Government program. Relocation to the Far East: plans, conditions, financing, where to apply

Today we have to ask what the “Resettlement to Far East"The point is that Russia is a huge country. And so that in some regions there is no overcrowding of people, it is necessary to organize migration. And voluntary. After all, no one has the right to limit people in choosing a place of residence. There are special Federal resettlement programs. They help people move to certain territories, for example, to the Far East. But what do you need to know about this opportunity? Where to go if you want to become a participant in the proposal being studied?

Why did they come up with it?

The resettlement program to the Far East is an opportunity that is given to almost every citizen of the Russian Federation. The thing is that migration to this region is not so easy to organize. Many people refuse to live in the Far East, striving for the capital.

To make the part of Russia being studied competitive, the government of the country decided to organize a resettlement program. With its help, it is planned to make the region more popular and developed by 2025.

Goals and objectives

What specific goals and objectives does the “Resettlement to the Far East” program pursue? There is a generally accepted list of prospects that must be realized. It has already been said that the development of the Far East and the attraction of citizens to this area is a primary task. But what other goals does the government set for itself?

Among the most common tasks are the following components:

acceleration of regional economic growth;
improving business in the Far East;
modernization of transport provision for the population in the Far East;
an increase in the total number of people who live in the region on a permanent basis;
integration of the studied area into the main life of the country.

We can say that during the implementation of the resettlement program under study, it is planned to “revive” the region, to make it a habitual place of residence for the population.

Who is eligible

Nevertheless, one must take into account the fact that not everyone can take advantage of the offer from the state. Who has the right to do this? Who can move to the Far East?

On this moment the main participants are citizens Russian Federation. It is also possible to provide resettlement assistance to all those born in the USSR. These are the most common segments of the population who prefer to use state aid regarding resettlement to the Far East.

But the list of possible participants does not end there. The point is that people from other countries also have the right to government support. Typically, these categories include the population living in the nearest territories. For example, in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Belarus and other “popular” regions, from which many migrate to the Russian Federation. The Federal Program for Resettlement in the Far East helps such citizens well. It helps support arriving people in the specified region. How much this is not enough for migrants to settle in Russia!

Where to contact

If people have made the final decision to move, they will have to think about some other issues. For example, where to go? The resettlement program to the Far East requires citizens special order requests for help. You need to know about this. But not everyone understands which authorities to contact with the relevant application and list of documents.

There are several options here. Much depends on what category of citizens we are talking about. Therefore, you should pay attention to this. People not from Russia, but wishing to take advantage of the opportunity under study, should come to the Russian Embassy. It is here that they apply to participate in the state resettlement program in the Far East.

But citizens of the Russian Federation are given some freedom of choice in this area. They can decide for themselves which of several authorities to ask for help. The "Resettlement to the Far East" program can be implemented through an application submitted to the following organizations:

Federal Migration Service (recently abolished in the Russian Federation);
Migration Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
MFC (in some regions, information needs to be clarified in each city);
portal "Government Services".

Accordingly, citizens can go wherever they want. It is already useless to look for departments of the Federal Migration Service in Russia. But they are still indicated among the places to which one should contact regarding the issue being studied.

Governmental support

So what exactly does the Federal Program to Support Resettlement in the Far East mean? It has already been said that this opportunity stimulates the population to move to the specified territory. And voluntarily. After all, no one has the right to force anyone to do this.

How is public support provided? There is a certain list of paid Money for this or that situation. Accordingly, it is impossible to say exactly how much each family will be allocated for resettlement.

At the moment, the program to support relocation to the Far East offers the following payments:

each able-bodied family member under 35 years of age is given 200,000 rubles;
disabled people (old people, disabled people, children, etc.) receive 120,000 as a lump sum payment;
single specialists are paid 400,000 rubles for relocation;
students who graduated from the university receive 800,000.

This is exactly the kind of funding provided for in 2016 under the resettlement program for the Far East. Based on this information, it is possible to accurately assess the situation and understand how much money a particular family will receive. But this question is individual.

Privileges

The resettlement program to the Far East for Russians is an opportunity to move to a specified region and take advantage of government support. Citizens are not only interested in funding. IDPs are entitled to some benefits.

