Yes. This will allow me to benefit from the residents taxation rate of 15% instead of 30% on local earned income.
183, like in every country. But this doesn't mean you can't travel for more than 182 days.

I bought a pied a terre for now. But you can rent or live in a hotel if you wish.

Freedom of movement. The 183 days rule is just one of the many parameters they look at.

My personal situation is unlikely to be applicable to other people. Anyway, the process is rather simple, and you can even buy in cash. The most tedious part is registering your presence with the local municipality, which I will complete later when I go to Russia (I plan to do so in January 25).
As promised, I will post step by step updates, be patient! But I won't disclose personal info like how and where I bought real estate, who assists me on the ground (Beside lawyers) etc 😉

Hi John its very interresting to see your journey as i always wanted to get a russian residency as backup however i have some doubts to interfere with my other settings.
I applied for a mauritius residency so i would not have or only low tax on income from outside of mauritius.
There is also a non dom plan which is perfect as i don't want to stay there for a long time per year.
after 3-5 years i can apply for a citizenship which opens doors to a lot of countries.I would even claim better than any european ones.
However as a backup plan︀ i would like to have a russian residency too but would it colide with my︁ residency in mauritius ?
Do i need to get russian tax resident to get the︂ residency ?Would it interfere with the tax residency in mauritius ?
Can you elobarate the︃ cost of the local chamber who is supporting you?

There is no conflict. But you have to disclose to Russia where you are currently residing and the rule (Which can be bypassed if you have a good reason) is that you apply for the visa with the embassy in your country of residence.
There is no distinction between residence and tax residence.
Russia applies taxation on a worldwide basis. You need to make your own considerations.
100k Rub for the service plus around 20k for the various costs in state offices. I also have a local friend who helps me, in particular with the real estate.

I'm not going to publicize my Russian residence in the West.

No I mean Russian gov has currency control laws for "currency residents" in Russia.
If they find that currency resident received foreign currency to the bank outside of Russia, they can impose severe (up to 100% tax) penalties on such transaction. It was a thing before 2022, not sure if sanctions made this regulation more flexible.

Russia is not going to be informed of what I do abroad.
