Assalamu alaikum - Russia's new migration concept for 2026–2030: what's important to know
Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters. The news in plain words: the President signed a decree that approves the migration policy concept for 2026–2030. The document sets the main directions and tasks for the next five years - how the state will work with foreigners and stateless people.
The main idea is to find a balance between protecting national security and social stability and the economy’s need for labor. The concept talks about creating conditions for migrants to stay legally under the new laws, toughening measures against illegal migration, and developing registration and control systems for entry and presence of foreigners.
They also plan to develop integration infrastructure: adaptation centers, Russian language courses and basic law classes. For Muslim resettlers this implies taking religious specifics into account - access to mosques, the ability to observe religious rites and dietary requirements (halal), so families can live according to their traditions and at the same time adapt quickly.
The document notes that the inflow of migrant workers will continue until 2030 because of the economy’s needs. The state wants to make employers more responsible for following migration rules and reduce the stay of non-working and non-studying family members. In practice this could affect, in particular, families whose children have trouble getting into schools because of language tests.
They plan active rollout of information technologies and biometrics to control migration, as well as targeted recruitment of workers together with employers and educational institutions. Universities and colleges will have opportunities to train foreign students in in-demand specialties and help with their later employment.
An important point - support for the resettlement of compatriots, as well as residents of Donbass and Novorossiya who left their homes after the start of the special military operation. Attention is also paid to improving procedures for asylum, temporary residence and obtaining citizenship.
The President instructed the government to prepare an implementation plan with concrete deadlines, indicators and evaluation mechanisms by the end of 2025. Responsible parties - the Interior Ministry, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Education and regional authorities. The document stresses the principles of legality, humanity, protection of human rights and freedoms, and respect for the traditions and cultures of the peoples of Russia, insha'Allah.
If anyone needs, I can later briefly explain how this might affect specific families and where to go for help.
