Annotation. Introduction. The article presents the results of an analysis of systemic changes occurring in the regulation of migration processes in the Russian Federation. The study examined factors contributing to the decline in the number of foreign citizens in the country, including the tightening of immigration laws, the introduction of a deportation regime (a register of controlled persons), and the expansion of industry-specific restrictions on work activities based on a patent. Methods. The methodological basis of the study was formed by the general scientific dialectical method of cognition. The statistical method of processing quantitative data, the method of specific situations (using regional regulation as an example), the comparative legal method, which made it possible to compare previous and new legal regimes, as well as the methods of generalization and synthesis were applied. A formal-legal analysis of regulatory legal acts and a systemic-functional analysis of the interrelations between the elements of migration policy were carried out. Results. Based on statistical data and an analysis of the provisions of regulatory acts, the transformation of the legal status of migrant workers is shown. The article describes new requirements for employers (including the right to dismiss employees if regional quotas are exceeded and liability for the legality of foreign nationals' stay). Digital control tools being implemented by the state (digital migrant profiles and electronic registration through the «Gosuslugi» portal) are examined. Particular attention is paid to the new concept of migration policy for the Russian Federation, approved in 2026, and the principle of selectivity in admitting foreign labor.
