Russia’s St. Petersburg seeks to extend ban on migrant taxi workers

Authorities in St. Petersburg plan to extend until the end of 2027 a ban on hiring foreign workers holding work patents for taxi and delivery services.

The draft resolution proposes banning migrants from working in passenger taxis, chauffeur-driven car rental services and courier delivery, including food delivery, Caliber.Az reports, citing the city administration’s website.

The draft is currently undergoing an anti-corruption review.
