The draft law plans to amend paragraph 16 of Article 13.3 of the Law on the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens dated July 25, 2002 No. 115-FZ.
Currently, this paragraph provides that a foreign citizen does not have the right to carry out labor activities outside the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in whose territory he was issued a patent. The employer of a foreign citizen does not have the right to involve a foreign citizen in work activities under a patent outside the region where the foreigner was issued a patent, which entails difficulties if it is necessary to send foreign employees on business trips. Also, in case of moving to another subject of Russia, a foreign citizen is forced to re-issue a patent to work in a new region.
There is no text of the draft law yet, and its development will be associated with a number of difficulties - in particular, it is not yet clear how the amount of the advance payment when obtaining a patent will be determined. Currently, this payment is established in each region separately, reflecting the regional characteristics of the labor market established by the subjects of Russia.
We are closely monitoring the consideration of the draft law, and will notify you of any significant events and changes.
