인트로: 2025년 러시아 전국 단위 혜택 지형도

Get Your Money’s Worth Series: Russia
Introduction: Russia’s 2025 National Benefits Landscape
In 2025, Russia’s national policies are undergoing significant shifts, characterized by a dual focus: boosting state revenue through comprehensive tax reform while simultaneously addressing demographic decline with robust family and childbirth incentives. For foreigners, the landscape is complex; while Russia is rolling out streamlined programs to attract specific high-skilled talent, it is also tightening general immigration controls and introducing new digital monitoring systems. This guide will dissect these changes to help you navigate and maximize the benefits available in Russia, whether you are a local citizen, foreign worker, student, or immigrant.
Detailed Guide to 2025 Major Benefits
1. Tax System: Major Reforms and Benefits
Russia is implementing its most significant tax overhaul in years. The primary goal is to increase budget revenue, but new targeted benefits are also being introduced, especially for families.
| Benefit / Change | Details |
|---|---|
| New Progressive Income Tax | • Russian Citizens & Residents: A 5-tier progressive scale replaces the flat tax. The 13% rate is maintained for annual incomes up to 2.4 million rubles. Rates increase to 15%, 18%, 20%, and a maximum of 22% for higher income brackets. • Foreign Workers: Tax residency status determines the applicable rates. |
| Family Tax Rebate | • Russian Citizens & Residents: Families with two or more children, where the per-person income is less than 1.5 times the minimum subsistence level, are eligible for a 7% tax rebate. The tax deduction amount for the second and subsequent children will double. |
| Corporate Tax Changes | • Businesses: The corporate income tax rate will increase from 20% to 25%. However, to encourage growth, companies can claim an investment tax credit of up to 50% of their federal profit tax against eligible capital expenditures. |
| IT Industry Tax Rate | • IT Businesses: The preferential corporate tax rate for the IT sector will rise from 0% to 5%. |
| New Tourism Tax | • All Travelers: A tourism tax will be introduced in select cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. In 2025, it will be 1% of the accommodation cost, increasing annually to a maximum of 5% by 2029. |
| “Unfriendly Country” Restrictions | • Foreigners from designated countries (including South Korea): The requirement to obtain approval from a Russian government commission for real estate and securities transactions remains in place for 2025. |
2. Child Welfare and Childbirth Incentives
Addressing its low birth rate is a top priority for the Russian government, leading to a significant expansion of financial support for families.
| Benefit / Change | Details |
|---|---|
| “Family” National Project | • Russian Citizens: A massive national project running from 2025 to 2030, with a budget of approximately 18 trillion rubles, focused on supporting families, especially those with multiple children. |
| Maternity Capital (Expanded) | • Russian Citizens & Eligible Residents: The one-time payment for childbirth will be increased. In 2025, this is approximately 677,000 rubles for the first child and 894,000 rubles for the second. This capital can be used for housing improvements, children’s education, or the mother’s pension. |
| Childbirth Grant for University Students | • Female University/Graduate Students (All Nationalities): To encourage childbirth among young women, the grant for female students will be increased up to 10-fold, reaching a maximum of 235,424 rubles depending on the regional cost of living. This applies to all students, including foreigners enrolled in Russian universities. |
| Unified Child Allowance | • Low-Income Families (Citizens & Residents): A unified allowance for children continues to be available for low-income families who meet specific income and asset criteria. Social allowances, including child benefits, are set to increase by 9.5% in February 2025 to adjust for inflation. |
3. Visa and Immigration Policies for Foreigners
Russia’s 2025 visa policy is a mix of targeted openness and increased control. The government aims to attract specific talent while implementing stricter digital monitoring for all visitors.
| Policy / Change | Details |
|---|---|
| Special Program for Skilled Immigrants | • Foreign Professionals: A program for attracting specialists who share Russia’s “traditional values” offers a simplified path to a Temporary Residence Permit (RVP). RVP holders under this program can work without a separate permit, start a business, access national health insurance, and travel freely. After one year, they become eligible to apply for permanent residency. |
| New Rules for Visa-Free Entry (from June 30, 2025) | • Travelers from Visa-Free Countries: Foreigners entering Russia without a visa must pre-register through the “ruID” mobile app. This involves submitting an electronic application and personal data at least 72 hours before arrival. This does not apply to those entering with any type of visa, including e-visas. |
| E-Visa System Expansion | • Tourists & Business Travelers from 64 countries: The unified e-visa system continues to expand, with 105 border checkpoints now accepting it. The e-visa is processed within 4 days without needing an invitation letter or hotel booking and is valid for tourism, business, or humanitarian visits. |
| Digital Profile & Stricter Controls (2026-2030 Plan) | • All Foreigners: A new long-term migration concept includes creating a “digital profile” for every foreigner, containing biometric data, residence, and employment information. This signals a future of enhanced monitoring and control over the foreign population. |
| Reduced Quotas for Temporary Residence | • General Immigrants: The general quota for Temporary Residence Permits (RVPs) has been cut nearly in half for 2025, down to 5,500. This makes it more difficult for those not qualifying for special programs to obtain residency. |
| Amnesty for Undocumented Migrants | • Undocumented Foreigners: A 2025 amnesty decree (No. 1126) provides a limited window (until April 30, 2025) for undocumented migrants to legalize their status, requiring employer sponsorship, payment of fines, and submission of necessary documents. |
4. Medical Aid and Insurance
Russia continues its efforts to modernize healthcare and improve access, although budget priorities are tight.
| Benefit / System | Details |
|---|---|
| High-Tech Medical Aid | • Russian Citizens: An additional 60 billion rubles have been allocated to federal clinics for high-tech medical assistance in 2025. This allows more citizens with mandatory health insurance (OMS) to receive advanced treatments for free. |
| National Health Projects | • Russian Citizens: The “Long and Active Life” and “Innovative Technologies for Health Preservation” national projects are underway, with significant funding allocated to improve life expectancy and develop medical technology, including radiopharmaceuticals and cancer diagnostics. |
| Medical Insurance | • Russian Citizens: Covered by the mandatory health insurance system (OMS). • Foreigners: All foreigners are required to have medical insurance valid in Russia. Those with a Temporary Residence Permit (RVP) or Permanent Residency (VNZh) are typically eligible to join the OMS system. Foreign workers without residency permits must be covered by their employer or purchase private insurance (DMS). |
| Scholarships for Medical Students | • International Students: Russia offers a number of full scholarships for international students to study medicine, with the government covering 80-90% of the tuition fees. |
5. Pension System
The pension system is seeing adjustments for inflation, but the major structural changes from previous years remain in effect.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Pension Increases | • Russian Pensioners: To combat high inflation, insurance pensions will be increased by 9.5% from January 1, 2025, and social pensions by 14.75% from April 1, 2025. |
| Retirement Age | • Russian Citizens: The gradual increase in the retirement age, part of the 2018 reform, continues. The standard retirement age is being raised to 65 for men and 60 for women. 2025 is a “gap year” where few people will qualify for standard retirement, though exceptions exist for certain groups. |
| Foreigners | • Foreign Residents: Foreign citizens with permanent residency (VNZh) who have paid into the Russian Pension Fund are generally eligible for a Russian pension under the same rules as citizens. |
6. Housing and Other Subsidies
Direct government support for housing is limited, but some indirect benefits exist.
| Type | Details |
|---|---|
| Housing Support | • Russian Citizens: The popular government-subsidized mortgage program for new builds largely ended in 2024, leading to a market cooldown. However, the “Family Mortgage” program continues. Maternity Capital can also be used as a down payment or to pay off a mortgage. • Foreigners: No direct government housing subsidies are generally available. |
| Student Support (Korean Nationals) | • Ethnic Korean Students: The South Korean government offers a “2025 Overseas Korean Local Scholarship” for ethnic Korean (Koryoin) students in Russia, CIS countries, and China, providing an annual stipend of $1,200. |
| General Subsidies | Information on new general subsidies for daily necessities in 2025 is limited. The primary support mechanism for the population is the indexation of pensions and social benefits to match inflation. |
Conclusion: Key Steps to Maximize Your Benefits
Navigating Russia’s 2025 benefits system requires staying informed and being proactive. Here are some key tips:
- For Families: If you have two or more children, meticulously check your eligibility for the new family tax rebate. The savings could be substantial. Also, understand the rules for using Maternity Capital for housing or education.
- For Foreign Professionals: Don’t assume the general tightening of immigration applies to you. Investigate the Special Program for Skilled Immigrants; if you qualify, it offers a fast track to residency and significant freedoms.
- For Visa-Free Travelers: Be prepared for the new
ruIDmobile app requirement starting in mid-2025. Set it up before your trip to avoid entry issues. - For All Taxpayers: Familiarize yourself with the new progressive tax brackets. If you are a high-earner, plan accordingly for a higher tax liability.
- For Students: If you are a female student, be aware of the massively increased childbirth grants. International students should actively seek out scholarships like the “Open Doors”program for tuition-free education.
