Employers wishing to hire foreign specialists without registering them as highly qualified (with salaries under 250,000 ₽/month) have two options:
- Non-quota positions - Limited list of professions not requiring quotas (executives, engineers, cultural professionals, etc.).
Important: Since December 2023, even general director positions require quotas (Ministry of Labor Order No. 459n). - Obtaining a quota - Standard procedure for other professions.
Key requirement: Starting August 11, 2025, quota-based work permits no longer require Russian language/history/law certificates. However, for non-quota positions, foreign workers must provide certification of Russian language proficiency and knowledge of Russian history/law. Processing is impossible without this document.
How to Obtain a Foreign Worker Quota?
Quotas are allocated through:
- Annual campaign (January-October, applications for next year)
- Adjustment campaign (year-round applications, but processing takes 3-6 months)
Application process:
- Post vacancy on "Work in Russia" portal (requires verified Gosuslugi account). Order service
- Submit application on AIC "Migration Quotas" (migrakvota.gov.ru)
- Submit documents to authorized body (e.g., DTSZN in Moscow)
- Await commission decision (meets 3-4 times annually)
- Receive quota allocation order (published 1.5-2 months after meeting)
Tip: In Moscow, employers can personally attend adjustment commission meetings to improve approval chances.
What Improves Quota Approval Odds?
- Employing Russians (especially disabled persons/youth)
- Participation in government programs/social projects
- Clear reporting history
- Government contracts requiring foreign specialists
Important: Even small companies (<100 employees) must submit zero-workplace quota reports.
How to Properly Complete Applications?
- Specify market-appropriate salaries
- Require higher or vocational education - reduces competition with Russian candidates
- In "Russian staff training" section, indicate development plans (not "0")
Note: Foreign worker percentages are capped (annually set by Government).
