Russia recently announced a bill aimed at limit<\/strong> and control<\/strong> the length of stay of foreign nationals on its territory. This text introduces new measures<\/strong> including a length of stay<\/strong> of 90 days per year and the requirement for a biometric registration<\/strong> at the entrance. At the same time, a digital register<\/strong> of foreign employers and employees will be introduced to ensure compliance with employment rules. These changes, which apply to all categories of visitor, are aimed at strengthening the controls<\/strong> on Russian territory while facilitating administrative procedures.<\/p>\n\n Russia recently decided to introduce a bill aimed at tightening control over the length of time foreign nationals can stay in the country. The bill, announced by the TASS press agency, imposes a limit of 90 days per year on visitors, while adding biometric registration requirements on entry. In addition, a digital register of authorised foreign employers and workers will be set up to provide a legal framework for their presence in Russia.<\/p>\n\n One of the key measures in this bill is the introduction of a living room ceiling<\/strong> of 90 days per calendar year for foreign nationals. Previously, the rule was that a person could stay for 90 days over a six-month period. This change in policy applies equally to tourists<\/strong> and to people travelling to Russia for work or family reasons. This new framework aims to manage the foreign presence in the country more effectively while respecting immigration-related security measures.<\/p>\n\n Another significant innovation in this legislation is the requirement for foreign nationals to undergo a biometric registration<\/strong> on arrival in Russia. This process includes the collection of fingerprints and photographs, which will be taken under a simplified procedure by Russian Interior Ministry offices abroad. The aim of this measure is not only to tighten border controls, but also to make life easier for visitors as soon as they enter the country. Biometric identification<\/strong> will also optimise registration and tracking procedures for individuals present on Russian soil.<\/p>\n\n Another essential component of the bill is the establishment of a digital register<\/strong> designed to bring together information on foreign employers and workers who meet the legal conditions for working in Russia. This register aims to strengthen administrative compliance by obliging Russian companies to ensure that their foreign employees are legally entitled to work. Through this initiative companies<\/strong> will be able to better manage their relationship with foreign workers and limit recourse to illegal employment, while ensuring that they comply with the required standards.<\/p>\n\n Failure to comply with the new provisions of this bill could result in the application of a penalty system. \"controlled stay<\/strong> for the people concerned.
