Russia residence - my journey

[JohnnyDoe]

does this residency with real estate makes you a tax resident?

Yes. This will allow me to benefit from the residents taxation rate of 15% instead of 30% on local earned income.

How many days per year do you need to stay in russia to keep your residency ?

183, like in every country. But this doesn’t mean you can’t travel for more than 182 days.

I bought a pied a terre for now. But you can rent or live in a hotel if you wish.

How can a person travel for more than 182 days in a year, if they stayed for 183 days in Russia?

Freedom of movement. The 183 days rule is just one of the many parameters they look at.
