Additionally, according to the amendments made, migrants will be required to provide for themselves and their dependents at a level corresponding to the subsistence minimum, taking into account regional specifics. However, this requirement will not apply to those who are obtaining a patent for the first time, as well as to those who work for individuals solely for personal needs, as stated in the document.
Furthermore, on February 6, the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation supported a bill concerning the tightening of medical examination rules for foreign citizens. According to the new regulations, foreigners arriving in Russia for more than 90 days for work, study, or other reasons must undergo medical testing for HIV and narcotic substances within the first month, and then undergo this procedure every year. Violations of these rules are subject to fines ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 rubles.
