Migrants required to confirm employment within two months

Also the service will check their employers

The procedure for notification of employment of foreigners and stateless persons has been developed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On Monday, August 14, the relevant document was posted on the Federal Portal of Draft Regulatory Legal Acts.

The document developed by the ministry concerns labor migrants who are going to work on patents. Recall that patents should be received by guest workers who come to work under the visa-free regime, that is, first of all, citizens of neighboring countries. According to the document, a maximum of two months after receiving a labor patent, the applicant for a job will have to notify the regional Migration Office that he has really got a job in the profession indicated in the patent. A copy of the contract with the employer must be attached to the notice.

Upon receipt of the notification, the employee of the authorities will be obliged to check the registration of the employer in the unified state register of legal entities or the unified state register of individual entrepreneurs.

This procedure will help to better control labor migration to Russia.
