The Presidential Executive Order approved the State Migration Policy Concept of the Russian Federation for 2026–2030.
The Concept sets out the goal, main principles, objectives, and key areas for implementing the state migration policy of the Russian Federation in 2026–2030. It is based on the analysis of current practices regulating the entry into and exit from the Russian Federation of foreign citizens and stateless persons, the terms of their stay and residence in Russia, migration registration procedures, granting of temporary asylum in Russia, and the acquisition of Russian citizenship, as well as on the modern understanding of national and global issues of international migration.
The legal basis of the Concept is formed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, generally recognised principles and norms of international law, international treaties of the Russian Federation, and Russian legislation.
Corresponding instructions have been given to the Government of the Russian Federation.
Regional authorities and local self-government bodies are advised to be guided by the provisions of the Concept in carrying out their activities in the sphere of migration.
