in National Security / Tajikistan - by


Restrictions are already in effect in regions such as Novosibirsk, Samara, Tula, Magadan, Chelyabinsk, Kaluga, Tyumen, Amur regions, as well as in Crimea, the Amur region, and other regions of Russia.

The tightening of the working and living conditions for migrants in Russia comes after the terrorist attack at the "Crocus City Hall" on March 22. The suspects in the case of the attack on the concert hall visitors are citizens of Tajikistan.

On April 15, a ban on working in 35 sectors of economic activity was introduced in the Novosibirsk region. On the same day, in Crimea, foreigners were banned from working based on patents in 35 types of activities for six months.

For example, migrants will not be able to engage in educational activities, food production, fishing, and wholesale trade.

In March, labor migrants were prohibited from working in public transport and taxis in the Voronezh region.

Starting this year, the Tula region introduced restrictions in the taxi and catering sectors.
