If a migrant plans to move to Russia with his family, he must teach his child Russian in advance so that he understands the culture of behavior and communication with peers. This was stated by the head of Rosobrnadzor Anzor Muzaev. Russian Russian Minister recalled that a bill has been submitted to the State Duma, according to which the children of foreigners who do not have Russian citizenship will be checked for knowledge of the Russian language before admission to schools and those who do not know Russian will be sent to special courses, and only after graduation, children will be accepted to school. "If any family decides to move and live here so that children can study in our schools, of course, they should work in advance to ensure that the child knows Russian," Muzaev concluded.

Paragraphs 4 and 4.2 of Article 13 of the Federal Law "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation" establish that a foreign citizen has the right to work only if he has a work permit or a patent. A foreign citizen temporarily staying in the Russian Federation is not entitled to carry out work activities outside the borders of the subject of the Russian Federation, in the territory of which he has been issued a work permit or patent. Part 1 of Article 18.10 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation provides for administrative liability for a foreign citizen or a stateless person to work in the Russian Federation without a work permit or patent, if such a permit or patent is required in accordance with federal law, or for a foreign citizen or a stateless person to work in the Russian Federation by profession (specialty, position, type of work activity), not specified in the work permit or patent, if a work permit or patent contains information about a profession (specialty, position, type of work activity), or a foreign citizen or a stateless person carries out work outside the borders of the subject of the Russian Federation, in the territory of which this foreign citizen has been granted a work permit, patent or temporary residence. In accordance with Part 2 of art. 18.10 of the said Code, a violation provided for in part 1 of the said Article committed in the federal city of Moscow or St. Petersburg or in the Moscow or Leningrad Region entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand to seven thousand rubles with administrative expulsion from the Russian Federation. The legal status of foreign citizens in the Russian Federation, the specifics of their employment and work activity on the territory of the Russian Federation and the obligations of employers arising in this regard are defined by the Federal Law of 07/25/2002. No. 115-FZ "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation".

Yes, you can leave Russia if you have a valid patent. However, it is important to consider several key points: 1. Patent validity period: Make sure that the patent remains valid at the time of departure and return.2. Migration rules: Comply with all migration requirements, including registration and notification of departure and return.3. Documents: Have a passport, a patent, personal income tax receipts, a migration card and registration.4. Employer: Notify the employer of the planned departure.

We answer that Russia does not prohibit its citizens from having passports of other countries. A foreign citizen receiving a Russian passport is not obliged to renounce his citizenship, according to the legislation of the Russian Federation. However, you will have to give up other citizenship if the state of your current citizenship does not allow you to have several nationalities.

For example, this applies to citizens of Kazakhstan

However, it should be remembered that the time spent abroad is limited. By law, you can stay outside the Russian Federation for no more than 180 days a year (in total for the whole year).
If you violate this rule, your RVP or residence permit will be canceled.Important! Unused days are not carried over to the next year. The time of absence is summed up.
Foreigners with a residence permit or a residence permit must strictly comply with the law.Here are the reasons why you can lose a RVP or a residence permit:

- Stay abroad for more than 180 days per year;
- Threat to public safety;
- Participation in terrorist activities;
- Providing false information or false documents;
- Criminal record for a serious crime;
- Two administrative offenses per year;
- Not submitting an annual residence notice for two consecutive years.

The State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill that significantly tightens the requirements for foreign citizens when buying SIM cards. It is aimed, among other things, at combating fraudsters.

Such checks will be carried out before enrolling in school. The draft law, which provides for checking the children of foreign citizens for knowledge of the Russian language before entering schools, was submitted to the State Duma on June 28. This information was disseminated by the RIA Novosti news agency with reference to a document available to the editorial office.

The Committee on State Construction and Legislation proposed to adopt the document in the first reading.
Now in Russia there are two overlapping institutions for removing "foreign violators" from the territory of the country.
In the first case, the internal affairs bodies draw up protocols on administrative offenses, for which the court orders compulsory expulsion. The purchase of tickets and escort to the border are carried out by bailiffs.
The police also deport foreign citizens. It is similar in its grounds to administrative expulsion, but is carried out out of court - by decisions of the internal affairs bodies. It is the responsibility of the police to purchase tickets for the deportees and escort them to the border here.
At the same time, in both cases, such persons are held in special institutions of the internal affairs bodies before being expelled and deported.

What is offered?

To create uniform rules and mechanisms for the expulsion of foreign citizens, and to concentrate the powers of expulsion from the internal affairs bodies.
As the deputies emphasize, this will reduce the time and financial costs associated with bringing "foreign violators" to the courts and promptly remove them from the territory of Russia.

The deputies of the State Duma propose to limit the sale of firearms to citizens of the Russian Federation who have dual or multiple citizenship.
The relevant bill has been submitted to the State Duma. Recall that Article 14 of Federal Law No. 150-FZ of December 13, 1996 "On Weapons" (hereinafter – the Law on Weapons) establishes requirements for foreign citizens to obtain licenses to purchase such weapons: in favor of such a citizen, there must be a petition from the diplomatic mission of a foreign state in the Russian Federation, of which the buyer is a citizen;
the purchased weapon must be exported from the Russian Federation no later than 10 days from the date of its receipt.

