Migrant workers will be required to pay tax for each family member.
The additional payment will apply to all relatives of immigrants who arrive in the territory of the Russian Federation, said the head of the Ministry of the Interior, Vladimir Kolokoltsev. The measure will take effect on January 1, 2027.
According to the minister, the acceptance of the law will financially limit the ability of migrant workers to bring their non-working relatives to Russia and will reduce the number of foreigners living in the country at the expense of one working family member.
In 2026, 290 thousand immigrants have already been blocked from entering the Russian Federation, Kolokoltsev added.
