In the past year, more than 2 million protocols were drawn up against foreign citizens, and in the first half of this year, about 1.7 million, she noted.
“During verification activities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia identified more than 6,000 people who did not undergo mandatory fingerprint registration, photography, and medical examination within the established timeframe, and measures were taken to remove them from the Russian Federation,” the representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia stated.
In 2023, over 2 million work patents were issued based on applications from citizens of Azerbaijan, Moldova, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, 120,000 work permits were granted to citizens arriving on a visa, and 1.3 million citizens of Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan who came for work were registered at their place of stay.
