On July 9, 2019, the State Duma agreed in its first reading the draft law No. 709422-7, providing for increase of state duty for issuing a permanent residence permit from 3,500 rubles to 5,000 rubles.
If adopted, this draft law will enter into force no earlier than the entry into force of another draft law No. 709474-7 (also agreed in first reading) that simplifies the procedure for granting temporary residence permits and permanent residence permits to foreign citizens who speak Russian.
It is also proposed to issue a temporary residence permit to certain categories of foreign citizens (born in Russia, investors, married to a citizen of Russia, etc.) without considering quotas. It is proposed to expand the circle of foreign citizens who can receive a permanent residence permit without obtaining a temporary residence permit.
It is proposed to introduce an indefinite permanent residence permit, except for the cases of its issuance to highly qualified specialists and their family members (for the duration of the work permit) and qualified specialists (for three years).
