By law, any citizen of Russia is also entitled to have a second citizenship. For some, the need to obtain a second citizenship is caused by marital status, for some it is a kind of a means of possible retreat, a means of starting life anew. Most often, Russians think about obtaining citizenship of Canada, the United States or Great Britain, as well as about the so-called "purchase of citizenship" by investment. This way you can "buy" the citizenship of small island states such as Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Instructions
Step 1
Canadian citizenship is convenient in that it allows you to travel without a visa to this Europe and the United States. To obtain Canadian citizenship, you must first obtain a permanent residence (permanent residence) in Canada, since a prerequisite for obtaining Canadian citizenship is the person's physical presence in Canada for at least three years for permanent residence. In Canada, there is a so-called residency requirement. If you want to become a Canadian citizen, you must prove that you have been physically in Canada for 1,095 days, or three years out of the last five years.
Step 2
US citizenship is required for those who are going to work in US government agencies. Any person who was born in the States or in the territories belonging to them (by right of soil) can obtain US citizenship. A child born overseas to parents who are US citizens will also be a US citizen (blood law). Everyone else first needs to get a Green Card. This is a permanent residence permit that does not always guarantee the acquisition of US citizenship. You can remain a permanent resident of the States for life. The standard period of naturalization in the United States implies permanent residence in the United States for five years, and for those who are married to a US citizen - for three years. It is important to know English at a working level and not have a criminal record.
Step 3
the child was born in the UK from a British citizen, then he is a British citizen), blood rights (if one of the child's parents is a British citizen, then the child is also a British citizen), naturalization, registration, and also through adoption. Most often, British citizenship is obtained through naturalization. The time frame for obtaining citizenship through naturalization depends on whether the applicant is married to a British citizen or citizen. If he is married, then naturalization will be shortened - 3 years, and if not, then 6 years. It is also important to know English.
Step 4
The so-called "citizenship by investment" can be obtained on the islands of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The amount of investment required to obtain citizenship varies from $ 200,000 to $ 350,000, depending on the area of investment. The essence of obtaining citizenship by investment is that, subject to the contribution of a certain amount to a particular sector of the economy, the investor and his family members receive the citizenship of Saint Kitts and Nevis, even if they did not live and do not live in this state. Similarly, you can obtain citizenship in other states (for example, in Dominica, Austria).
