MOSCOW,
December 31. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law, banning
blatant breakers of migration rules to enter Russia for ten years. The text of
the document was posted on the official Internet portal of legal information.
The
law holds that “foreign citizens and stateless persons who did not leave the
country during their previous stay in Russia and were staying continuously in
Russia for more than 280 days after the expiration of the deadline set for stay
in the law” are banned from travelling to Russia for this period of time.
The
effective legislation plans a 3-year ban from arriving to Russia to those
foreigners who had earlier exceeded 90 days of stay in Russia permitted once in
six months and who did not leave the country within a month upon the expiration
date of this deadline.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said
earlier that migration legislation should be tightened in this issue. The head
of state noted in an annual state-of-the-nation address to the Federal Assembly
in 2013 that the entry in Russia should be banned depending on the severity of
an offence from three to ten years for those foreign citizens who breach the
rules of stay in Russia.
