Russian citizens may qualify for permanent residence in Belarus based on their Russian citizenship without first obtaining temporary residence authorization. For short stays, a separate residence permit is not required: a Russian citizen may stay for up to 90 days without registration, but longer-term residence requires an appropriate status.
According to the source, Russian citizens have a more direct route to permanent residence because temporary residence authorization is not required first. This may reduce the number of immigration steps compared with the general procedure, but it does not remove the need to obtain a status for long-term residence. A separate short-stay regime allows up to 90 days without registration. The information is most relevant to Russian citizens deciding between temporary presence and permanent relocation.
