The amendments propose to limit the registration period at the place of stay of foreign citizens working in Russia on the basis of a patent to one month during the calendar year from the date of issue of the patent, if the registration is carried out at the address of a hotel or other organization providing hotel services in accordance with the Federal Law of November 24, 1996 No. 132-Φ3 "On the Fundamentals of Tourist Activity in Russia".
According to the explanatory note to the draft law, this will reduce social tensions arising from the mass and prolonged residence of labor migrants in hostels, often located in apartment buildings. Also, according to legislators, this measure will free up the resources of hotels and hostels for their intended use - accommodating tourists coming to Russia.
According to the authors of the draft law, the accommodation of citizens who came to Russia for the purpose of making a profit from labor activity should be handled by their employers.
Foreign citizens who violate the proposed requirement will bear administrative responsibility for violating the rules of migration registration, established by Part 1 of Article 18.8 of the Code of Russia on Administrative Offenses, and persons accepting such citizens will bear administrative responsibility in accordance with Part 1 of Article 18.9.
We are closely monitoring the consideration of the draft law and will inform about all significant changes and events.
