The government of Germany announced that they would facilitate the visa requirements for skilled workers from Russia. According to reports, the visa application process will be streamlined by excluding Russian workers who have specialized skills in IT and technology.
The global approval for access to the labor market, which applies to Russian citizens who work for German companies and earn less than €43,992 annually, will continue until September 30.
