IMPACT – MEDIUM
The Russian government has introduced a draft law to amend requirements for hiring Highly Qualified Specialists (HQS).
Key Points:
Additional Information: Those who receive an HQS work permits will be required to retrieve the permit within 30 days after entering Russia. If the HQS is staying in Russia during processing, they must retrieve the permit within 30 days of receiving an approval notice. Under the current proposal, the draft law would take effect Sept. 1.
BAL Analysis: The changes listed above are not final, and Russian authorities may make amendments to the draft law in the coming weeks. BAL will provide more information regarding changes in the requirements for hiring HQS once it becomes available.
