She explained that users need to register their address through the application within three days, otherwise they may end up on a blacklist and face deportation. Moreover, if a migrant works, for example, as a truck driver and is absent for five days, upon returning, they may encounter similar problems. "Although the EAEU provides for the free movement of labor, these norms are currently not functioning. We need to conclude agreements with Russia similar to those we have with other countries for the employment of migrants," the deputy emphasized.
Deputy Foreign Minister Almaz Imangaziev, for his part, expressed the opinion that the "Amina" application has simplified the process of accounting for migrants. "A pilot project for 'Amina' is being implemented in the Moscow region. Previously, migrants had to personally visit the passport office for registration, but now this can be done through the application, which significantly reduces bureaucratic barriers," he noted.
At a meeting with the Russian side in December 2025, plans were announced to ease some requirements, while others may be tightened.
Additionally, in response to questions from deputies, Imangaziev confirmed that work is underway to address the problems faced by migrants.
The pilot project started in the Moscow region on September 1, 2025. The installation of the "Amina" mobile application has become mandatory for citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova, and Ukraine arriving in Moscow and the Moscow region for work.
