The current legislation in Russia provides for a number of cases in which bans or restrictions are imposed on traveling abroad for various categories of citizens. They can be related to both the type of activity and high level access to state secrets, possession of classified information, etc. In addition, in connection with the introduction of sanctions against Russia by European countries and the United States, restrictions on leaving the country have been imposed on a number of government officials based on a list approved by government authorities.

In this article we will consider whether a ban on traveling abroad for a certain category of persons is legal; what legislative acts regulate these prohibitions; In what cases is it possible to do something to gain the opportunity to travel abroad and how can one check one’s identity to be on the list of those prohibited from traveling abroad?

Who is subject to travel restrictions?

• having access to state secret information;
• undergoing compulsory military service or contract service;
• working in federal investigative agencies;
• having a court verdict on criminal charges that has entered into force;
• who are in the status of a suspect or accused in the process of investigating a criminal case;
• having outstanding debts to government agencies, banking or other credit organizations in the amount of more than 10,000 rubles;
• having personal restrictions on travel due to the specific nature of work in government agencies.

Below we will consider in more detail each type of restrictions that can be imposed on citizens of the Russian Federation.

Restriction on the level of access to state secrets

When applying for a job that involves the possession of state secrets, the applicant is required to fill out an appropriate document explaining the restrictions associated with this, including the ban on traveling outside the state. As a rule, in accordance with the current norms of the law, the ban on traveling abroad for carriers of state secret information ceases to apply 5 years after the end of employment related to state secrets, but in some cases it can be extended up to 10 years by decision of the interdepartmental commission for the protection of state secrets .

After the expiration of the five-year period, further extension of the ban can be appealed by appealing to the commission or in court. These standards are regulated by law Russian Federation“On state secrets” (dated July 21, 1993).

Restrictions for persons undergoing military service

Travel outside the territory of the Russian Federation is also prohibited for all conscript soldiers. Citizens who are on contract military service must obtain permission from the unit command to travel abroad. Conscripts who have a valid deferment from conscription or have been exempted from it have the right to leave on a general basis.

This procedure for obtaining a travel permit is regulated by the Instruction on the procedure for interaction between the Federal Migration Service of Russia, territorial bodies of the Federal Migration Service of Russia and their structural divisions with the Russian Ministry of Defense, military commissariats and departments of military commissariats when processing citizens of the Russian Federation who are subject to conscription for military service or assignment to alternative civilian service.

Restrictions on prosecution

Persons who have the status of a criminal, accused or suspect are also prohibited from traveling abroad. This requires a corresponding court decision that has entered into force and a preventive measure chosen by the judicial authorities.

Restrictions due to the presence of various debts

• debt to tax authorities;
• debt on housing and utility payments;
• non-payment of alimony;
• unpaid fines imposed by the traffic inspectorate;
• violation of the payment schedule on existing loans.

It should be taken into account that the possibility of imposing such a ban on the debtor appears if there is an appropriate decision judiciary. The actual existence of a debt in the absence of a court order cannot be a basis for refusing a citizen to travel abroad.

When court proceedings are opened and the corresponding decision is made, the debtor is notified about this by mail, and in by post it clearly states that the travel ban has entered into force and contains a copy of the relevant resolution. All actions to ban travel due to non-execution of a civil court decision are carried out in accordance with the Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”.

How to check for travel restrictions?

Debtors who are afraid of the restrictions imposed on them can check online without leaving their home to see if they are on the list of persons prohibited from leaving. This opportunity is provided by the online resource of the bailiff service - FSSP. By entering the last name, first name and patronymic, place of registration and date of birth in a special form on the website, you can see the list of legal proceedings opened against this person and the court decisions that were made.

In addition to checking for restrictions on the FSSP website, it is also recommended to check:

• availability of tax debts - on the website of the tax service;
• information about unpaid fines and debts - in personal account on the State Services portal.

Upon written request, any person can obtain a certificate about the presence or absence of a travel ban from the territorial office of the Federal Tax Service (FTS).

In what cases can a travel ban be challenged?

The legislation provides for the possibility of obtaining permission to travel from the bailiff service for a sufficiently valid reason, for example, illness or death of close relatives or the need for urgent treatment. Of course, the presence of valid reasons must be documented, but the final decision is made by the local territorial body of the FSSP.

Availability of money reserved room in a hotel, a planned vacation abroad or a business meeting - all this can be crossed out by a ban on traveling abroad. The restriction is introduced if there are grounds, which will be discussed below.

