It is this parameter that will allow the listed persons to understand whether they can count on receiving a Russian passport, or whether they will have to wait for a more favorable time to process the documents.
Most people do not know what it is and how this quota can be obtained. Let's consider this question.
Why is this necessary?
The distribution of quotas for obtaining Russian citizenship is necessary in situations where the flow of migrants in our state is too high, and therefore it is worth establishing a certain number of places for foreigners so that they can obtain Russian resident status without obstacles.
These measures are mandatory for any state, and Russia is no exception in this situation.
It is important to understand that quotas are established annually. For example, in 2020 it was established that 20,000 foreigners could obtain a Russian passport.
The following year, the quotas were increased by another 5,000 places, and thus the total number of migrants intending to obtain citizenship almost coincided with the number of quotas.
Of course, at present it is very difficult for the migration service to distribute quotas for each year, and therefore this responsibility has been shifted to the Russian government.
Quotas: what is it and what is it for?
As part of migration policy, quotas make it possible to control the number of visitors wishing to move to the country for a long time. In simple words, a quota is a kind of permission to obtain a particular status. For example, in Russia, quota migrants receive a temporary residence permit. Also in our country there are quotas on the number of work permits for visitors from other countries.
The number of quotas is within the competence of the government. It is the authorities who decide how many quota places to allocate per year.
How to obtain a quota for Russian citizenship
Every repatriate and stateless person should definitely keep in mind the fact that in order to receive a quota for registration of Russian resident status, it is necessary to have the required grounds and documents.
You can always get acquainted with the list of documents either at the Russian Embassy in your own state, or at the migration service of our country on Russian territory.
It is worth noting that despite the regulation by the Russian government of the number of quotas, all information is located in the department of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and therefore the necessary information for citizens can be obtained from this department.
As for the actual actions on the part of foreigners to obtain a quota for citizenship, it is important to be prepared and have on hand all the necessary documents that may be required by migration service employees.
These documents include a standard package for entry into Russian residency, which includes the following elements:
- Internal passport.
- International passport.
- Bank account statement.
- Certificate of no criminal record.
- Certificate of absence of illness.
- Receipt of payment of the duty.
- Photos.
- Other documents that will prove the existence of grounds for acquiring citizenship.
For citizens of Tajikistan
These persons have certain privileges when obtaining Russian citizenship.
The fact is that Tajikistan is one of the most friendly states for Russia, and between them there is a corresponding international agreement that regulates the possibility of obtaining citizenship between citizens of both countries in one direction and the other way.
Accordingly, citizens of Tajikistan can, if they have relatives with a Russian passport, obtain citizenship in a simplified manner.
That is why quotas for these persons are always available, and citizens of Tajikistan do not have to worry about being denied Russian resident status.
But here it is also important to keep in mind that such persons should not have any limiting or restraining factors that could influence the refusal to issue a Russian passport.
Ukraine
Despite the strained political relations between Russia and Ukraine, citizens of the former Soviet republic can also receive a citizenship quota under an accelerated regime.
To do this, they just need to collect a basic package of documents and contact the Russian migration service.
It is important to note that Ukrainians are one of the few peoples who can receive a residence permit virtually at any time.
If many foreigners have to apply for a citizenship quota within a strictly allotted time, then Ukrainians can virtually always apply and receive the appropriate permit.
It is also important to understand that Ukrainians, in any case, must have relatives who are Russian citizens. Only in this situation will a Ukrainian be able to obtain Russian citizenship in a simplified manner and can count on a quick consideration of the application.
It is imperative to document these grounds, otherwise migration service employees will consider issuing a citizenship quota only according to the general procedure.
Armenia
Any citizen of Armenia can also count on receiving a Russian passport in a simplified manner. Any citizen from a country of the former USSR can count on receiving a Russian passport under an accelerated procedure.
See how to pass the citizenship exam in Russian. Obtaining Romanian citizenship for Russians. Find it at the link.
To do this, you must present documents that prove the fact of having citizenship of the former union republic, as well as the fact of residence on the territory of the USSR or Russia.
As for citizens of Armenia specifically, there are also no deterrents for them that would allow migration officials to declare a refusal to receive a Russian passport.
This means that Armenian citizens have the right to apply for a citizenship quota at any time. But it is imperative that they have all the documents required by specialists from the departments of the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It is also important to understand that citizens of Armenia are a privileged category of persons who can count on receiving a Russian passport, and, in accordance with this, they will necessarily undergo the procedure for obtaining citizenship only under an accelerated regime.
