From January 6, 2024, changes to Law 115-FZ “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in Russia” will come into force (more details in our news), according to which it will be necessary to submit a notification about the implementation of labor activities in Russia by foreign citizens who have received a work patent, within 2 months from the date of receipt of the patent.
The order establishes the form of such notification and the procedure for its submission.
Compared to the previous procedure, after the amendments to 115-FZ and the Order come into force, a notice of employment will need to be submitted regardless of with whom he has concluded an employment or civil law contract (at the moment when concluding a contract for the provision of services with an individual such notification is not required). In addition, the notice will need to be submitted even if the contract for the provision of services is concluded orally.
• Who must submit this notification?
The notification must now also be submitted by the foreign citizen himself (previously he had to provide only a copy of the employment or civil law contract).
Please note that the employer or customer of work (services) is also still obliged to notify the Ministry of Internal Affairs about this within 3 working days from the date of conclusion of the contract (clause 8, article 13 of the Federal Law of July 25, 2002 N 115-FZ "On Legal the situation of foreign citizens in Russia).

The notification can be submitted in person, by post with return receipt requested, or electronically through the State Services portal (Gosuslugi)
• What is the notice period?
The notification must be submitted before the expiration of 2 months from the date of issue of the patent.
