Immigrants will be banned from working in taxis in eight areas.
From 2027, foreign citizens will not be denied access to driving a taxi in eight regions at the same time: Tatarstan, Mordovia, Chubashia, Udmurtia, Sverdlovsk, Orenburg, Ulyanovsk and the Jewish Autonomous Regions. In the Kaluga region, immigrants will be prohibited from working not only as drivers, but also as bartenders. The project of the Ministry of Labor has already been approved by a tripartite committee, only the signature of Mikhail Meshustin remains.
The reason was accident statistics and the growing shadow market. In Mordovia alone, for two years, there were 24 road accidents involving foreigners, in which six people died. The reports show that the culprits often engaged in illegal transportation and avoided paying fines for years.
The situation is made worse by intermediary offices through which immigrants reach the line while bypassing the rules. A person gets behind the wheel without a proven driver's license, with someone else's account and without a Russian license. And even if a passenger calls the car through an official request, he may be driven by a driver who, in the event of an accident, is almost impossible to find and prosecute.
In the past, the Russian Federation demanded that immigrants be banned from driving buses after several fatal accidents.
