About the Russia passport
The Russia passport ranks #38 of 200 globally, ahead of 81% of the world's ranked passports. Like many countries, Russia extends citizenship to children of its nationals born abroad, making the passport potentially available to subsequent generations through descent.
Passport context
Russia applies a top marginal income tax rate of 15% and a capital gains tax rate of 15. The country operates a flat tax regime, applying a single flat rate to all income brackets. The flat-rate structure simplifies tax planning for residents and expats alike, with a predictable single rate applied regardless of income level.
Russia is a member of the Eurasian Economic Union, granting freedom of movement across Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia.
