Russia: The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to recognize foreigners as “undesirable” without a time limit

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has published  a draft departmental order on the procedure for making decisions that the stay of a foreigner or a stateless person is undesirable in Russia. The Vedomosti newspaper drew attention to the document .

The authors of the initiative proposed to cancel the time limit for making a decision on the undesirability of a person’s stay in Russia. Now the term for consideration of materials should not exceed a month after their registration in the central office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The draft order also says that when making a decision, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will first check whether a foreigner has a family in Russia. The document does not specify whether this will prevent or, conversely, help the decision on undesirability.

  1. That’s completely irrelevant. The mafiosi consider many of their own people undesirables too, and no one cares what the mafiosi think.
