Taxis for immigrants will be limited in the Sverdlovsk region.
Starting in 2027, the region wants to introduce a complete ban on the employment of foreign workers in the taxi industry. This restriction is contained in the proposed resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation prepared by the Ministry of Labor. According to the document, the permitted share of foreigners in passenger taxis and car rental with a driver in the area should be 0% of the actual number of employees.
Similar measures are proposed for several other regions - Mordovia, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Orenburg and Ulyanovsk, as well as the Jewish Autonomous Region. In general, the project regulates the share of foreign workers in other areas: in construction - no more than 65%, in passenger transportation - 20%, and in the production of weapons and transportation of dangerous goods - a zero quota. The document has already been approved by the Russian Tripartite Commission and, after being signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Meshustin, could enter into force in 2027.