Dear friends! In this article, we will talk about such a sensitive topic for many people, the ban on traveling abroad. Questions about this on the Forum arise constantly, and the saddest thing is that many people find out about the ban already when going through border control at the airport. The topic is vast and there are many questions in it, we will try to answer the main and priority ones. For a more complete disclosure of the issue, we will talk not only about the restrictions imposed by bailiffs on debtors, but about other reasons for restrictions and bans on leaving Russia. And so let's go...

Who can be banned or restricted from traveling abroad?

The ban on traveling abroad is introduced on the basis of Federal Law No. 114-FZ. This legal act specifies cases when a citizen is limited in his rights to cross the state border. These include:

• Criminals who have not served their sentences.
• Accused of crimes and defendants.
• Conscripts and military personnel of conscript/alternative service.
• FSB employees and persons who have access to information constituting state secrets.
• Persons who knowingly submitted false information to obtain documents in order to leave the country.
• Civil servants.
• Citizens who avoid fulfilling obligations imposed on them by a court decision.

Criminals who have not served their sentences.

Citizens who have been convicted by a court cannot travel abroad for the entire period of their criminal record. The restriction is lifted only after the criminal record is expunged or expunged. But there are exceptions when such persons are allowed to travel abroad, namely:

• If they are amnestied or pardoned.
• Changes in legislation exclude the corpus delicti for which punishment is imposed from the Criminal Code.
• The judgment was overturned.
• The statute of limitations for execution of the sentence has expired due to circumstances that in no way depend on the convicted person.

Accused of crimes and defendants.

But even before a guilty verdict is passed, restrictions on free travel abroad are imposed on the accused and defendants. Restrictions become invalid if:

• All charges against the citizen are dropped.
• The punishment has been cancelled.
• The criminal case ends with an acquittal, which has entered into force.
• No preventive measure is applied to the released accused.

Conscripts and military personnel of compulsory or alternative service.

Persons called up for compulsory military service in the army for the entire period cannot travel abroad, with the exception of:

• The serviceman is a contract soldier, and the commander of the unit in which he is serving has issued him an official document allowing him to freely travel outside of Russia.
• Persons who have a deferment from the army or are exempt from serving.

FSB employees and persons who have access to information constituting state secrets.

FSB employees are restricted from freely traveling outside the country while signing a contract with the agency. The travel ban can be temporarily lifted if you submit a corresponding report. You must apply for it no later than three months before your planned trip. If the report is satisfied, a corresponding decision is issued, which is issued against signature.

We've covered how to check debt, now about the most important thing! How to find out about a travel ban. Here it is important to immediately understand that border guards do not have access to the database and, accordingly, they cannot guarantee your absence from it. An exact answer to this question can only be given by the border service of the FSB of Russia and the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

The first and 100% guaranteed method to provide accurate information. You can send an appeal using the application form located on the official website of the Russian Border Service. The answer usually comes within 10-30 days. You can also try sending a request by email, as described in the topic on the Forum.

The second option is to contact the Main Directorate for Migration and Migration with a written request regarding the existence of a ban on traveling abroad. To do this, go to the official website of the Main Directorate of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, select “Main Directorate for Migration Issues” in the list and enter all the necessary data. The law enforcement agency will give a response indicating information about the restriction:

• What decision was entered, its number and date.
• For what period was it introduced?
• Which organization initiated it?

The ban can also be initiated by the Federal Penitentiary Service, the FSSP, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there are legal grounds, they send a notification to the Main Directorate for Migration, indicating the circumstances under which a particular person is prohibited from leaving the country.

It is important to know! You can appeal the imposed restriction through the court or the Main Directorate for Migration. The first is a statement of claim, the second is a complaint.

UPD: 09.22.2017
According to the latest messages from users on the Forum, unfortunately, border guards and the Ministry of Internal Affairs no longer provide information about the restrictions imposed.

On the Forum in the “Cheat Sheet” topic there is information about other ways to check restrictions

Politics and sanctions

The order restricting travel abroad was signed by the Prosecutor General of Russia Yuri Chaika in May 2014. It concerns department employees who are prohibited from visiting 173 countries of the world, including not only Turkey, Italy, Spain and Egypt, but also Tunisia, Cambodia, and Thailand. Similar orders were issued for other security forces - the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and drug control.

The basis for such bans are recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued to the security forces of the Russian Federation so that department employees refrain from traveling abroad, in which they could become victims of provocations. The Foreign Ministry fears that due to the aggravation of the international situation in connection with the annexation of Crimea to Russia, such actions against employees of Russian law enforcement agencies are quite possible.

