I'm really curious about learning of some countries that don't provide ID cards to residents. One of the first things my family had to do when moving to any new country was go and get some kind of identification issued.
- throwaway290 4y agoEvery country I had been to, which is a lot, just uses your passport for identification. Unless you are a resident.
- drakonka 4y agoI am unsure how your response relates to my comment because I specified residency. I'm aware countries don't often issue ID cards to tourists or other non-residents. I specified residency in my comment, because I (mistakenly, it seems) thought your mention of not paying Russian taxes or living in Russia meant you were a resident elsewhere. I'd be curious to learn more about what country issues almost-year-long visas without involving some sort of residency status. It seems generally reasonable that people who have not actually formally immigrated from Russia and obtained residency elsewhere are affected by sanctions on Russian citizens.
- throwaway290 4y agoOh yeah, this for sure depends on what you mean by "resident". Countries do issue IDs to residents on paper but alas they don't issue IDs to de-facto residents. If I legally reside in your country for a long time, do not use Russian financial system or pay taxes to Russian government, do not plan to return to Russia, haven't had a Russian customer in my freelancing career (not working in your country, that would be illegal, but working with customers in other countries) I know I'm a Russian tourist in your eyes and the eyes of immigration officers but no matter how you spin it legally in reality I've been a resident of your country.
