Moscow, October 27 /Xinhua/ — In 2026, the quota for attracting foreign workers from countries with which Russia has a visa regime will be 278,900 people, TASS reported on Monday, citing the press service of the Russian Ministry of Labor and Social Protection.
The agency clarified that the quota was formed based on employer applications approved at the regional and federal levels. Some permits are intended to extend existing ones, so not all of them involve hiring new employees. Employers most often invite specialists from visa-required countries such as China, Turkey, India, and Serbia.
According to the Ministry of Labor, 92 percent of workers within the quota are qualified specialists employed in industrial enterprises and infrastructure projects, while the share of unskilled workers does not exceed 8 percent.
Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Dmitry Platygin noted that the main priority of state policy remains the employment of Russian citizens, and the quota mechanism makes the recruitment of foreign labor more transparent.
