Leaving America and England, a group of Orthodox Christian families are looking forward to starting their new lives in Russia. The only thing they need are VISAs. The Russian Orthodox Church has agreed to work together with government authorities, offering humanitarian VISAs to these Christian immigrants.
On Friday, October 22, 2021, members of the Yaroslavl regional government had a meeting with Metropolitan Vadim, head of the Russian Orthodox diocese of Yaroslavl and Rostov. The Metropolitan has given his consent to offer humanitarian VISAs to the group of immigrants soon arriving from America and England.
Under Russian law, a religious organization can offer official invitations to foreigners, enabling them to receive one-year humanitarian VISAs, permitting them to live in Russia for a sufficient amount of time to complete the immigration process.
