The Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIR) of the Russian Federation has been introducing a new migration regime since 5 years, which imposes restrictions on migrants who live in Terenia. edges.
The law requires migrants, who have committed any criminal offenses or do not carry documents, to register with the Russian authorities, regularly upload their geolocation photographs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and have permission to remove them. departments for the main types of activities.

Russian Policy for Migrants
