Migration growth recorded in Tatarstan in 2022

Total number of labor migrants amounted to 11,8 million in Russia in 2022

Let us remind that after foreign citizens cross the Russian border, they are required to register at the place of stay and confirm the purpose of entry — thus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs bodies carry out primary migration registration. The aggregated migration statistics also take into account foreigners who have extended registration or have re-registered (when changing the region of residence).

In 2022, the total number of cases of migration registration of foreign workers, including extensions of registrations and re-registrations, amounted to 11,8 million (an increase of 23,9%).

The influx of migrants from Uzbekistan increased most significantly last year — by 377,7 thousand people (+35,1%). Almost the same increase occurred among workers from Tajikistan — 336,7 thousand (+51,8%). Kyrgyzstan rounds out the top 3 — 84,6 thousand people (+17,7%). They are followed by Kazakhstan — 62 thousand (+118,3%); Azerbaijan — 16,6 thousand (+21,1%); Vietnam — 8 thousand (an increase of more than 9 times); Moldova — 4,1 thousand (+87,7%); Turkey — 2 thousand (+12,9%); Turkmenistan — 1,6 thousand (growth of almost 100 times); China — 1,3 thousand (+12,2%).

In February, Russia developed a law that introduces a “controlled stay” regime for migrants. The algorithm of interdepartmental exchange of information on the revealed facts of fictitious migration registration has been introduced.