Which ones exactly? There are actually a lot of them. Among the most common are the following points:

tax reduction to 13% instead of the required 30;
no need to pay a registration fee;
travel to the destination is fully paid for by the state, regardless of the chosen vehicle when moving;
for a family of 3 people they allocate a container for free transportation of things with a capacity of 5 tons, for large units of society 10 tons are given;
for the first 6 months, unemployment benefits are paid, which is equal to the cost of living in a particular region if people are not employed;
all displaced persons have the right to be allocated free plot for agricultural needs.

It should also be noted that if a non-Russian citizen moves under the resettlement program, he will be eligible for simplified citizenship. That is, becoming an official resident of Russia with the appropriate citizenship is much easier.

Where are they sent?

Some people think that the Federal Program to Support Resettlement in the Far East allows people to settle primarily in the center of the region. It's not like that at all. Citizens will be distributed at the discretion of the government. Not everyone can move to the center of the Far East.

Moreover, it is on the outskirts of the area that the emphasis is placed. Therefore, there is a high probability of hitting Transbaikalia, Irkutsk, and the Amur region. You shouldn't be surprised. It is unknown where exactly the citizens will be sent. Usually this issue is resolved in individually. But the wishes of the participants are also listened to.

Therefore, you should not hope that the resettlement program will allow you to stay in the central part of the Far East. By participating in this proposal, you should prepare for the fact that the family will be sent to the outskirts. However, if you take into account all the previously listed benefits, it can be noted that this is not such a big problem.

Briefly about the process

What else is important to know about the process being studied? The thing is that not everyone understands how to correctly apply for help from the state under the program. It's actually not as difficult as it seems. It's enough to just prepare in advance.

First, you will need to write a statement in the established form. It is submitted to one of the previously mentioned bodies. It is also recommended to apply to the employment committee. Then the Federal Program for Resettlement to the Far East will help you find a job right away. In about a month, the family will receive a response to the request. If it is positive, you can pack your things and go to a new place of work. Quite often, people spend their money first and then contact the city administration with checks to reimburse them.

Nothing more is needed. Citizens living outside the Russian Federation apply in a similar way. Only they need to deliver the application for resettlement with a certain list of documents to the embassy or other representative office of the country.

Package of documents

What documents are required to be provided? As a rule, it all depends on the situation. Sometimes it happens that a citizen moves with his family. Then the list will be big. But it happens that a person leaves his social unit. In this situation, the package of papers will be different.

What do you need to bring with you? The previously mentioned authorities will need to provide:

statement;
civil passport (needed for every migrant over 14 years old);
birth certificates of all minor children;
educational documents (everything that is available, including various certificates);
marriage/divorce certificate;
any certificates confirming relationship with other family members;
certificates of no criminal record;
copy work book(preferably).

Citizens of other countries, for example, Ukraine, are required to confirm their educational diploma. This is done only in Moscow, which may cause some inconvenience.

Conclusion

Now it is clear what the “Resettlement to the Far East” program is. In fact, everything is not as simple as it seems. After all, migrants sometimes have certain problems. The government is trying to solve them, but it is not working out that quickly.

The first difficulty is housing. Accelerated housing acquisition programs are offered under the relocation program. But, for example, they are in no hurry to issue mortgages to migrants.

The second problem is collecting documents. For example, Difficulties usually arise in foreign citizens.

Another nuance is employment. As a rule, either people without education or with secondary specialized education migrate. It is very difficult to provide such personnel with work in the Far East.

Just a few years ago, the Russian government adopted a program that, assuming that the Far East needs new specialists, solves this problem by relocating citizens to this region. By offering university graduates impressive benefits for settling in new places, the government, as always, forgot about the main problem of all young people - the lack of their own housing. That's why this proposal federal bodies there was no response, and all movements to strategically important areas are carried out in a slow and insufficiently qualified manner.

It is worth noting that young people who were born in these parts and are more accustomed to the harsh and unique climate of the region are not entitled to any benefits. The strange and not entirely well-thought-out decision did not lead to a stir, and families are in no hurry to take advantage of the benefits of moving across Russia. Much depends on the popularization of this idea, because those who are accustomed to Moscow salary rates and living in much more comfortable conditions are not in a hurry to the East of the Russian Federation. You need to fully familiarize yourself with what the government actually proposed for displaced people, so as not to end up in unfamiliar places without the support of loved ones, under harsh climatic conditions.

