A new law in Moscow aims to implement an experimental tracking system for foreign nationals, effective September 1, 2025. Announced by Vyacheslav Volodin, chairman of the State Duma, the initiative seeks to enhance migration control and combat crime among migrants. The law necessitates that migrants provide detailed personal information, including biometrics, and use a state-mandated app. Notably, the measures exclude foreign diplomats and minors. A trial period runs until 2029, and success may prompt broader application across other regions in Russia.
"If migrants change their actual location, they will be required to inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs within three working days. These measures will not affect diplomats and citizens of Belarus."
"The adopted mechanism will allow, using modern technologies, to strengthen control in the migration sphere, and will also help reduce the number of offenses and crimes in this area. If the experiment proves successful, it can be extended to other regions."
