Russia residence - my journey

[Alonzo]

From the Bahamas to Russia? I thought the weather for you was a big turnoff.

Are you planning to reside there forever?

You are not required to speak Russian at all to obtain the temporary permit, but you must when you apply for the permanent one, within 3 years (and no sooner than 8 months) - or you are kicked out of the country.

Also, during the language proficiency test, do not say "Не курю" to the examiner - you’ll be kicked out of the country for insufficient integration.

No, I already explained this. It’s a permit, not an obligation.

Thank you, I will keep this in mind.

Here is the visa issued for the specific purpose of filing the residence application, attached to my passport and delivered by courier at home. The presidential decree on which the residence is based is mentioned in the “additional information” field.
