The Federation Council is discussing today how to put order in the immigration policy. Matvinko said visitors should embrace Russian life, culture and traditions, and not remain "an enclave that lives on its own." "This idea of multiculturalism, he didn't catch on, unfortunately," she said.
Words must be followed by concrete steps. As of December 1, the digital profile of a foreign citizen should be fully active, said First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Andrei Kikot. One resource will collect information about documents, employment, immigration registration, property and offenses. The system has been tested since July.
Another measure is additional taxation for visiting family members of migrant workers. According to the head of the Ministry of the Interior, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, the department initiated the adoption of the relevant law, and the measure is expected to be implemented from 2027. The goal is to limit the arrival of non-working relatives and reduce the burden on the social sector.
