The Law on the Far Eastern Hectare, or the Federal Law of May 1, 2016, No. 119 FL,[1] is a law by Russian President Vladimir Putin to give 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of free land in the Russian Far East to Russian citizens and foreign nationals as long as they live there for five years.[2][3]

The plan allows only Russian citizens to own the land. Foreigners can join the program, but cannot own the land until 5 years after they have immigrated to Russia. Consolidated groups (of 20 lots minimum) will also be provided with basic infrastructure.[citation needed ] As of December 2017, more than 107,000 people have applied and 40,000 people have become owners of the land.[4]
