Deportation: what it is and who it threatens

The Russian migration service has always been strict about violations of the rules of stay by foreigners and stateless persons. However, since August 2013, the measures have become even more severe. Let's figure out what deportation is and who is at risk of undergoing this procedure?

The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms states that citizens of a state may not be expelled from its territory or prevented from returning. And the international criminal court calls the forced displacement of the country's population a crime against humanity.

According to the federal law of the Russian Federation (No. 115-FZ), deportation is an administrative punishment. It consists in forced displacement (IG) or (LBG) outside Russia without the right to return within 3-5 years. The more serious the offense, the longer the offender cannot return to the Russian Federation.

It's pretty sharp. According to , hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants are deported every year, and these numbers are steadily growing.

Sometimes deportation is the only way to deal with this problem. However, it is impossible to deport a visitor just because he is not a citizen of the Russian Federation. This form of punishment is applied only if a person does not have a legal basis for further stay in the country.

Usually the deportee voluntarily leaves the country. But if the migration service has reason to believe that the IS may evade leaving Russia within the period prescribed by law, the FMS employees will appoint an escort to escort the violator to the border checkpoint.

Deportation rules from Russia

The decision to deport ISIS is made by the head of Russia after analyzing the materials submitted by the head of the structural unit. Until a decision is made, a foreign citizen will be kept in a special institution of the migration service. There he will be provided with food and medical care.

The deportation procedure is carried out within the framework of the law “On the Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”. This document requires a foreigner to leave Russia within 3 days after the expiration of the legal period of his stay.

The foreigner will be invited to a meeting with the migration officer, where he will learn about the decision and receive a copy of it. In his identity document, and on the exit coupon of the migration card, they will put a stamp on the prohibition of entry into the Russian Federation. The foreigner will undergo mandatory fingerprint registration. After that, an accounting file will be opened on it, the storage period of which is 10 years.

As soon as the decision on deportation is made, the representative of the FMS will forward this information to the Russian Foreign Ministry and to the organization that invited the ISIS (to the embassy, ​​consulate, legal entity/individual).

If a foreigner does not agree with this measure of punishment, he can appeal against it within 10 days from the date of delivery of the decision.

Who pays for shipping

Deportation from the country occurs due to:

  • personal funds of the IG;
  • the inviting party;
  • embassies or consulates of the country of which the foreigner is a citizen.

If it is impossible to establish who is the inviting party, and the deportee himself does not have enough money, all expenses are borne by the territorial division of the FMS. Tickets or other travel documents, as well as visas (if necessary) are purchased at the expense of the federal budget.

Who is not punished

There are a number of categories of foreigners/stateless persons who are not subject to this type of administrative penalty. These include employees of diplomatic / consular institutions, as well as persons:

  • seeking asylum;
  • received political asylum;
  • applicants for recognition as refugees / .

Those who have lost/deprived of status cannot be deported if they face persecution in their homeland for racial, religious, social and other reasons.

Reasons for deportation

There is an opinion that even an ordinary tourist can be affected by forced deportation. In what cases can a foreigner face this type of punishment? As a general rule, there must be compelling grounds for removal from the country:

Deportation is practiced in many parts of the world.

In the case of expulsion, it is carried out in all countries of the Schengen Agreement, and all the materials of the case immediately fall into the information base of the system.

From Thailand, the authorities deport a foreigner for carrying out labor activities without official permission or acquiring a land plot. Anyone who violates dry law will have to leave the UAE forcibly. And they are expelled from China for hooliganism and immoral behavior. The entry ban sometimes lasts for 10 years.
