      You need 10 years of residence before you can apply, and from what I hear from friends it’s not a sure thing. So you may be stuck living as a resident for much longer than that.

      Is it fair to not being able to go see your relatives for years/decade+? I’d pay that price for getting out of russia (well I already am paying it, albeit not to Lithuania) doesn’t make it right tho.

      But then again, as long as ru/br immigrants are still able to enter, live and obtain citizenship, can’t really be mad at the baltics they’re in a tough position.

        The article says no more then once every three months, how is this years/decades ?

        I’d be more worried about being detained on the Russian side.

          Fair on both counts.

          I would not risk travelling to russia as a resident of its neighbor, both because russia can send you to jail/trench, and because your residency can be easily revoked/not extended. Permanently living somewhere as a non-citizen is a vulnerable position, and getting a citizenship is often outside your control.
