Law clarifies terms for providing housing to military personnel who are citizens of the Russian Federation but previously served under a contract as foreign nationals

November 23, 2024

The law establishes that military personnel serving under contract, who were foreign citizens during a certain period of their military service, are eligible for housing after they have completed 20 years of military service or are discharged upon reaching the maximum age limit for military service.

If such a service member simultaneously served in a foreign military force, the total length of their service is calculated, for the purpose of recognising them as eligible for housing, as two days of military service in a foreign military force counted as one day of military service after the end of that period, unless an international treaty of the Russian Federation provides otherwise.
