In the second (main) and third (final) readings, the State Duma adopted amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which increase the amount of state fees for obtaining permits in the field of migration.
The bill No. 1222962-8 approved by the deputies proposes to increase state fees for obtaining permits in the field of migration in respect of foreign citizens and stateless persons, as well as persons providing their stay in the Russian Federation.
Thus, the state fee for obtaining Russian citizenship increases from 4,200 to 50,000 rubles. The state fee for issuing a residence permit to a foreign citizen or a stateless person increases from 6,000 to 30,000 rubles.
It was decided to increase the state fee for issuing a temporary residence permit to a foreign citizen or a stateless person from 1,920 to 15,000 rubles.
Since foreign citizens studying in educational institutions under secondary vocational and higher education programs belong to the priority migration group, the draft law proposes to establish for this category of persons a lower state fee for issuing a temporary residence permit in the amount of 5,000 rubles.
At the same time, the bill provides for exemption from payment of state duty for actions related to the acquisition of Russian citizenship by foreign citizens and stateless persons who were previously citizens of the USSR, as well as participants in the program for the voluntary resettlement of compatriots to the Russian Federation.
In addition, the state fee for issuing permits for the recruitment and use of foreign workers will be increased from 12,000 to 15,000 rubles per each foreign employee involved.
