Immigrant control is tightening: a full digital profile will be launched from December 1.
As of December 1, 2026, the digital profile of a foreign citizen will begin to operate in full force - all departments must be able to transfer data to it. The resource is managed by the Ministry of the Interior and has been operating in a test mode since July.
In one file - the entire history of a foreigner in the Russian Federation: documents, accounting, work, education, insurance, property, transportation, violations and entry bans. The data is updated in real time - any delay is immediately visible.
Biometrics (photos and fingerprints) are required: without it you cannot go through central checkpoints or buy a SIM card. The system will immediately detect attempts to "log in again" using new data after an entry ban.
Departments and employers check the situation in seconds: it is almost impossible to hide an illegal stay.
At the same time, some procedures are simplified: for example, if you have biometrics, a TIN certificate is issued within hours, and many services are available remotely through state services or the ruID application.