The proposal is essentially

The offer applies not only to young professionals, but also to those who already have work experience, families and personal property. Fixed monetary equivalent, which is paid when moving to a new place of residence with subsequent employment at the necessary important facilities. This is what this compensation looks like:

if the entire family moves, then the able-bodied head of the family, under the age of 35, receives 200 thousand rubles, everyone else receives 120 thousand;
young people after graduating from universities are offered to pay 800,000 for settlement;
moving professionals who do not have a family and exceed age limit, 400 thousand rubles each.

The state program was adopted for implementation from 2014 to 2016, with continuation, if necessary, until 2025. Huge amounts were taken into account in the budgets to support the resolution of the Ministry of Labor. Special benefits are also offered for those who decide to move to the east of the country:

this is expressed in a reduction in the interest rate of taxation from 30 percent to 13;
registration state duty at the places of arrival of migrants has been cancelled;
travel is paid government agencies, without making any distinction depending on the transport chosen for the move;
if a family consists of three people, then a container with a capacity of 5 tons is provided free of charge for transporting bulky luggage; if there are more family members, then 10 tons;
At the places of arrival, in case of failure to find a job, an allowance is initially due, which is paid for six months. It is half living wage citizens;
all migrants with their families have the right to have their children enrolled in schools and kindergartens, and also registered with medical institutions;
IDPs have the right to receive land plots on which houses can be built. The only exception will be land in large cities, which are the administrative centers of the Far East region;
simplified schemes for adoption have been adopted Russian citizenship for people from neighboring friendly republics.

These are the conditions for replenishing regions with deficits work force. The offers are quite tempting, especially for those who want to settle in new places and begin to use their knowledge and skills differently.

Leading cities

Mostly, migrants choose the Khabarovsk Territory for further residence, but the Volga region and Ural district Since the beginning of the resettlement, about 20% of the total number of those who moved have been accepted. It can also be noted that residents of Ukraine also decided to move to the east, making up almost ten percent of the category of general migrants. People who decide to move practically start everything from scratch, which cannot but cause some admiration.

Although the government is trying to take into account the reasons for moving, so as not to create crowds of people with antisocial behavior. As noted by the chairman of the employment commission, absolutely everyone who has expressed a desire to move receives detailed answers from the committees, which indicate the following positions that are significant for citizens:

wages corresponding to the profession in the region;
how much does housing cost?
approximate calculation of the required consumer basket for each family member;
open vacancies in the region.

It was in Khabarovsk that a functioning temporary accommodation center was created, where you can live for the first 6 months after moving. This assistance in arrangement is organized at the expense of the city budget within the framework of the adopted program.

What you need to know

In order to take part in this system, Russian citizens will need:

submit a document confirming your identity and citizenship, that is, a passport;
document confirming the availability and degree of education;
It is advisable to have a work report with deadlines professional activity, experience;
If you have and are moving with your family, you need documents certifying your marital status.

After the entire package of documents has been collected and presented in proper form to the employment committee, the commission begins its review (period of up to one month). The answer is the provided plan, which indicates several places, villages and cities, for relocation and supposedly available vacancies for employment. If all positions are satisfactory to the applicant, then he can pack his things and transport his luggage and himself and his family. It is, of course, necessary to keep all the receipts that are presented upon arrival for payment at the administration of the new places of residence.

In order to participate in the proposed movement, foreigners, that is, not citizens of the Russian Federation, do not need to come to Russian cities. They can address these questions to the consulates of the Russian Federation located on the territory of their countries. For residents of Kyrgyzstan, there is the opportunity to contact the FMS at their location actual residence. Everyone will absolutely receive information and a list necessary documents, which will be needed if the answer to the request is positive.

Difficulties accompanying relocation

The resettlement program is a rather labor-intensive process designed to populate the Far East. In addition to the obvious difficulties and obstacles that arise for any sane citizen when moving, it was not possible to avoid a general type of problem. For example, newly minted citizens are in no hurry to take out a mortgage for housing. Banks argue this by saying that in a harsh climate, few will stay for long-term living; they simply do not have the strength to do so.

Due to the complexity of developing the territory and its difficult climatic conditions, special government programs, allowing to stimulate the population of the country and everyone who has long dreamed of changing their place of residence to move.

