The draft of the Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation on the approval of the procedure for the provision of medical documents by foreign citizens (hereinafter - The Order) has been posted on the Federal portal of regulatory legal acts of Russia. The draft of the Order has been issued due to the amendments in Federal Law 115-FZ which will implement the need of passing repeated medical examination for foreign citezens and which shall come into force on December 29, 2021 (changes provided for by clause 19 of article 5 of the Federal Law 115-FZ of Russia). We have already wrote about the procedure for passing a medical examination and forms of medical documents in our news previously.
The procedure for filing the results of repeated medical examination of foreign citizens to the Ministry of Internal Affairs (hereinafter - MIA) will apply for both foreign citizens who have arrived in Russia for more than 90 days, without the purpose of carrying out labor activities, and for labor migrants.
The Order due to the text which has been already published should come into force on December 29, 2021. However, the final version of the draft has not been published yet, and the final text may differ from ccurrently published vrsion.
We invite you to get acquainted with important information for foreign citizens, in accordance with the published draft of The Order:
