In 2027, the government will allow the corporate import of almost 400,000 immigrants who do not know Russian - that's 100,000 more than before 18+. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the internet publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or concerns the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA". The Ministry of Labor has increased the quota for importing foreign personnel from visa countries by more than 100 thousand people in 2027 - to 387 thousand people. Although this is 30% more than last year's imports, the total number of such immigrants is still 0.5% of all workers in Russia. The government quota is created based on requests from regions, and then it is also agreed upon by a special intergovernmental committee. The request is only valid if the region has confirmed that the local population is not a candidate for those jobs. As a result, the main application consists of applications for work on construction sites with difficult climatic conditions or sites where a full work cycle can be provided without a language barrier. In fact, in a closed organizational form. The Ministry of Labor gave examples of construction projects requiring the labor of such immigrants: the construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome, Moscow Street. Petersburg highway, the bridge from Blagoveshchensk to the Chinese Hai beyond Amur, the Alabuga industrial zone in Tatarstan and others. For such work, labor is usually drawn from China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Turkmenistan, Turkey and Sri Lanka, the Labor Ministry explained. The Taliban delegation from Afghanistan also agreed on possible work for their immigrants. But she never agreed to the terms. 400 thousand is still an insufficient cover. You may remember how in 2025, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade at the time, Denis Manturov, announced that Russia "is ready to receive an unlimited number [of Indians], because only for the manufacturing industries you need at least 800 thousand people in addition to the existing [number]".
