No More Work Permits For Foreigners for Now.
(From The Moscow Times)
The Moscow branch of the Federal Migration Service abruptly stopped accepting new applications for foreign work permits last week, creating a new headache for companies planning to hire foreign employees.
Although the migration service declined to discuss the suspension Friday, it was confirmed by lawyers, visa agencies and foreign business lobbies familiar with the situation.
"As a consequence of the suspension, it will be impossible to obtain permissions to hire foreign nationals and individual work permits in Moscow in the near future," Baker & McKenzie said in an e-mailed statement.
Without giving any explanation, the migration service announced May 26 that it had temporarily stopped accepting new applications for work permits, the law firm said.
The migration service said applications submitted before May 26 "will be processed in a due manner."
There was no information about when the migration service might start accepting applications again, Baker & McKenzie said.
