The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a draft law banning the provision of certain services to migrants who are in the country under illegal conditions. TASS reports about this with reference to the head of the main department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for migration issues, Valentina Kazakova.
In particular, they plan to prohibit foreigners from registering a car and any property, opening a bank account and getting married.
“If you are an illegal migrant, you should not have the right to use these services,” Kazakova said.
The proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is another step by the Russian authorities to tighten migration legislation. Thus, in mid-October, the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, proposed depriving migrants who have received a Russian passport of citizenship if they do not want to take part in the war against Ukraine. Soon after this, the Moscow Investigative Committee opened 22 criminal cases against natives of Central Asia, who had previously received Russian citizenship, for evading military service.
