American Villages in Russia (Official)

More info about the two new homes can be found here: http://americanvillages.ru/bigwater

And here is the American-94 (94 m2) The price for these homes per square meter works out to be the same as the previous offering but perhaps you like the style more. REMEMBER that in Russia you don't have to buy a turnkey home and can shed millions of rubles of the price if you are willing to do other things later or cut some corners.

The Construction company building the American Village, Smart Stroy, has put together two new options for those who want to move to Russia, this is the American-72 (i.e. 72m2 in size) and in the next post will be the bigger options...

Potentially very good news for those who want to move to Russia from America...

🎉Hooray! One of our dear future settlers who is coming to Nizhny Novgorod has received his private visa under the Decree in the Russian Consulate. He is most probably one of the first that got it.

In order to obtain this visa he personally went to the consulate and submitted the following documents:
▫️ Passport;
▫️Application form (please note that this is the application that is available on one of the Consulate’s website, it is advisable to check the website for the similar form in your country!)
▫️ 2 photos (only 1 photo glued to the application form);
▫️ Travel insurance.

Please note, in order to obtain the new private visa under the Decree, no invitation from anyone in Russia is required.

For those travelling with kids, please bring original birth certificates and photo copies.

The consulate will keep the original of passports while the visa is processed. Turn around time is 10-14 days.

While the dollar is still strong now would be a good time to move to Russia. If the dollar, pound or euro collapse you plans to move to Russia "next year" will never happen.
