The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Russia proposed to establish in 2022 a quota for attracting foreign workers who come to Russia to earn money, within 124 thousand people. This was reported in the press service of the department. Compared to the pre-pandemic year 2019 (144.5 thousand people), quotas were reduced by more than 14%, the Ministry of Labor noted.

“This need is determined on the basis of proposals from federal and regional authorities. The draft resolution has been published for public discussion, ”the ministry said in a statement (quoted by TASS).

The statement adds that in 2022 the need to attract foreign specialists was determined on the basis of proposals from federal and regional authorities and approved by an interdepartmental commission. It included representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Transport of Russia, the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, the Ministry of Construction of Russia and the Ministry of Eastern Development of Russia.

The Ministry of Labor explained that the attraction of foreign workers who need a visa to stay in Russia is carried out, among other things, according to quotas that are set annually. In accordance with the rules of the Ministry of Labor, established against the backdrop of the coronavirus pandemic, all foreign citizens enter Russia in accordance with a temporary algorithm. In particular, they get a job through applications from Russian employers in the event that it is not possible to recruit employees within the region, and companies are ready to ensure that the necessary sanitary and epidemiological requirements are met.

Earlier, the deputy head of the Main Directorate for Migration, Kirill Adzinov, said that a single document for migrants would contain a chip with the personal data of a foreigner, including his biometric indicators.
