Russian media reports say a regime of controlled stay to be in effect for migrants in the Russian Federation.
Interfax cited the Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev as saying at the meeting in Chelyabinsk on February 16 that a draft federal law has been developed to introduce a regime of controlled stay for migrants.
According to him, “an algorithm for exchanging information on revealed facts of fictitious migration registration has been developed and introduced.”
"Measures have been taken to strengthen control over migration flows," the Russian Security Council Secretary noted.
Recall, Russia’s consulting company FinExpertiza notes that inflow of labor migrants into Russia increased last year by a third.
The number of labor migrants coming from Tajikistan reportedly increased by 336,700 people, or 51.8 percent.
Outgoing labor migration from Tajikistan has started on a large scale soon after the fall of the Soviet Union. An absolute majority of the Tajik labor migrants have lived and worked in the Russian Federation. As a social phenomenon this migration has a profound impact not only on the lives of the individual migrants or the families who are being supported by a family member working abroad, but also on the Tajik society as a whole and the country’s economy.
