collected documents along with photocopies must be submitted to the migration department, where a decision is subsequently made.
General procedure for obtaining a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation
To obtain citizenship in general order, you should collect almost the same documents, but it should be borne in mind that this method is quite lengthy. The procedure for obtaining a Russian passport includes the following steps:
- temporary residence permit;
- registration of residence;
- obtaining a residence permit in the territory of the Russian Federation;
- acquisition of citizenship.
Between the stages of obtaining a residence permit and the acquisition of citizenship, an interval equal to five years of permanent residence of a Tajik in the territory of the Russian Federation should pass.

- application to the FMS;
- confirmation of employment, certificate of income;
- residence;
- a document confirming the knowledge of the state language at a sufficient level;
- passport of a citizen of Tajikistan;
- duty check.
In general, obtaining a passport in Russia has not changed compared to previous years.
Double citizenship
According to the current legislation of the Russian Federation, nothing prohibits having dual citizenship, that is, two passports. But in this case, the person basically acquires the status of a Russian, and the second identity card will not be recognized. Tajikistan became an exception to this rule, since in 2017 the state signed an international agreement with the Russian Federation.
So, now a Tajik can obtain the status of a citizen of Russia without renouncing his native citizenship. In order to avoid problems, it is imperative to perform a number of formalities. In the case when a Tajik citizen receives a Russian passport, he must inform the migration service of his native state about this. If a person lives permanently in the Russian Federation, then he can ignore this rule.
Documents to be submitted for dual citizenship
Dual citizenship gives advantages and privileges to its owner, such as:
- cross the border of states without hindrance;
- use the system of benefits and social assistance both in the Russian Federation and in Tajikistan;
- along with Russian citizens receive education, find a job, use medical services and more.
How to obtain Russian citizenship to a Tajik citizen? The necessary papers that must be provided for dual citizenship include:
- valid passport;
- internal passport;
- marriage certificate, birth certificates of children, if any;
- confirmation of a stable financial condition;
- receipt of duty paid.
The main certificate, which is valid for crossing the border of two states, is a foreign passport.
Quick acquisition of citizenship of the Russian Federation
There are certain conditions for the purchase of a Russian passport by a Tajik citizen. These include:
- education received in the Russian Federation;
- obtaining citizenship by marriage (it is necessary to be in legal relations with a citizen of the Russian Federation for more than three years);
- the presence of disabled parents, citizens of the Russian Federation.
These documents will help to become a subject of the Russian Federation much faster.
How to obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation to a Tajik citizen by marriage
Legalization in a foreign country is possible on the basis of a marriage certificate - one of the most compelling reasons for contacting the migration service. But do not forget that the conclusion of marriage ties does not lead to a change in the citizenship of one or both spouses. The presence of a document of marriage, fixed by a seal, is the basis for the accelerated legalization process. An unregistered union cannot be the basis for acquiring Russian citizenship.
Citizenship Procedure
How can I obtain Russian citizenship to Tajik citizens by marriage? Marriage provides the basis for faster legalization, but the procedure also provides for some nuances. First of all, newlyweds need to remember that acquiring Russian citizenship is possible only if the following conditions are met:
- Legally living together for more than three years;
- the spouse of a foreigner has the legal status of a subject of the Russian Federation;
- at the time of application, the marriage should not be dissolved.
Plus, the marriage bonds, fixed by the seal of the registry office, can also be considered the minimum time for considering a personal file with a request to grant citizenship of Russia - six months instead of the prescribed twelve.
Temporary Residence Permit (RVP)
The first step on the path to Russian citizenship is the acquisition of a RVP by a foreigner in the Russian Federation. This status, although of a temporary nature, already gives the right to the holder of a PRT to legally live and get a job within the Russian Federation.
It is with this permission that a Tajik citizen needs to live more than three years in marriage with a representative of Russia, since the state must be confident in the sincerity of such a union, and not fictitiousness. Nevertheless, the foreign spouse may not wait for the expiration of the established period, but submit an application for temporary residence after a year.
Further, a Tajik citizen receives a residence permit permit, which gives his holder more extensive rights and obligations that practically equate the Tajik with other residents of Russia. Such permission is given for a five-year period, and each year it is necessary to confirm their presence on the territory of the Russian Federation. Having lived on the territory of Russia, having a residence permit in hand, you can proceed to the next final stage - the direct receipt of a passport and citizenship of the Russian Federation.
