Russian Embassy in Estonia temporarily stops accepting applications for citizenship renunciation
The Russian Embassy in Estonia has temporarily stopped accepting applications for citizenship renunciation, according to its official website. The online announcement doesn’t give a reason for the pause or a timeline for when applications will be accepted again.
After the start of Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine, applications for Estonian citizenship from Russian citizens increased by a factor of about two and a half, according to Estonian Public Broadcasting. Estonia does not allow dual citizenship.
