The measures are part of the government's migration policy approved for 2024–2025. The policy introduces the legal notion of “citizen permanently residing outside of Russia” and defines its legal status. The policy does not say how exactly Russian citizens living abroad will be forced to register with consulates. The digital profiling of foreign citizens will include foreigners' passports and biometric data, the reports said. To read the original story by Current Time, click here.
