Regarding simplifying the procedure for employing foreign students in Russia

31.01.2020

The State Duma of the Russian Federation has adopted a bill simplifying the procedure for foreign students to work in Russia.

This draft law establishes the right of foreign students studying on a full-time basis in Russian universities with state accreditation to work in Russia without obtaining a work permit.  

In this case, the contract (labor or civil legal) concluded between the foreign student and the employer will be subject to termination if the foreign student completes or withdraws from studying in Russia.

For the current moment the law is under consideration by Russian Council of Federation.
