The press service of the Russian Security Council apparatus has published summary migration control data for the first nine months of 2026. According to the report, approximately 1.8 million administrative offense reports were filed against foreign nationals in Russia. Concurrently, over 143,000 decisions were made to expel migrants from the country during the same period. The agency emphasizes that the expulsion figure has roughly tripled compared to the same period last year. ### Expulsion Decisions and Reduction of Stay Durations In addition to expulsions, 78,700 decisions were made since the beginning of 2026 to curtail the temporary stay of foreigners in Russia. According to the Security Council apparatus, this figure is 2.5 times higher than last year's. Thus, migration control tools are being applied in two main areas, according to the agency: forced departure from the country and restrictions on the permitted duration of stay within the Russian Federation. ### Deportations and Entry Refusals From January to September 2026, about 4,800 foreign nationals were deported from Russia. Furthermore, more than 290,000 people were denied entry permits into the country. Taken together, these indicators reflect both the enforcement and preventive components of migration control, as stated by the agency. ### Entry Flows and the Share of CIS Citizens A total of 6.9 million foreign citizens entered Russia since the beginning of the year, of which 4.7 million are citizens of CIS countries. The Security Council apparatus notes that the overall entry figure is 9% lower than last year's. This means that while the overall flow of foreigners has decreased, the proportion of administrative measures applied against migrants has grown. ### Discrepancies in Figures Between Agencies Of particular note is the discrepancy in estimates regarding the scale of expulsions. While the Security Council apparatus cites a figure of over 143,000 expulsion decisions, Dmitry Aristov, Director of the Federal Bailiff Service, previously reported that 63,500 people were forcibly expelled from the country in the first nine months of 2026, which is 1.5 times higher than the same period last year. The difference is explained by the fact that the former agency records decisions made, whereas the latter counts actually executed forced expulsions. Regional data confirm the general trend: for example, according to the Omsk Ministry of Internal Affairs, 202 foreign citizens were expelled and deported from the Omsk Region alone between January and September 2026. ## Accounts differ ### Number of Expelled Migrants in the First 9 Months of 2026 - **Russian Security Council Apparatus:** More than 143,000 decisions to expel migrants were made in the first 9 months of 2026.
