The processes of digitalization of migration are considered as a state policy aimed at improving the regulation of migration flows. The relevance of the study is associated with the introduction of digital technologies in the state management of migration processes. Analysis of the data showed that European countries are actively using digital technologies to provide more accessible and transparent procedures for the legalization of labor migrants and refugees, asylum seekers. It is concluded that DH technology can influence the management of international migration in three different dimensions: 1 - widen the gap between developed and developing countries; 2 - to promote the modernization of traditional methods used in the practices of international organizations; and 3 - to influence the adoption of new, more informed management decisions in the field of migration to ensure border security. In the Russian Federation, the process of digitalization of the migration environment is at the initial stage and at the stage of developing a target model, which includes measures to introduce a digital profile, a single document and a mobile application of a foreign citizen. Thus, the purpose of the article is to show the possibilities of digitalization of migration at the international and Russian levels, and to analyze both the positive aspects of this process and the main risks and threats arising during the implementation of digital technologies for making managerial decisions. The authors draw attention to the difficulties that arise when trying to define digital technologies associated with the peculiar and changeable social environment in which they are created. This article used systematic and comparative methods, content analysis of print and electronic media, analysis of scientific sources, which made it possible to study digital technologies as an object of state management of migration processes. The statistical data of the executive authorities were used. The results of the study showed the main problems that developers of digital technologies and representatives of government bodies may face in the massive introduction of these technologies into migration practice. The conclusions of the article can be useful for interested authorities involved in the regulation of migration processes.
