Putin Approves 2026–2030 State Migration Policy Concept

The cabinet must deliver an implementation plan by December 31, 2025.

Overview

  • By 2030 the framework targets a reduction in illegally staying foreign nationals and a decline in crime and administrative offenses among foreign citizens.
  • The policy prioritizes attracting foreigners who share Russia’s traditional values and facilitating the voluntary return of residents from Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson who left during the special military operation.
  • Integration measures emphasize acquisition of the Russian language, adherence to recognized social norms, and the development of legal culture among migrants.
  • The concept calls for stronger employer responsibility in migration matters and the digitalization of hiring, including electronic employment and civil-law contracts.
  • The government is tasked with overseeing execution and adjusting the concept as needed once detailed regulations are prepared.
