How to legally avoid deportation. Reasons for deportation

Many have heard this terrible word - deportation. But, there is no clear understanding of what it is and how it happens. However, according to the FMS, 2018 may not be very favorable for 200,000 foreigners. The deportation of foreign persons outside the country is not uncommon. This method is the most effective in the fight against illegal visitors.

Deportation usually occurs on a forced basis, moreover, both one person and a group of people can be deported. There are plenty of reasons for this, but the most common is a violation of the regime of stay in the country and non-compliance with migration rules.

One should immediately distinguish between deportation and expulsion. The first concept implies a forced departure from the country, and the second independent leaving the Russian Federation.

Some differences between deportation and expulsion:

  • a decision on deportation is made within five days, on expulsion - as soon as the document has entered into force;
  • an application for appealing against deportation is considered for 3 months, and for expulsion - 10 days;
  • expulsion is a measure of punishment, and deportation is a measure of state influence;
  • a person is deported by the court, and expelled by the FMS.

The decision of the migration service employees is made in accordance with the Law on the Stay of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation, which explains that deportation is nothing more than the expulsion of a foreign person to another country.

Moreover, it can be voluntary or forced, accompanied by an escort outside the country, which is very humiliating.

It should be understood that if a person is a citizen, then they do not have the right to expel him, even if he is the most notorious criminal. This is stipulated by the convention on the protection of human rights.

Today, deportation is an administrative punishment.

Prerequisites for deportation

The main reasons for deportation from Russia are illegality. Illegal people do not pay taxes to the country, which has a negative impact on the economy and takes jobs in large numbers. If such a person is not able to pay for the deportation, the money is spent from the state treasury.

You can anonymously report illegal immigrants to the migration service and it will take appropriate preventive measures.

Persons subject to deportation from Russia

The Law states that foreign persons are subject to deportation:


Moreover, a foreign person must leave Russia within 72 hours with reduced terms and within 5 days with the cancellation of a residence permit.

What will happen to a stateless person?

The law clarifies that this person does not have citizenship, and therefore it is impossible to determine to which state he belongs. As a rule, such a person can be deported due to a violation of the law or simply an undesirable presence in the country.

For example:

  1. If a foreign person has relatives who are citizens of the Russian Federation.
  2. Obtaining a residence permit.
  3. The presence of a labor patent.
  4. Marriage with a citizen of Russia.
  5. Education in a higher institution with accreditation in the territory of the Russian Federation.
  6. Treatment.

But, you should know that the court decision is not immediately canceled, and in order to remove the deportation, it will take quite a lot of time and the provision of the required documents with the basis for canceling the decision to deport a person.

How to check your passport

The legislation establishes that a foreign person after deportation from Russia cannot return within 3-5 years. The violator himself does not always know about this, and an unpleasant surprise awaits him already when crossing the border.


This happens upon arrival in Russia.
After revealing a ban on visiting the country, the deportee is again expelled from it. To prevent such an incident, you should check your documents in advance.

This is carried out on the portal of the FMS service and allows you to find out whether or not a foreign person is on the black list. This is very convenient and does not require a personal visit and contact with the migration services, however, such information is not legally binding.

The site only requires you to enter personal information.

By the way, an excellent option is to check the employer of a foreign citizen who came to work in the Russian Federation in order to exclude the fact of providing a job to an illegal immigrant and avoid punishment in the form of a large fine.

How to prevent eviction from the country

Deportation will not occur if the foreign person follows the rules.