All 173 countries have agreements on the extradition of persons with citizenship of other states. Additionally, the list includes those countries that have introduced or joined sanctions against Russia.

Answers to pressing questions

Despite all of the above, additional questions may arise, namely:

• The amount of debt from which the FSSP limits travel abroad?
• How quickly are bans lifted after debt is paid off?
• What is the procedure after paying off the debt?

The largest number of restrictions on traveling abroad concern debtors. It's not just physical and legal entities who did not pay taxes on time. For example, alimony defaulters are also prohibited from leaving the country until they pay off their obligations to their children.

As stated above, one of the grounds for preventing travel abroad is the amount of debt from 10,000 rubles. If it is lower, border guards do not have the right not to let such persons out of the country.

It is important to know! For the debtor, the surest and only correct way to lift the ban is to pay the debt.

Deadlines for lifting restrictions

Having paid your debts, you should expect that the FSSP of Russia will make changes to the database and lift the ban within 10 days. But as the practice of our Forum members shows, making changes can take up to a month. How to speed up this process is described in a topic on the Forum. Exceptions are cases when traveling abroad is related to treatment, there are corresponding medical indications. In such situations, changes to the database are carried out expeditiously within 1 day.

Every year, bailiffs issue several hundred thousand orders to restrict the movement of defaulters outside the country. Gradually, legislation on debt collection measures is becoming more severe, and the number of decisions issued to restrict travel abroad is growing from year to year. These preventive measures can greatly ruin the long-awaited vacation for many.

We will tell you in this article about how to avoid being included in the list of those banned from traveling, what to do if you do end up on their number, and how to travel abroad while banned from traveling.

How can you be among those banned from traveling?

There is only one way to get on this ominous list, after a court decision is made, the case is transferred to the bailiffs for forced collection, the bailiff issues a resolution “On restricting the movement of the defaulter” and sends this resolution to the Border Service of the FSB of Russia. That's all, now you are on the black list and will not be allowed to go abroad.

In other words, if your taxes have not been paid, a bank loan, rent, alimony, fines and other obligatory payments have not been repaid, and a court hearing has already taken place at which you were ordered to repay the debt, but you still have not repaid it, then your case has been transferred for execution by the Bailiff Service (FSSP).

And no one else and in any other way can not let you go abroad! No matter what collectors and other pre-trial collectors say, they do not have such a right. All they can do is intimidate, or, in extreme cases, take the case to court, and then this only happens with large debts that have not expired. The statute of limitations for debt cases is three years, three years from the date of each payment amount (debt).

What does it mean?

For example, you have a debt to the bank, according to the agreement you must make payments every month, and so, the statute of limitations of three years in this case will be counted from the date of each individual payment.

How are they not allowed to go abroad?

Everything is simple here - on the border. And your receipt of a visa does not give absolutely any guarantees, that is, the visa was issued to you by the state to which you are going on vacation, and our border guards will not let you out.

The situation could be dire. Tickets and hotel paid, or vouchers, you have arrived at the airport or the Russian border already looking forward to your upcoming vacation... and here our border control will turn you back. Whether you are a debtor or not, border guards check borders at all checkpoints using a common database.

How to protect yourself from not being allowed to travel abroad

The best way to protect yourself from a surprise at the border is to check your status with the FSSP in advance.

There are several ways to do this:

Firstly, you can find out about the presence or absence of debt and the presence of a ban on traveling abroad in the bailiff department at the place of registration. But this is a long and tedious task;

Secondly, information about the presence or absence of a debt can be obtained for free, in just ten seconds, through an online service, using the bailiff database, on the official website of the FSSP, in the section “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings”. On the page, in the columns, you must enter your last name, first name and select your region of registration or residence.

If you still find your name on the service and the amount of debt:

1. for claims for the collection of alimony, compensation for harm caused to health, compensation for harm in connection with the death of the breadwinner, property damage and (or) moral harm caused by a crime, exceeds 10,000 rubles;

2. for other requirements, if the amount of debt under the executive document (executive documents) is 30,000 rubles or more,

then you already have something to worry about! You need to find out if there is a ban on traveling abroad; if there is one, you will need at least a few weeks before your upcoming trip to resolve the situation.

How to do it?

First of all, you should immediately contact the bailiff in charge of the proceedings (as a rule, the FSSP department and the name of the bailiff are indicated in the production database). The bailiff will be required to provide information on the basis of which writ of execution and court decision the debt arose, which led to the restriction on travel. You can also obtain details from the bailiff to pay the debt. Well, pay off the debt. And even after this, we do not recommend going on vacation right away, the fact is that it takes time for the bailiff to credit the payment and cancel the recognizance, in practice - at least two weeks.

