On July 8, the State Duma approved the first reading of a draft law that could exempt certain labor migrants arriving under a government quota from mandatory exams in Russian language, history, and legal basics.
Currently, these exams are required for everyone applying for a work permit. If the law is passed, some foreign specialists will be able to go through a simplified procedure — without language testing.
This is an important update for employers hiring staff through quotas from visa-required countries.
Lowering administrative barriers could speed up onboarding and ease the process for migrants arriving via official channels.

Today, a new group of 34 male sewing specialists from India arrived in the Moscow region.
All of them are experienced professionals who will be working in garment production.
They’ll soon begin work — but first come formalities, adaptation, and getting acquainted with their new schedule.
As always, the INTRUD team is overseeing the entire process to ensure everything goes smoothly and efficiently.
Welcome to Russia — and best of luck in your new role!

The Russian Ministry of Labor has proposed a new format for recruiting foreign workers — a targeted organized recruitment system, dubbed by the media as “Russia’s kafala.”
Key points of the proposal:
— migrants are invited by a specific employer
— no quotas required, even for visa countries
— the employer is fully responsible for documentation, taxes, supervision, and departure
INTRUD’s Managing Director Dmitry Lapshinov commented on the initiative in an article by RBC:
“Organized recruitment is typically used when local labor markets can’t meet demand. Russian citizens always come first.
To ensure system stability, it’s essential to involve professional recruitment agencies — this brings control, standards, and quality.”
Similar systems are already in place in the UAE, South Korea, and Israel. In Russia, the mechanism will be rolled out gradually — starting with pilot programs, and potentially becoming fully operational by 2027.
INTRUD already works with visa countries like India, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka using this model — and welcomes the move toward a more transparent and sustainable migration system.
