Posted: Tue Feb 18, 2025 10:37 am
An outstanding loan debt may result in a ban on leaving the country. In this article, we explain the reasons why you may not be allowed to leave the country and what debts may be the reason.
How passengers are checked at departure
If your flight is heading to another country, you must go through border control before boarding. First, border guards check the passport itself. If no errors are found, they proceed to check closed databases, including debtor databases. According to the FSSP report, more than 16 million decisions were made in 2023 to restrict travel due to debts.
If a Russian citizen is not in all databases, he is considered an exit tongliao mobile number database visa and is released without any problems. Debtors are not allowed to fly out.
Who is prohibited from traveling abroad
There are seven categories of citizens who are subject to permanent or temporary restrictions on travel abroad:
persons with access to state secrets;
intelligence officers;
military personnel mobilized and called up for military service;
convicted, accused and suspected of committing a crime;
persons who are going through bankruptcy proceedings;
citizens with counterfeit or invalid passports;
debtors.
Let us dwell on the last category separately.
For what debts will you not be allowed to leave the country?
A citizen may be banned from leaving the country if he or she owes more than 10,000 ₽. The debts themselves can be almost anything:
failure to pay alimony;
failure to comply with requirements for compensation for damage to health and moral damage;
non-payment of taxes;
non-payment of housing and communal services, communications and some others;
overdue traffic police fines;
non-payment of loans and microloans.
