Migrant work patents in St Petersburg may reach 11,000 rubles in 2027
The St Petersburg Legislative Assembly approved at first reading a coefficient that would raise the monthly cost of work patents for foreign nationals from 8,000 to 11,000 rubles starting in 2027. The same price is planned for Leningrad Region.
On November 11, deputies of the St Petersburg Legislative Assembly approved at first reading a bill on the regional coefficient for work patents in 2027. If the bill is finally adopted, the monthly cost of a patent for foreign nationals will rise from the current 8,000 rubles to 11,000 rubles, an increase of about 37.5%.
The coefficient is proposed at 3.049457, based on a fixed advance personal income tax payment of 1,200 rubles. A higher coefficient was initially discussed, which would have brought the monthly cost of the patent for migrants to 11,500 rubles.
17 billion rubles for the city budget
The new coefficient is expected to bring at least 17 billion rubles into St Petersburg’s budget in 2027 through fixed advance payments. The same patent price is also planned for Leningrad Region.
A work patent is required for official employment in Russia by foreign nationals from countries with visa-free entry that are not members of the Eurasian Economic Union, including citizens of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. The bill must still pass second and third readings.
