Simplified acquiring of citizenship of the Russian Federation by residents of South Ossetia will become possible in the near future, President of the Republic of South Ossetia Anatoly Bibilov said live on his Instagram page.
He has reminded that in August last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an order to sign an Agreement with South Ossetia on dual citizenship and on a simplified procedure for acquisition Russian citizenship by citizens of the Republic.
“As you know, the Dual Citizenship Agreement with Russia was signed and ratified in South Ossetia, now the State Duma is ratifying it, literally in a short time the document will be ratified in the Federation Council, and the mechanism for obtaining Russian citizenship will actually be implemented. I hope that this whole mechanism will be implemented in a short time, in about a month,” the President said.
He has noted that the deputies of the State Duma are ready to ratify the Agreement in the near future, exchange instruments of ratification and already move on to the practical plane of the mechanism for acquiring Russian citizenship.
