- Russia signed the "Shared Values Visa" law on August 19, 2024, aimed at simplifying the residence permits for citizens of countries that do not conform to Russia's traditional spirit and values.
- This means that one can obtain a three-month temporary residency without passing the exam.
- The focus of this law is to simplify the residence permit for foreign citizens with traditional Russian spirit and values.
- As long as they comply with Russian values, foreign citizens do not need to prove their knowledge of Russian language, Russian history, or Russian law (without examination), and can obtain a temporary residence permit for three months.
- By simplifying the process, more people can be attracted to settle in Russia, and these foreign citizens must come from countries that oppose Russian values.
- This list applies to 47 regions, including Taiwan.
