New proposals are being discussed to introduce a paid fee for migrant families to stay in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Representatives of the "New People" faction in parliament are proposing to establish a payment system for migrant families who do not work to remain in Russian territory. According to them, this will maintain a balance between the interests of the state and society.
According to current legislation, the spouse and children of a working-age migrant automatically have the right to stay in Russia. However, deputies emphasize that these families use infrastructure and social services but do not contribute financially to the economy.
For this reason, the paid stay system could bring additional revenue to the budget and encourage lawful employment. The faction representatives stated in an appeal to Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev that it is necessary to enshrine this proposal in law.
According to the project, the amount and procedure of payment for non-working migrant families will be determined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Experts emphasize that the new system will encourage migrants to find official jobs, pursue education, and actively participate in the economy.
This will not only strengthen the legal status of families but also serve to expand the legal labor market in the country. At the same time, the proposal has sparked social discussions.
Some say such a measure would be an excessive burden on migrants, while others consider it necessary to ensure fair use of state services. If the bill is adopted, new rules and responsibilities will be introduced for migrant families in Russia.
This could remain a significant change in the country's migration policy history.
