American Villages in Russia
This project is a fully private non-governmental initiative to help native-speakers of English start a new life in Russia by buying a home in one of our communities where they can have the help and support of likeminded individuals.
Why join the American Villages Project?
The Presidential Decree of summer 2024 has finally allowed Westerners to move to Russia en masse! But because of this many people just think they can jump on a plane and move to Russia. This is absolutely not the case and this is why our project is critical for you to build a successful life in Russia.

    No place of residence = No migration to Russia.
    Part of the requirements of moving to Russia is having a legal address. This sounds simple, but in reality virtually no landlords will “risk” providing this for you. Owning your own home removes another major block from immigrating to Russia. To be clear, you are buying land and a home for yourself in Russia, this is NOT a "communal" project.

    We can buy you any land, our construction company can build your dream house.

    Most plots of land cannot be bought by foreigners and yet most foreigners want to live in houses and not commie-block apartments. Our project has the "loop hole" to get around this so you can live in a real home and get the best out of Russia. We can buy you any land you want in the country and build you any home you can afford.

    We’ll get you safely into your own home in a new country.

    Does buying or building a house in a country its fair share of con artists, when you don’t have a source of income or any knowledge of the local language and building codes, sound like a good idea? Of course it isn’t! We can guarantee you a solid home from a solid construction company, otherwise you'll get sold a lemon of a house or live in a commie-block apartment and that's not the life style you came for! We've already built houses for foreigners. The proof is in the pudding!

  • 1
    STEP 1 - Contact Us to select a land plot and home design

    1. Decide if you want to live near Istra in the actual American Village (currently our only location) or look for land elsewhere.
    2. Decide if you want to use one of our stock home designs that are made to be affordable or go for the luxury life style and design something big and original.
    3. All communication goes though the founder of the project Tim Kirby via telegram https://t.me/timkirbyrussia

    STEP 2 - Signing Contracts and Preparing Immigration Documents and Procedures
    After you decide where you want to buy land and what house you like our lawyer's team will draw up all the contacts involved with this project. There is a lot of paperwork involved with this process and all of it should be calmly reviewed by you and signed when you feel comfortable. Feel free to ask questions.

    Next you will need to get all your documents prepared before coming to Russia:
    • Passports - please make sure that the passport has enough empty pages in it to obtain the visa and arrival stamps in it. (4 or 5 free pages)
    • Apostilled birth certificates of all family members
    • Apostilled marriage certificate
    • You will need to apply for a Russian visa in the Russian consulate in your country for each family member that will be coming to Russia.
    • Apostilled criminal record or police check from the country of your citizenship. Please note that it is valid for 90 days from the moment of issue, so it is advisable to request one near to departing for Russia.

    STEP 3 - Immigration Procedures Upon Arrival
    1. Upon arrival in Russia you and all of your family members will need to register at the address of stay within 7 working days. In the case of staying at a hotel, the hotel will do the registration. If you will be staying at an apartment, it’s the landlord that has to do the registration. It is advisable to try and find an apartment before arrival with a landlord that will agree to register you, many of them are NOT eager to do so.
    2. Within 3 months of arrival you and all family members regardless of age will have to pass medical examinations and adults will need to be fingerprinted.
    3. Adult family members (under 70 years old) will eventually have to pass a Russian language test. It is very basic and we can help you get through it.
    4. We will help you file for the quota for temporary residency in the region where the relevant American Village is located.
    5. Then we'll go together to collect the temporary residency and visa after 4-4.5 months from the moment of filing.
    6. After 8 months of residing in Russia based on your temporary residency permit, you can then apply for permanent residency.
    7. Your permanent residency can be collected after 4-4.5 months from the moment of filing.
