Formally yes, but applications from Russian and Belarusian citizens are accepted only if they hold a second citizenship of another country, due to EU sanctions policy. A workaround is to obtain a second citizenship (for example, Paraguay) or apply through a family member with another passport.

No. The program has no minimum-days requirement. Renewal every 5 years only checks that the investment is maintained, not actual residence.
