The procedure for migration control on the Russian territory is regulated by the legislative framework of the Russian Federation, according to which foreign citizens are subject to supervision by the territorial authorities on migration issues. Measures of registration, control and implementation of the deportation of citizens of other states are a prerequisite for the stay of migrants on Russian territory.
Employment problems caused by the unhealthy economic situation in the CIS countries are forcing their citizens to come to Russia to look for work and the opportunity to provide material assistance to their loved ones.
Unfortunately, not all migrants are ready to follow the norms of Russian legislation. Evasion of migration registration and violation of the terms of stay are not the only reasons leading to deportation.
Being away from home and not fearing judgment from relatives back home dulls the minds of migrants. In search of "easy money" and the desire to try on the life of a successful person, the guests of the Russian state, without hesitation, commit crimes. The prospect of being deported or expelled from Russia scares not all foreigners. The result of non-compliance with the established rules for those entering the Russian territory is the deportation or expulsion of representatives of other states.

How to find out if a migrant has been deported or not?
Watch the video on how to check deportation online:
For foreign citizens who want to check the deportation, or make sure that it does not exist, the following methods are available:
- check deportation online. If it is possible to use the Internet services, citizens should go to the official website of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, fill out the proposed form and send a request. It is possible to receive information on a request as a result of an online check within a day. It should be taken into account that the information obtained through remote access is for reference only and has no legal force.
- If there is a need to obtain legally significant information, foreign citizens will have to pay a personal visit to the territorial division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation (FMS) and receive the requested document on paper.
- An official response can also be obtained by using the mail service. When sending a request to check the deportation to the migration service, you should indicate your full details and the address to which a response is expected.
Reference! The addresses of the migration services are indicated on the official website of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
The terms for consideration of the application for information and the subsequent response may vary from several days to a month.
If information about the status of deportation from Russia was unexpected for a citizen, and he has questions, he has the right to challenge his position in court, after preparing the necessary documents and consulting with a lawyer.
This is how the website of the Federal Migration Service looks like, where you can check the deportation:
How to find out the deportation period?
The answer to the question "how to find out the terms of deportation?" is based on the norms of the Federal Law of July 25, 2002 No. 115-FZ “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”, in accordance with which:
- with a shortened stay, deportation is carried out within 3 days;
- in case of loss of a residence permit and cancellation of a temporary residence permit, deportation takes up to 15 days.
Length of stay:
- Subject to the issuance of a visa, representatives of foreign states are protected from deportation for the entire duration of the document;
- Qualified specialists of foreign states have the right to carry out their activities on the territory of the Russian Federation during the entire period of validity of the work permit. Close relatives of the specialist are allowed to be with him;
- If a foreigner enters military service under a contract, then the terms of his stay are established by a decision of the Government of the Russian Federation;
- If a foreigner plans to study on the territory of the Russian Federation, then the period of his temporary stay will depend on the duration of the study.
Attention! The period of temporary stay of foreigners within the constituent entities of the Russian Federation (without a visa) cannot exceed 90 days in total (for a period of 180 days). The reasons for increasing or reducing the specified period are based on the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation.
Deportation
The deportation of representatives of other states is carried out on the basis of the interaction of state bodies interested in this procedure (migration service and other divisions of executive bodies).
All necessary expenses associated with deportation are the responsibility of migrants, and in the absence of funds, the consulates of the states whose representatives are the deported citizens take care of the material support of the process. Foreigners awaiting deportation are placed in special institutions controlled by the FMS. The term of stay in such institutions does not exceed 48 hours. The process of deportation ends at the stage of transfer of foreign citizens to those states of which they are representatives.
If a foreigner is in places of deprivation of liberty, the decision on his deportation is made in accordance with the norms of international treaties. The issue of readmission (the consent of the state to accept back its citizens) is considered after serving the sentence of convicted citizens and is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.
Reference! A foreign citizen illegally staying on the territory of the Russian Federation is subjected to a fingerprinting procedure. Photos, fingerprinting results and other necessary information about the migrant are sent to the Centralized Data Bank, where a list of those deported from Russia is compiled.
Readmission
Unlike deportation (the return of migrants to the countries of which they are citizens), there is such a procedure as readmission. This migration measure accompanies the transfer of foreigners to the countries where they came from, while they can have any citizenship (with the exception of Russian).
Readmission is carried out on the basis of international agreements and can be carried out in a shorter time than the deportation process.
The reasons for suspension and termination of readmission may be:
- investigative measures against a citizen, or his participation in such;
- deprivation of liberty;
- state of health (documented);
- the period of consideration of an application for recognition of a citizen as a refugee;
- the presence of a relative with a serious illness, or his death;
- recognition of a migrant as missing;
- death;
- force majeure circumstances (emergency situations).
Suspension and termination of readmission is controlled by the head of the FMS body.
The picture describes all the ways to expel citizens who violated migration laws:
expulsion
Expulsion is a compulsory measure of administrative punishment, which is possible only on the basis of a court decision in relation to a foreigner. The main legal act regulating the transfer of citizens upon expulsion is the International Treaty.
