SOME 130,000 ARMENIAN CITIZENS WORK IN RUSSIA LEGALLY -EMBASSY OFFICIAL
YEREVAN, February 14, /ARKA/. Svetlana Stepanova from the Russian
embassy in Armenia, said today that some 130,000 citizens of Armenia
have legal permits to work in the Russian Federation Speaking at a
news conference, Ms. Styepanova said Armenian citizens had been granted
37,200 labor permits and 92,500 labor patents in Russia last year.
The main difference between a work permit and a patent for the CIS
citizens is that the permit allows labor migrants to be employed by
companies , firms, enterprise and individual entrepreneurs, while a
patent allows a foreigner to work only for individuals like gardeners ,
personal drivers, cooks , helpers , etc..
Asked to comment on a set of recent changes made to the Russian law
on immigration she said Armenian citizens seeking jobs in Russia may
buy labor patents at $30 per month within ten days. The patents are
extended automatically.
Under the revised Russian law, citizens of some former Soviet
republics, including from Armenia, have the right to remain in the
territory of the Russian Federation without registration for only
90 days within every 180 days. This means that citizens of Armenia
cannot continually live in Russia for at least six months.
With regard to work permits, she said the law now demands also that
labor migrants provide a medical certificate that they are free from
'socially dangerous diseases' like AIDS. -0-