At the same time, these provisions do not apply to citizens of the Russian Federation with dual and multiple citizenship.
The proposed amendments are provided in addition to the existing prohibitions for foreign citizens to be in public service (paragraph 7, Part 1, Article 16 of Federal Law No. 79-FZ dated July 27, 2004 "On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation"), as well as to have access to state secrets (Article 349.6 of the Labor Code).
"Considering that political, social and, especially, national problems always worsen during armed conflicts, the development of this draft law, which introduces a ban on the purchase of weapons for citizens with dual or multiple citizenship, it is during the conduct of a special military operation (special military operation) that it is necessary to minimize the possible catastrophic consequences due to arming naturalized persons with legal weapons bipatrides,
" the explanatory note says.
Recently, it was proposed to prohibit the issuance of foreign passports to Russians who received a summons to the military enlistment office.

Since May 7, the stamp in the children's document began to be put according to the new rules

The birth certificate is now marked with a new type of Russian citizenship.
This order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came into force on May 7.
Earlier in Russia, the rules for children under 14 years of age to travel abroad also changed.
They may not be released abroad without a stamp of citizenship.


Up to 14 years old
A stamp on Russian citizenship is placed on the back of a birth certificate for children under 14 whose parents, one or both— are Russian citizens by birth or have become them. If the birth certificate was issued abroad, then a mark of Russian citizenship will be put on its notarized translation, the portal of public services reminded.

Now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has changed the form of this mark by its order. If the stamp is already in the certificate, you do not need to put it again. The size of the new mark is 6 by 10 centimeters, it indicates on what basis citizenship was acquired, the date and number of the decision, the name of the body in charge of cases of citizenship of the Russian Federation. It will be certified with the signature of an official and sealed with an official seal. Previously, the stamp was smaller in size and the columns in it were called differently, there was the name of the authorized body, the date and number of the decision on the assignment of citizenship.

The imprint is placed in the territorial divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on migration issues, as well as in the diplomatic missions of the Russian Federation or consular offices abroad on the day of the appeal. To do this, you need a written statement from a parent, guardian, trustee or adoptive parent. You can also make a mark in the office of the MFC, if employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs work there, according to the portal of public services.

The following documents will be required:


the parents' passports
, the child's birth certificate and its notarized translation, if the original is issued in a foreign language,
a document confirming the rights of the child's legal representative, if the application is submitted by a guardian, adoptive parent or trustee.

If a decision is made to terminate the child's Russian citizenship or to establish the fact of his absence, the previously marked mark is canceled. And on the back of the birth certificate, an appropriate stamp will be affixed with the signature of the official, sealed with an official seal.

When such a seal is needed

Now a mark of citizenship in the birth certificate may be needed for traveling abroad. Earlier, by his decree of November 22, 2023, the president defined an exhaustive list of documents certifying the presence of Russian citizenship, including a birth certificate with a stamp. Then the regulations for minors to travel abroad also changed. As explained in the FSB Border Service, children under the age of 14 now need to submit documents confirming Russian citizenship to cross the state border.


They will be allowed to cross the border if there is:


a foreign passport, a diplomatic or service passport,
a birth certificate confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation, with an official mark and seal,
a certificate of acquisition of citizenship of the Russian Federation by birth,
a document issued by an authorized body of a foreign state (with translation into Russian), with a mark confirming the citizenship of the Russian Federation.

Thus, for example, if a child does not have a passport and the parents' internal or foreign passport does not contain data about him with a signature and seal, he may not be allowed to Abkhazia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, South Ossetia and Kyrgyzstan without a mark of Russian citizenship in the birth certificate.

According to Article 322 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, there are a number of violations when crossing the state border of Russia, for which a foreign citizen faces punishment from a fine to forced labor or even imprisonment.

Situations considered as an attempt to illegally cross the border of the Russian Federation
Crossing the Russian border by a foreigner will be qualified as an attempt at illegal entry/exit in the following cases:

The absence of valid documents for the right of entry / exit. According to paragraph 1 of Article 322 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, crossing the border of the Russian Federation without valid documents or without proper permission is punishable by a fine (up to 200,000 rubles or in the amount of income for a period of up to 18 months), or forced labor for up to 2 years, or imprisonment for the same period;
The existence of grounds for a ban on entry.

Observe the order and rules of stay in the Russian Federation.

They relate to the migrant worker's lack of documents necessary for living and working in Russia. They are called permits. Depending on the status of a foreigner, these documents may vary, let's consider each category separately.

Permanent resident foreign citizens.
The reason for their removal is the expiration of the validity period of the residence permit (residence permit).

Temporarily residing foreigners.
The employer is obliged to release such employees from work after the expiration of the temporary residence permit (RVP).

