In the Murmansk region want to establish a minimum income for foreigners in 2027

The Murmansk region has prepared a draft law that sets a regional coefficient to the subsistence minimum for foreign citizens for 2027. This is stated in the document.

The coefficient should be kept equal to one. From January 1, 2027, amendments to the federal law on the legal status of foreign citizens come into force. Foreigners working in Russia will have to support themselves and their families at a level not lower than the subsistence minimum multiplied by the regional coefficient.

With a coefficient of 1 the minimum income of a foreigner working in the Arctic should be at least 27 462 rubles per person. The amount increases for each dependent. The same amount – 27,462 rubles – is planned to be set as a subsistence minimum per capita in the region for 2027.

Check the income will be the bodies of the interior Ministry according to the FTS. If it is below the minimum, the foreigner will reduce the period of stay in the country. This will be reported to him and the employer. The decision will take effect in 15 days, after which the foreigner will have three days to leave.

The draft law will be discussed until November 17.
