How citizens of Kyrgyzstan can find a job in the Russian Federation
Despite the fact that Kyrgyzstan joined the EAEU (Eurasian Economic Union) in the spring of 2015, its citizens in Russia continued to require work permits for quite a long time. since the relevant agreements have not been ratified. Finally, on August 12, 2015, all agreements came into force. The employment of citizens of Kyrgyzstan in the Russian Federation in 2019 is already carried out according to the new rules.
New rules
In accordance with the signed international treaties, citizens of the EAEU countries do not need to obtain permits for employment in any state of the union. There are no quotas for them that limit the number of foreign workers in certain regions. So do citizens of Kyrgyzstan need a work permit? No - since August last year, they do not need to obtain new patents or renew existing ones. Changes have taken place not only in labor legislation, but also in migration.
When applying for a job
Consider what documents are needed for citizens of Kyrgyzstan to work in the Russian Federation:
- Passport - if it does not contain entries in Russian, you need to make a notarized translation.
- To confirm qualifications - diplomas of education.
- Employment book - if a migrant is employed for the first time, the employer will keep it.
- Medical policy (unless otherwise provided by agreements between the employer and the insurance company).
You do not need to take exams in the Russian language and undergo a medical examination.
When registering
Previously, the law required citizens of Kyrgyzstan to register with the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (formerly the FMS) within 7 days after crossing the border of the Russian Federation, now registration can be postponed for 30 days, that is, if a migrant from this country is going to stay in Russia for less than a month, then register nowhere needed. 
Now citizens of Kyrgyzstan working in the Russian Federation and their household members can stay in our country for the entire period for which an employment contract is signed. As a rule, this is six months or even a year.
If the contract is terminated earlier, migrants have two weeks to find a new employer and conclude an employment contract. Thus, you will have to leave the country only if you cannot find a job within two weeks.
To extend the period of stay, you need to contact the local office of the migration service and provide the following papers:
- passport;
- migration card;
- certificate of registration with the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
- employment contract with the employer (and a copy thereof).
What is important for an employer to know
For those who understand how to apply for a job as a citizen of Kyrgyzstan, there is good news: you do not need to obtain any permits to hire foreign workers. The procedure for employment is the same as for the Russians.
How taxes are withheld
From the first day of work for the Kyrgyz, a tax rate of 13% applies, which does not depend on the tax status. It should be noted that this is true only for salaries, all other income (for example, received as a result of donating or renting an apartment) is taxed at a non-resident rate of 30%. Citizens of Kyrgyzstan are not allowed to return part of the funds in the form of tax deductions. Of course, only until they have . 
Social payments
Citizens of Kyrgyzstan, like other foreigners who came to work from the EAEU member countries, can now use social benefits for temporary disability and in connection with the appearance of children, regardless of the length of service, but they will also need to pay contributions to the Social Insurance Fund in the same amount, which is provided for the Russians.
Notifications to the Main Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Three days after the conclusion of an agreement with a labor migrant from the EAEU country are given to the employer in order to report this to the migration authority. The same rule applies to the dismissal of migrants. Notification about must be submitted only to the migration service, it is not necessary to report anything to the tax authorities.