Temporarily staying foreigners.
The following subgroups stand out among them:

visa employees – they should be suspended due to the expiration of the work permit. Also, such sanctions come if the organization has suspended or expired permission to hire foreign workers;
visa–free foreigners - the reason for temporary exemption from duties is the expiration of the patent;
highly qualified specialists (VKS) – in their case, this is the end of the validity period of the voluntary medical insurance policy.
The rules apply to citizens of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), as their employment is carried out in a simplified manner. The organization cannot suspend such foreigners from work on the basis of migration documents, they are subject to the same rules of labor legislation as for Russians.

Terms of suspension

If invalid documents are identified, the company is obliged to immediately suspend the specialist from work for up to 1 month. This time is given to a foreigner or a company in order to extend or re-register them. There is no salary for the employee for this period.

If, after the specified period, the migrant provides relevant documents, the employer allows him to work. In the absence of permits, the organization has the right to dismiss an employee, without forgetting to submit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs a notice of termination of the contract within 3 days from the date of its signing.

Men who have received a Russian passport must apply to the military commissariat (military registration desk of the administration of the settlement) at their place of residence in order to register for military service.

This must be done within two weeks from the date of obtaining citizenship.

An application and a package of documents must be submitted to the military enlistment office, after which the staff will issue a referral for a medical commission.

The medical commission is a mandatory stage, on the basis of which a person is assigned one of the four categories of validity. You can get a medical examination for free at the state polyclinic under the compulsory medical insurance policy. The only category that completely exempts from military duty is category “D" — “unfit".

After passing the medical commission and assigning the category of fitness (except “D”), a citizen has an obligation to comply with the rules of military registration. From this moment on, the person must:

Notify the military enlistment office or the military registration desk in a timely manner about the change of personal information (place of study or work, position, marital status);
Getting up and being removed from the register when changing your place of residence;
Report to the military enlistment office on summons.

A foreign citizen permanently residing in the Russian Federation (who has a residence permit of a foreign citizen in the Russian Federation) is obliged to submit a notification confirming his residence in the Russian Federation to the territorial body of the federal executive authority in the field of internal affairs at his place of residence within two months from the date of expiration of the next year from the date of receipt of the residence permit (if absence of a place of residence - at the place of stay), in accordance with paragraph 11 of Article 8 of Federal Law No. 115-FZ dated July 25, 2002 "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation"[1].

The form and rules for submitting the notification were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 21 dated January 17, 2007 "On Approval of the Rules for Submitting a notification by a foreign citizen or a Stateless Person confirming their residence in the Russian Federation".

The notification must be filled in in Russian legibly by hand or using technical means (typewriter, computer). When filling out the notification, it is not allowed to use abbreviations, abbreviations and corrections.

If a permanent resident of a foreign citizen submits a notification in the form of an electronic document, copies of these documents signed with an enhanced qualified electronic signature of this foreign citizen are attached to it.

If a foreign citizen changes his place of residence in the Russian Federation, the notification is submitted at his new place of residence (in the absence of a place of residence - at the place of stay).

After each 5th year of permanent residence of a foreign citizen, the notification is submitted directly to the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation only by personal appearance of a foreign citizen.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a bill reforming migration issues and control over stay in Russia. In particular, we are talking about the terms of temporary stay of people with "unresolved legal status", including those deprived of citizenship or in respect of whom the decision to grant citizenship has been terminated.

The document available to Vedomosti was approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Labor, the FSB and the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia.

Another set of amendments is being introduced into the bill, which concerns obtaining a residence permit, the status of a native speaker of the Russian language, etc.

A bill has recently been submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, which provides for stricter state control in the field of migration.

The main change concerns the period of temporary stay of foreign citizens in the territory of the Russian Federation. According to the new bill, this period will be reduced to 90 days during the year. Currently, foreign citizens who come to Russia for a purpose other than work can stay here for 90 days, then leave the country for 90 days and re-enter for 90 days. Thus, the total duration of a foreigner's stay in a year is 180 days. The new bill shortens this period.

No changes are envisaged for foreign citizens who plan to come to Russia to work.

It has become more difficult for migrants to obtain the right to work in Russia due to legislative changes.
Since May 1, commercial testing centers in Russia have stopped accepting exams from migrants on knowledge of the Russian language, the history of Russia and the basics of Russian legislation.

Its passage is mandatory for obtaining a patent, work permit, as well as a number of other documents.
Previously, it was possible to take such an exam from commercial partners of Russian universities, with whom they signed contracts. Now commercial structures are no longer allowed to conduct the exam. It should be accepted by university professors.
Contracts with commercial partners were terminated at the request of the Ministry of Education and Science.

Those who take the patent exam are the most lucky, They can take the exam at the migration center, which did not stop taking exams.
Now universities are rebuilding the exam admission system, excluding from it commercial partners with whom they previously collaborated.

The authors of the document note that such an innovation will ensure a reduction in the time and financial costs associated with bringing foreign citizens to the courts, and will allow for the prompt removal from the territory of the Russian Federation of those who violated Russian law

Deputies have submitted a bill for consideration, according to which the police and border authorities will have the authority to make decisions on the administrative expulsion of foreign citizens from Russia.
According to current norms, expulsion takes place on the basis of a court decision, which is preceded by a hearing on an administrative offense.
If adopted, the law will enter into force 90 days after its official publication.
