Moscow to raise cost of patents for migrants

New measures aim to regulate labor market and protect Russian workers

The Moscow authorities have announced plans to increase the cost of patents for migrant workers in the city. The move is part of a wider effort to regulate the labor market and protect Russian workers, the city government said in a statement.

Increase in the cost of patents

Starting January 1, 2023, the cost of a patent for migrant workers in Moscow will increase from 5,000 rubles ($80) to 7,000 rubles ($110) per month. The increase applies to all foreign citizens who are required to obtain a patent in order to work in Moscow, including citizens of Ukraine, Belarus, and other countries.

Regulation of the labor market and protection of Russian workers

The Moscow government said the increase in the cost of patents is necessary to regulate the labor market and protect Russian workers. The city has seen a significant increase in the number of migrant workers in recent years, and the authorities are concerned that this is putting pressure on Russian workers and driving down wages.

The government said the increase in the cost of patents will help to reduce the number of migrant workers in Moscow and make it more difficult for employers to hire foreign workers over Russian workers.

Impact on migrant workers

The increase in the cost of patents is likely to have a significant impact on migrant workers in Moscow. Many migrant workers rely on their income from working in Moscow to support themselves and their families back home. The increase in the cost of patents will make it more difficult for them to do so.