Priority zones

Back in 2012, the president signed a program for the settlement of the so-called priority zones of the country, which usually includes the lands of the Far East. In accordance with the government’s decision, a family that decides to move away from their home is supposed to be allocated lifting funds in the amount of more than 200 thousand rubles per head and 120 thousand for each member of the displaced family, which usually includes parents and siblings , sisters and even grandparents.

A special government program for the development of the Far Eastern region is valid until 2025. In accordance with this program, all voluntary migrants receive special benefits, which are a special measure of support. For example, income tax for new residents of the Far East is reduced from 30 to the usual 13 percent, and the state duty for registration in the territory is canceled altogether.

Social support measures

Travel to a new place of residence, including luggage, is compensated by government agencies, regardless of what type of transport was chosen. It should be noted that an ordinary family of three people receives a five-ton container free of charge, and a family of 4 or more receives a ten-ton container free of charge.

Citizens are allocated a certain amount for the initial improvement of living conditions, the so-called northern lifts. If it is impossible to find a decent job for the first six months of life in a new place, a benefit is paid that is half the subsistence minimum established in the region. Participants in the resettlement program are entitled to full use of the services of hospitals, kindergartens, and employment services.

A starting point

The starting point for moving to the Far East is to contact regional body regulating relations in the sphere of labor and employment of the population (the address can be found in the district administration). The Labor Committee will need to fill out a form and provide copies of documents confirming:
- citizenship (Russian passport),
- education (certificates and diplomas),
- professional skill (work book),
- family relationships(marriage certificate, children's birth certificates).

Within a month, the applicant’s application form will be reviewed and, if a positive decision is made, the migrants will be offered a choice of 3-5 places of residence (both cities and rural settlements), as well as likely places of employment. Once an agreement is reached, the resettlers will only have to pack their things and, having collected all checks and receipts for the sent luggage and issued documents, including travel cards, arrive at their new place of residence.

Not only Russians, but also compatriots

Both Russian residents themselves and foreign citizens who have submitted an application and received a certificate of participation in the program for the resettlement of compatriots living outside Russia may well become participants in such programs. As a rule, these are citizens of the former Union who ended up as foreigners in Russia after its collapse.

Compatriots do not need to go to Russia to obtain a certificate of participation in the Program; they just need to contact the representative office of the Federal Migration Service of Russia in their country or the consular department. There, future resettlers will be asked to fill out a form, and will also be given a package of documents, with which, if a positive decision is made from the outside, migration service you will need to arrive in Russia.

In the future, the government of the Far East plans to develop measures related to subsidizing families under programs for acquiring their own living space. There are also plans to provide assistance in finding permanent job, comprehensive development of infrastructure and economic complex, which may make the Far East a desirable place of residence for many citizens.

Amendments to the current law “On Employment in the Russian Federation”. The purpose of redrawing the legislation is to soften the conditions for moving to the territory of the Far Eastern federal district labor resources, including highly qualified ones, and slow down the outflow of the population.

The main lure for potential resettlers is to increase the size of the “lifting”, that is, cash subsidies to move from other Russian regions. Now a migrant has the right to receive a subsidy in the amount of 225 thousand rubles.

The amount clearly did not impress the Russians, and the “population mobility program,” as officials call it, failed. This was recognized by the Deputy Minister for Development of the Far East.

“The existing Labor Mobility program, unfortunately, does not fully work, and the number of people who move to the Far East under this program does not satisfy us,” Kachaev said.

Almost a million or a million entirely?

From 2019, if the amendments are adopted, the subsidy for those wishing to move will increase to 1 million rubles. At the same time, Gazeta.Ru was unable to get a clear answer to the question: what does up to a million mean?

The government decree mentions the amount of 1 million rubles, but the officials’ explanations say: “up to 1 million rubles.”

“It is planned to allocate up to 1 million rubles for each employee moving under the labor mobility program from 2019, subject to the inclusion of additional funds for the implementation of the program in the consolidated budget,” the Ministry of Eastern Development reported.

What form of amendments will be adopted by State Duma deputies is also a question. It is unknown whether there will be enough funds in the budget for increased subsidies. The Ministry of Eastern Development found it difficult to answer this question, noting only that work is underway.

Previously from federal budget 300 million rubles were allocated for increasing mobility for 2017 and 150 million rubles. for the current year.

