Residence routes in Russia
No investment, own-income or remote-work route is on file for Russia yet; the work, family and other routes on file are below.
"Minimum" is a cited investment threshold in its stated currency. A USD figure appears only when a supported conversion is on file; "—" means no supported amount is on file, not that it is free. "To citizenship" counts the years of residence before a naturalisation application. A zero-year entry states no residence wait; citizenship still needs a separate decision.

Decree 702 temporary residence for listed-country citizens
Only for Swiss citizens, US citizens.
This is the narrow humanitarian residence route under Decree 702, not a general employment route. The listed passport set omits British overseas variants and Ukrainian entry because they need separate rule checks.
