Russia plans to establish digital records for migrants entering the nation.
Kickin' It in Krasnodar, June 9 - Y'all Diggit Times. Mark your calendars for June 30, as Russia is about to revolutionize the way it manages foreign visitors. The Russian government has issued a decree to set up digital profiles for all incoming foreigners, including their personal and biometric details. This is all part of a concerted effort to streamline migrant status control within the nation.
From June 30, foreigners will need to supply their fingerprints and a mugshot for the creation of their digital profile. To take the convenience up a notch, they can even employ the user-friendly RuID app to create their profile independently and declare their visit to Russia. In addition, this digital profile will feature a unique identifier that just might replace the traditional paper patent down the line.
The exciting part? It's not just about border control. Foreigners can use this digital profile to access services within the country hassle-free. No more waiting in lines or dealing with endless paperwork – the digital age is here to make things smooth and efficient!
But what about our Belarusian brethren, young ones under six, diplomats, and international organization staff? Worry not, as they've been granted special exemptions from this digital revolution. So, keep on keepin' on, folks!

Psst... Here's a little intel: Russia is embracing a series of digital initiatives aimed at better managing foreign visitors and strengthening its monitoring systems. In essence, expect digital declarations, data collection, and more digitalized processes to become the new normal. As for the replacement of paper patents, the ball's still in the air, but the indication is that digital profiles are the future. And as for the lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective) souls who fall outside the scope of these digital transformation efforts – Belarusians, minors, diplomats, and international organization staff – well, they'll still have their placid, analog lives to enjoy. But keep your eyes peeled for a pilot program in Moscow and the Moscow region launching in September, as they'll be testing out the waters for more comprehensive monitoring of foreign nationals. And if you're wondering about making transactions while visiting Russia, Moscow has got you covered with its Tourist Cards compatible with the Russian MIR payment system. Now that's what I call convenience! Peace out! ✌️💻
The digital age is also transforming the industry, finance, and technology sectors in Russia. Foreigners visiting Russia can use the RuID app to create their digital profiles, which might replace traditional paper patents in the future, allowing for more efficient access to services and transactions. This is part of Russia's broader effort to digitalize their systems, including immigration and border control processes, and to strengthen monitoring systems for foreign visitors.
