Starting in 2027, Russia will implement a law restricting the ability of labor migrants to bring their family members into the country, according to Russian Interior Minister Vladimir Kolокольtsev, who announced the measure during a government session in the Federation Council (upper house of parliament).

Under the new law, each non-working family member accompanying a migrant worker will be subject to additional taxation. This measure is intended to reduce the burden on the social sector.

Kolokoltsov noted that, since 2025, the number of non-working and non-studying family members of labor migrants in Russia has already decreased by 20%.
