How to find out if a foreign citizen from the Russian Federation is deported or not

There are many labor migrants in Russia. Natives of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other CIS countries work in summer cottages. How to find out if your employee has been deported or not? Will there be any trouble with the migration service and will you not have to finish the work yourself if a person suddenly leaves?

And for those who get a job, an extra check will not hurt. It is better to make sure that you are not blacklisted by the FMS and that you are not in danger of being deported. What needs to be done for this? How to check if a person has been deported or not. We have prepared the necessary information for you.

Deportation as a practice of restricting the entry of unwanted migrants is accepted all over the world. There are lists of citizens of different countries who are prohibited from entering Russia. As a rule, these are people who violated the administrative order during their previous stay in the Russian Federation. That is why it is important to personally check if your last name or the last name of your employee is on the lists on the FMS website.

Since 2013, the entry ban has affected nearly 400,000 foreigners. Some have found that they cannot be in Russia after they have already arrived at the airport. In this case, it is possible to forcefully move a foreign citizen outside the territory of the Russian Federation, accompanied by representatives of the migration service, practically under escort.

If a person is deported from the Russian Federation, then he is prohibited from entering for the next three years or for five years. It is important to know which ban has affected you in order not to break the rules again. Sometimes immigrants from the CIS countries do not speak Russian well enough and cannot independently assess what temporary restriction on entry they have been subjected to.

Violation is primary if the migrant exceeded the period of officially permitted stay, did not issue a patent for work on time. In this case, he receives an order to leave the country within a certain time. It is important to follow the deadlines and not aggravate your misconduct.

If a foreigner has not left the Russian Federation within the specified period and is hiding, he can be forcibly expelled. Employees of the special service will escort him to the passport control point to make sure that the person has left the country. The costs of deportation are borne by the migrants themselves, employers who violate the law, individuals who have issued an invitation for foreigners. Financial costs are also borne by the migration service of the Russian Federation.
