Exemption of some categories of foreign workers from the Russian language exam
A law was passed according to which foreign citizens working in Russia within the framework of the Russian government quota will be exempted from the need to pass exams on knowledge of the Russian language and history of Russia.

There will be an important nuance: the innovation will not affect professions that involve interaction with citizens (provision of services to the population: salespeople, medical workers, etc.), i.e. for these professions, the requirement to pass exams on knowledge of the Russian language remains.

In addition, the following categories of foreign workers are exempt from taking the exam:

⁃ Workers whose professions are included in the list approved by the Ministry of Labor

⁃ Seasonal workers in quota specialties Meanwhile, the law contains other interesting innovations.

Thus, government agencies issuing certificates of knowledge of the Russian language, history and legislation will have to sign them with an electronic signature and enter them into the federal register.

And also, what is important, this is an increase in the period for submitting these certificates of language proficiency to the Ministry of Internal Affairs from 30 to 90 days.
