How to get a quota for foreigners

Regardless of the activities in which an organization is engaged, its leaders have a choice: whom to hire. Very often, entrepreneurs hire foreign citizens, which can be explained by several factors. Firstly, a foreign worker may have a higher level of training. Secondly, most foreigners are simply cheap labor.

Instruction manual

To attract foreign employees to your organization, you must obtain the appropriate permission. This is indicated in the fourth paragraph of Article 13 of Federal Law No. 115 "On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation" dated July 25, 2002.

The only exception is workers who do not need a visa to find on Russian territory. Before you get permission to attract foreign labor, you need to get a quota if it is established by the Government of the Russian Federation in the sixth clause 13.1 of the article of the above law.

To get a quota and determine its size, write a statement stating your need as an employer to use the labor force of foreign citizens. Submit this document to the executive authorities. All powers vested in this body are defined in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 22, No. 783.

If you want to know in advance about how many foreign citizens you can attract, look at the relevant government decree, which sets the total number of quotas for issuing permits to foreign workers.

You can also see the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia, in which the total volume of quotas is divided into certain categories: professions, specialties and qualifications. Select the required item in the document, and you can find out the maximum possible number of attracted citizens of another country in this position. Keep in mind that one employer has the right to hire an unlimited number of people within a predetermined quota.

In the event that a foreign worker arrives in the Russian Federation on a visa-free basis, you do not need to apply for this quota. Submit to the body of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation and the employment department a notice of the conclusion of an employment contract with a foreign citizen who holds the relevant permit, and continue your entrepreneurial activity.
