“Passport and Visa Service” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia officially started operating in Dushanbe

On May 28, 2024, in Dushanbe, the opening ceremony of the representative office of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Passport and Visa Service” of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia took place.

The event was attended by the Minister of Labor, Migration and Employment of the Population of Tajikistan Gulnora Hasanzoada, the heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan Ramazon Rahimzoda and Russia Vladimir Kolokoltsev, among others.

From this day, the representative office officially begins to operate, providing citizens of Tajikistan the opportunity to undergo, in particular, fingerprint registration and checks for entry bans to Russia. The main goal of establishing this representative office is to conduct a number of preparatory activities, including pre-departure checks on the territory of Tajikistan.

Now citizens of the country have the opportunity to undergo fingerprint registration and checks for entry bans to the territory of the Russian Federation. Additionally, further explanatory work will be carried out here regarding compliance with Russian legislation, the document processing procedure, and the provision of other services related to temporary labor activities in the Russian Federation.

The representative office will also provide legal services on issues of safe labor migration, as well as conduct analysis of migration risks and prevent illegal migration. It should be noted that the Tajik side has allocated and renovated office space in the building of the Migration Service of the Ministry of Labor of the country for the placement of the structures of this representative office.

The location of the agency in the building of the Migration Service ensures convenience for citizens. This contributes to the creation of favorable service conditions and allows for a reduction in the time spent by individuals interested in employment in the Russian Federation.

Also, within the framework of implementing the provisions of the previously signed Agreement between the governments of the two countries on the organized recruitment of citizens of Tajikistan for temporary labor activities in the territory of the Russian Federation, representatives of the relevant ministries and agencies of both countries are actively working on the introduction of medical examinations, passing exams, and obtaining initial and secondary vocational education in accordance with the programs of the Russian Federation.
