New minimum salary requirement for HQS: what employers need to know
On 26 July 2026, the Russian President signed a law that nearly triples the minimum salary requirement for foreigners seeking highly qualified specialist (HQS) status, from RUB 750,000 per quarter to RUB 717,000 per month. The law also introduces a new condition for maintaining this status – annual indexation of HQS salaries. Although the business community called for the threshold to be lowered, the HQS salary requirement has not been revised downward. However, the enactment of the new requirement has been postponed from September 2026 to March 2027. In this publication, we address five of the most common questions arising from the changes.
