Unlike a standard visa, a Citizenship allows you to exit and re-enter the country multiple times without additional paperwork, provided you maintain your registration.
Legal Rights
Grants you the right to work in the specific region of your registration without a separate work permit.
Healthcare
Eligibility for Free Compulsory Medical Insurance (OMS) at state polyclinics and hospitals.
