Russia Will Ban Illegal Migrants Form Getting Married And Creating Bank Account.

The Russian State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs approved for the first reading a bill on strengthening federal state control in the field of migration, which prohibits illegal migrants from obtaining a driver's license and getting married.

According to the bill, illegal foreigners on the territory of the Russian Federation will be subject to a deportation regime, losing the right to change their place of residence, drive a car, get married, open bank accounts, buy real estate, register a business and open legal entities. They will be able to spend no more than 30 thousand rubles a month from their accounts or on tickets to other countries, and they will be prohibited from transferring these funds to other banks.

The draft law states that the new deportation regime will be established in relation to foreign citizens who do not have the right to legally stay in the Russian Federation. This may be due to the expiration of temporary stay in Russia or migration documents, cancellation of a temporary residence permit, residence permit, or the commission of an illegal act.

The regime will terminate in cases where a foreign citizen leaves the Russian Federation, regulates his legal status, cancels the decision that was the basis for the application of this regime, or the death of the foreigner.

In particular, they plan to prohibit foreigners from registering a car and any property, opening a bank account and getting married. “If you are an illegal migrant, you should not have the right to use these services,” Kazakova said.

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a draft law banning the provision of certain services to migrants who are in the country under illegal conditions. TASS reports about this with reference to the head of the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for migration issues, Valentina Kazakova.

 

Thus, in mid-October, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, proposed depriving migrants who have received a Russian passport of citizenship if they do not want to take part in the war against Ukraine. Soon after this, the Moscow Investigative Committee opened 22 criminal cases against natives of Central Asia, who had previously received Russian citizenship, for evading military service.
