Starting January 1, 2025, Moscow Region will introduce a ban on hiring foreign labor with patents in a number of economic activity areas, namely:- alcohol and tobacco trade;
- organization of street food in non-stationary trading facilities;
- social services;
- sports, culture and leisure;
- healthcare;
- education.
The introduction of the ban was discussed at a weekly meeting of Governor Andrei Vorobyov with the regional government and heads of urban districts, after which it was announced by the press service of the governor and the government of the Moscow Region and published on the official website of the regional government.
According to Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Moscow Region Natalia Maslenkina, the discussion of introducing such a ban was due to an increase in the number of complaints from the population related to foreign labor in these areas. It is assumed that these jobs will be filled by citizens of Russia and the EAEU countries.
