RUSSIA JUST LAUNCHED A TALENT RESIDENCY VISA

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 883 of December 2, 2025
"On Supporting the Resettlement of Foreign Citizens that are of Interest to Russia to the Russian Federation, and on the Specifics of Their Legal Status in the Russian Federation"

Decree allows foreign nationals that represent interest to Russia in scientific, economical, investment, industrial, educational, sports spheres, possibility to apply either for 3-year residency without immigration quota or passing the Russian language test, or directly for permanent residency

Foreign nationals can apply for a talent residency visa as of 15th of April 2026

The main takeaway is that Decree is applicable not only to citizens of non-friendly countries as the 702 Decree.

In case foreign national is recognized as representing interest to Russia due to his qualification or achievements such foreign national is exempt from 821 Decree when applying for permanent residency

☦ Orthodoxy in Honkong

“Why did the martyrs rejoice while being tortured? Not because they were fanatics; they rejoiced because the power of God was at work within them, turning those tortures into nothing. Some did not even feel the pain of the tortures, can you imagine?! The life of God so filled them to overflowing that they became founts of grace. To this day their relics work miracles. People touch the relics of a saint and are healed of the gravest diseases. And the very bodies of the saints have gone untouched by decay for millennia. Why? Because the life of God filled even their bodies to overflowing, to say nothing of their souls. And this is our hope: life in God Himself, in His source of strength. This is attainable for all who are baptized, if they wish it, but not for the unbaptized. The chief means is through Communion: a person who does not commune of the Body and Blood will never attain this.”