But the bottlenecks contained in the mobility program do not end there. For example, the migrant himself will not receive a resettlement subsidy in cash. You can't use your own bank account either. The subsidy will be transferred to the employer's account. And you will first need to conclude an employment contract with him. "Besides labor contract, it is necessary for the employer to be a participant in the labor mobility program by including the employer in the program authorized body in the region,” explained the Ministry of Eastern and Krasnoyarsk Territory.

That is, the migrant will be forced to get the go-ahead from the employer to spend the million due.

Not everyone may like such strict dependence on the employer.

Two years instead of three

But the amendments provide for a reduction in the period for working out the subsidy.

It is proposed to reduce the minimum duration of a fixed-term employment contract with a migrant worker from three to two years, the Ministry of Eastern Development explained.

If the migrant could not stand it and fled ahead of schedule, then he will be obliged to return the actually spent part of the subsidy to the budget.

Innovations are also contained in terms of the rights and obligations of an employer who has agreed to participate in the mobility program. The company will be able to attract workers not only from outside the Far Eastern Federal District, but also from neighboring regions that are part of the Far Eastern Federal District. But apparently, this amendment will give an advantage primarily to officials. will be able to report that there is a growing trend in the mobility program. And it doesn’t matter where the immigrant came from. From the densely populated Moscow region or simply he moved from Magadan to Kamchatka.

Previously, the head of the Khabarovsk Territory, Vyacheslav, proposed increasing the allowance for those wishing to move to the Far East. He also suggested thinking about compensation for family members of the displaced.

“I believe that it is necessary to simplify the task for workers and increase the amount of allowances to one million rubles, as well as pay adaptation funds for each family member of a specialist moving to the Far East,” suggested Shport. Only on the condition that the entire family of migrants is provided with financial assistance, will the mechanism for attracting personnel to the Far Eastern region actually work, the governor added,” speaking at the “Days of the Far East” in Moscow in December.

This proposal has not yet found support, but is also being “worked on.”

“Currently, support for the employee’s relocation is being worked out, which also includes covering the costs associated with the relocation and family integration,” the Ministry of Eastern Development reported.

At the Far Eastern Forum in September last year, the head of the Ministry of Labor said that the Khabarovsk Territory did not even select 60% of the funds previously allocated under the population mobility program. And I was very surprised that Governor Shport was asking the government and the president for new injections.

At the same site, the president criticized the work of the relevant ministries for their failure to create comfortable conditions for residents of the Far East. Officials have learned how to attract investments to the region, not to mention the fact that considerable amounts of money also come from the state budget. But it is not possible to achieve positive changes in the lives of Far Eastern residents, the president was indignant.

It is not surprising that in the last 25 years, “mostly people have just left the Far Eastern regions; almost two million of its inhabitants have left the macro-region,” the population continues to decline annually, although not at the same rate as before.

According to the Ministry of Eastern Development,

in 2013, 33,042 people left the Far East, in 2014 - 24,752, in 2015 - 24,164, in 2016 - 17,367 people, in 2017 (over 9 months) - 11,933 people.

Currently, only 6.2 million people live in the Far East. Of these, about 400 thousand are migrants. IN Lately, according to local media reports, immigrants from Central Asia, as well as from Vietnam and North Korea, and the flow of Chinese, on the contrary, has stabilized. They are not asking for a million for their move.

The president threatened members of the government to study the problem of the emptying Far East “in the most serious way” and “take action.” “And, frankly speaking, when I look at what is being done, sometimes I get the feeling that very little is being done,” Putin said.

Another program for attracting personnel to the Far East is stalled - the “free hectare”. The program was also softened and improved, but the result was not just modest, but very modest. A total of 34,736 land plots were issued.

Head Mikhail also expressed his bewilderment at the fact that the Far Eastern regions did not submit applications for co-financing of housing construction and improvement of indoor areas in 2017. If such co-financing took place, then the cost square meter in Vladivostok would not be equal to the cost of a “square” in Moscow, Men explained to Gazeta.Ru.

The Far East has one of the lowest rates of housing commissioning in the country.

Meanwhile, affordable housing and a landscaped yard in the presence of work are a strong motivator for filling the Far East with labor resources.
The main thing is to stop the trend of flight from the region to the “mainland” and subsequently ensure an influx of labor, the presidential assistant for economics previously explained to Gazeta.Ru. Whether it will be possible to turn the situation around with the help of “a million for moving” will not be clear before 2020.
