Russia’s State Duma passes tighter rules affecting foreign migrant workers and their dependent children, according to reporting. The changes require foreign workers to provide proof that their income is sufficient to support themselves and any family members who depend on them. The new requirements focus on demonstrating financial capacity as part of the legal basis for a migrant worker’s situation in Russia, including cases involving dependents. While details of specific procedures and documentation are not provided in the supplied excerpts, the core element highlighted across coverage is the shift toward stricter verification of income levels to determine whether a worker can financially support those they bring or for whom they are responsible. The policy is presented as part of broader regulatory tightening by lawmakers, with the stated aim of ensuring that dependents—such as children—are covered by the migrant worker’s demonstrated means. The measures apply to foreign workers rather than Russian citizens and are tied to the documentation required under the revised framework.
