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. The relevant agreements have not been ratified. Finally, on August 12, 2015, all agreements entered into force. The employment of citizens of Kyrgyzstan in the Russian Federation in 2017 is already carried out according to the 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:
- First of all, a passport. If it does not contain entries in Russian, you need to make a translation.
- To confirm qualifications - diplomas of education.
- You also need a workbook. If a migrant from Kyrgyzstan finds a job for the first time, the employer will start it.
- You need a 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 Federal Migration Service within a week after crossing the border of the Russian Federation, now registration can be postponed for 30 days. That is, if a Kyrgyz is going to stay in Russia for less than a month, then there is no need to register anywhere. 
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 the next 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 branch of the FMS and provide the following papers:
- passport;
- migration card;
- certificate of registration with the FMS;
- 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, regardless of 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 .