Peculiarities
In Russia, situations sometimes arose when the total number of migrants exceeded the permissible number of quotas for obtaining a Russian passport.
Of course, a similar situation occurs in every country, and therefore additional measures are necessary in order not to offend anyone and, if there is a special desire to obtain a passport from our country, to make this possible for foreigners.
That is why the Russian Government has decided to allocate reserve quotas for obtaining citizenship.
This means that in the event that the number of foreigners applying for citizenship in Russia to the migration service exceeds the permissible norm, a reserve fund of quotas for the status of a Russian citizen becomes available.
Of course, the number of reserve quotas is small, but in most cases the government correctly calculates this number, and therefore none of the repatriates and stateless persons who applied to the Russian migration service for registration of Russian resident status are left offended.

Statement
It is important to understand that in order to obtain a quota for citizenship in our country, a foreigner must submit, along with the main package of documents, a corresponding application according to the model established by this legislation.
A foreigner can always receive this application when contacting the migration service.
It is important to understand that the application must be filled out correctly and in accordance with the requirements put forward by our migration services.
In particular, it is important to keep in mind the fact that in no case should the application contain incorrect data.
If a migration service employee, when checking an application, realizes that a foreigner has used forged documents or incorrect information, in this situation he will definitely announce a refusal to assign a quota for obtaining citizenship, and the foreigner may also be banned from entering the Russian Federation.
Under no circumstances should you engage in falsification of data, since this could actually end up threatening not only administrative deportation from Russia, but also a real criminal sentence.
It is also important to keep in mind that a foreigner should not make mistakes or typos in the application itself. Under no circumstances should corrections be allowed or corrective means used.
In this case, the foreigner may lose a certain amount of time and ultimately not receive the necessary quota.
The Russian Government Approved the Quota for RVP for Foreigners for 2021
November 2, 2015. Moscow. RUSSKG.RU – The Russian government has approved a quota for temporary residence (TRP) of foreign citizens and stateless persons in Russia for the new year 2016.
Order of the Government of Russia dated October 29, 2015 No. 2197-r for 2021 establishes a quota for issuing 125 thousand 900 temporary residence permits in the Russian Federation to foreign citizens and stateless persons with distribution among the constituent entities of the Federation in accordance with their applications (in 2015 the quota was 151 thousand 175 permits, in 2014 - 146 thousand 627 permits). Compared to 2015, quotas were reduced by almost 25.3 thousand. It is worth noting that during the year a number of Russian regions ask to increase quotas and the Russian government, as a rule, approves the requests. So this year, the quota for issuing temporary residence permits in Russia to foreign citizens and stateless persons was increased from 128 thousand 55 permits to 151 thousand 175 permits. Quotas for Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Crimean Federal District, and the Kaliningrad Region did not change compared to 2015 and amounted to 2000, 1500, 1900 and 4000 permits, respectively. Traditionally, this government decision is prepared by the Federal Migration Service of Russia in order to implement paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Federal Law “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation” and part one of Article 258 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation”. The size of the quota for 2021 was established on the basis of proposals received by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation before October 1 of this year, prepared taking into account the migration situation and economic situation in each specific region. The order is aimed at increasing the efficiency of regulation of migration processes and ensuring uniform application of legislative norms on the formation and establishment of quotas for the issuance of temporary residence permits to foreign citizens and stateless persons in Russia as a whole and in each region. A temporary residence permit is a confirmation of the right of a foreign citizen to temporarily reside and work in Russia. Now, as a rule, it is issued by those foreigners who in the future expect to receive a residence permit in the country, and then citizenship. A temporary residence permit in Russia is issued for three years, extension is not provided. We also remind you that without taking into account the quota approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, a temporary residence permit can be issued to a foreign citizen: 1) born on the territory of the RSFSR and formerly held citizenship of the USSR or born on the territory of the Russian Federation; 2) recognized as disabled and having a capable son or daughter who is a citizen of the Russian Federation; 3) having at least one disabled parent who is a citizen of the Russian Federation; 4) married to a citizen of the Russian Federation with a place of residence in the Russian Federation; 5) who has made investments in the Russian Federation in the amount established by the Government of the Russian Federation. In accordance with the implementation plan for the second stage of the Concept of State Migration Policy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025, approved on October 22, 2015, in 2016–2020 there will be improvements in the institutions of temporary residence permits, residence permits and other activities.
