Emigrate to Russia

Living in Russia: A country of contrasts

Russia, the largest country in the world, attracts with breathtaking nature, vibrant cities and low living costs. But emigrating to Russia requires good preparation. In this article, we highlight important facts and aspects that you should consider when planning your move.

Population and settlement structure:

With 144 million inhabitants, Russia is one of the most populous countries in the world, although the population density is very low due to the huge area. Around 80% of the population live in the west of the country, while the east and north are sparsely populated. Around 8% of the inhabitants are migrants, with many of these groups having Russian roots and migrating back from neighboring countries.

Living in nature:

Russia offers nature lovers a paradise of dense forests, crystal-clear lakes and majestic mountain ranges. The landscape diversity extends over nine time zones and three climate zones, from subtropical in the south to the polar zone in the north.

Emigrating to Russia:

The hurdles for a residence permit are relatively high in Russia. The first step is to apply for a work visa from the future employer. Most emigrants are drawn to Moscow, the economic center of the country. Russia is attractive in terms of taxation, with an income tax of just 13%.

Cost of living:

Compared to Western Europe, life in Russia is cheap. The most expensive city, Moscow, is not comparable in price to other world metropolises. In the other regions, costs vary greatly depending on lifestyle and desired level of comfort.

Health system:

Basic medical care is free in Russia according to the constitution, but the public health system suffers from a lack of investment. The quality is better in urban centers, but not at international level. Private health insurance is therefore recommended.

Quality of life and destinations:

Russia offers a variety of living spaces. Whether a vibrant metropolis or a rural idyll, there is something for every taste. Popular destinations are Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar and Kaliningrad.

Conclusion:

Emigrating to Russia requires careful planning and thorough research. Those who overcome the challenges can find a new home in a country full of contrasts and experience Russia’s breathtaking nature, culture and hospitality.

Living in Russia: Overview of major cities

In addition to breathtaking nature, Russia also offers vibrant metropolises that lure with a wide range of opportunities. Below we highlight four popular destinations for expats: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan and Sochi.

Moscow: The Russian capital is a magnet for expats looking for excellent job opportunities and a cosmopolitan flair. Here you will find top salaries, a diverse cultural scene and a well-developed public transport system.

St. Petersburg: Russia’s “second capital” impresses with its architectural beauty, a somewhat quieter atmosphere and an active nightlife. The cost of living is lower than in Moscow, but so are the job opportunities.

Kazan: This unique city combines Muslim and Russian influences and offers a high quality of life. The architectural diversity, cleanliness and organization of the city are impressive. English teachers and tourism professionals will find interesting job opportunities here.

Sochi: Winter sports fans and nature lovers will get their money’s worth in Sochi on the Black Sea. The city scores with its breathtaking mountain scenery, mild climate and modern infrastructure. The job market for foreigners is smaller, but English teachers find good opportunities here.

Conclusion:

All four cities offer interesting prospects for emigrants. The choice of the ideal destination depends on your individual needs and preferences. Whether you prefer the dynamism of a metropolis, appreciate quiet living in the countryside or are looking for a touch of exoticism, you will find your new home in Russia.

Can I obtain a second citizenship in a country of my choice even though it does not offer an official citizenship program, but the government is interested in individuals or investors who provide a benefit to the country and are therefore granted citizenship!
