On July 1, 2025, at St. Introducing such a ban, according to officials, will not ruin the city's economy and can become a model to adjust the labor market and migration.

Proposals on the limitations included in the draft Resolution of Governor St. Petersburg, published on the Smolny website to check against corruption. It should be completed on June 12, then the document can be sent for consideration by the city government. By the way, its content is not reduced to the appointed ban level, but it is aimed at streamlining and controlling activities in the field of taxi distribution and courier.
However, the most important decision, if it is made, it will be a ban for foreigners with patents for labor activities – that is, from countries that are not part of EAEU – to manage cars in St. So far, the proposal to set such a ban from July 1 to the end of 2025. However, until November 1, the City Labor Committee and Employment Committee must submit the proposals to the Governor on the establishment of a ban on the participation of foreign workers for some economic activities.
After the project's project, the predictions of personnel hunger and the upcoming price increase in the industries have been implemented, where it is thought to limit the work of foreigners. These fears are especially loudly about a taxi. Is this ball seriously dependent on drivers from countries like Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, who will mainly affect new work rules in St. Petersburg?
There will be no disaster on the taxi, Vice Chairman of the Police Department of the Russian Federation on security and interaction with PMC, Auto -expert and human rights activist Alexander Kholodov. He recalled that in transporting taxis, it was banned from working as people who did not have a Russian driving license. The vast majority of people who migrated from these countries did not have them, and it was impossible to receive them for those who speak in Russian and they did not know the Russian traffic rules were almost impossible. There are a number of citizens who have received Russian rights, but this is an exception, the dialogue of the RG notes.
At the same time, the attacks are carried out by law enforcement staff who regularly identify those who do not have a license on a taxi. As a rule, such bombs, there is no way to connect with generalists and taxis, they are looking for customers in clusters – at stations, end stations, markets, as well as almost evil places. For such violators, those who do not comply with the current requirements of the law, the addition of other ban will not change anything.
For express delivery, here, the lack of citizens of some CIS countries for legal work will not be shocking. Just because today, most foreign trafficists are in the “gray area” and they are not cold nor hot because of the tightening of the rules. According to KhoLodov, this plan is arranged as follows: A foreigner is legalized in Russia, with all the necessary documents for accommodation and work or even passports of a citizen of the Russian Federation, such as a self -employed or individual businessman, ending an agreement for a company provided. But the delivery is really done by its compatriots, many of them are illegal in the Russian Federation. They have no relationship with the company, no one withdraws them to work.
He received the packages, meeting the requirements. Does he have a identification number? There is a complaint. Does he have a request? He emphasized that delivery companies refused to officially register courier because they did not want to take responsibility for them. They are much easier to deal with contractors providing end results with their own methods.
Overall, experts consider the proposed limitations for taxi drivers and courier for Still Sillborn, but it is helpful to test a new legal structure that allows you to adjust the labor market clearly depending on the situation of personnel and migration. As mentioned, in the future other activities for people banned from foreigners can be added to open new jobs for Russian citizens and immigrants from countries more closely related to Russia. And those who have participated in the list of industries can be excluded from there. Kholodov suggested that in the first six months, those areas can be specially selected in which limitations in which the city's economy will not affect any way to try a new mechanism.
Foreign delivery and taxis will be able to replace students and local drivers
According to the head of the ST. Legal Council Committee According to the most modest estimates, foreigners account for about half of these jobs – without accurate statistics.
The control of this field is still extremely weak. At least one year ago, at least a part of the migrant was officially used in companies. Now mostly designed as working on their own with minimum tax load and lack of control. Nowadays no one knows who will be replaced – a person who can be a person who can be a person.
According to Tsivilev, the proposed measures proposed by SMOLNY are a step in the right direction and you should not be afraid of those who are short of personnel. In express delivery, students can quickly come to migrants, who are suitable for opening will become affordable and useful. The situation with drivers is more complicated, so the city is obliged to support the support measures of city taxi services. “There may be risks that we will not provide. But initially it is the state and should set the conditions and work rules in the city – and completely require them,” Deputy emphasized.
