| Description |
Our analysis of the Russian legislation shows that there are no special rules on circular migration. At the moment migration legislation does not contain provisions which facilitate back-and-forth mobility of the migrants. Moreover, Russian rules are not flexible in terms of work and residence permits. Absence from Russia for more than 6 months means grounds to refuse or to revoke work or residence permits. At the moment Russian legislators are seeking ways to create the most favorable rules for migrants who want to come to Russia for temporary labor activity on a regular basis. The Concept of the State Migration Policy of the Russian Federation for the Period to 2025 shows the direction of Russian legislation in this sphere. Thus, it is possible to suppose that the concept of circular migration will be developed in the framework of the Russian legislation over the medium term.
