Russia prepares a register of foreign workers The launch of a new system for employing foreign workers in Russia, previously planned for January 1, 2027, may be postponed to March 1. The reasons are the delay in preparing the bill and the unavailability of the necessary digital infrastructure, Kommersant reported. The first phase of the experiment is expected to begin after March 1, 2027, the second - after January 1, 2029. For immigrants, the main thing is that as long as we are talking about the project, and not about the rules that have already come into effect.
