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.