If, for some reason, you do not agree with the resulting debt, then there is only one way out - to try to restore the period for appealing the court decision.

All these tips are suitable for those who at least guess about their debts, or know, however, in our country sometimes just ridiculous incidents happen... sometimes check yourself using the database.

But what should those who find out about debts at the green corridor at the airport do?

Alas, tickets and reservations in this case will be burned, burned irrevocably. The only thing that can be recommended to do in this case is to file a claim against the FSSP Office and the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, attaching a certificate of refusal to cross the border due to debt, and also prove the absence of any debts. Or, if the debt has been repaid, attach a document indicating timely repayment of the debt. The debt must be repaid at least 2 weeks before the departure date, otherwise it will be refused.

The last rule also applies to cases where the debtor repaid the debt in a timely manner (one and a half to two months in advance), but due to bureaucratic red tape, he was not removed from the list of those not allowed to travel abroad.

What should we do for those who can’t pay or don’t want to, but vacation is just around the corner?

There are several ways here:

1. We agree with the bailiff

We go on a personal visit to the bailiff in whose proceedings the case is pending, to resolve the situation, so to speak, “in our own way,” and to possibly temporarily lift the travel restriction. Yes, you can try to do this, and it works in practice; we personally know bailiffs who, upon great request and for a couple of thousand rubles, temporarily lift travel bans. But again, everything here is individual and depends on the bailiff. It’s good when the bailiff is a young guy; as a rule, such people don’t refuse extra money for carousing.

Bailiffs can be convinced by assurances that the debt will soon be repaid or there is an urgent need to travel in connection with accompanying a patient for treatment abroad, or in connection with organizing a wedding of close relatives, the birth of family members, funerals and other personal family events. .

2. Leave via Belarus

Another way is to travel abroad through Belarus. The entry of Russians into the Republic of Belarus is free and is not checked at the border.

In 2015, agreements were signed between the Russian Federation and Belarus on the creation of a common base, according to which both countries will not release debtors for alimony, loans and housing and communal services debts. However, in practice, there is still no mention of specific dates for the implementation of the agreement and is unlikely to appear in the near future, so this exit route is still open to citizens restricted from leaving the country. We don’t know how long this will last, we advise you to check before the trip.

Representatives security forces The Russian Federation and those who have access to state secrets are aware of the taboo on traveling outside their home country. There may also be other citizens on the “black list” of the FSB border units who, before going through passport control, considered themselves to be traveling abroad. This article will discuss how to find out if there is a ban on traveling abroad? And this must be done at least two weeks before the planned date of travel. Then you won’t have to unpack your suitcases and count the losses from your short-sightedness.

Why can Russian citizens be restricted from traveling?

The biggest trouble that can await those traveling outside the Fatherland is a ban on travel at the border checkpoint. People who are considered restricted from traveling abroad due to their duties are well aware of the prohibitions. But in a number of cases, a ban can be imposed on ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation.

The time limit is regulated by law. The common belief that an insignificant debt on traffic police fines, payment of housing and communal services and taxes can become an obstacle to traveling abroad is not true. Your debt may be equal to or exceed 30 thousand rubles - the liability threshold was increased in the second half of 2017.

Previously, the amount was three times smaller debts. But even with multimillion-dollar unpaid obligations, you can leave your country. To be sure of this, you must know for what reasons and to what extent you should postpone your foreign voyage.

Reasons for the ban on leaving Russia

The Migration Service and the FSB of the Russian Federation regulate the procedure for Russians leaving the country.

Main reasons for the ban:

1. Service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This includes access to information containing state secrets.
2. Being under investigation, sentence for the crime committed, including probation. This category includes citizens who were released on parole from prison.
3. Availability of debts. Evasion of court-imposed obligations to repay debt.

Key words in the travel ban for debtors:

• the court's decision,
• non-repayment of debt under claims.

The amount of debt under the writ of execution from 2017 should exceed 30 thousand rubles compared to the 10 thousand previously in force. The increase in the liability threshold was adopted in connection with inflationary processes in the Russian Federation.

Where and how to view the “black list” by last name and online?

Those planning to travel abroad should not be reassured by the fact that they have not received written notice from the bailiffs. The letter simply could have gotten lost or arrived at an address where the debtor does not live. The border service is not interested in your “ignorance” and you will not receive a “green light”. Only bitter disappointment: the collapse of plans and the loss of considerable money paid for tickets or for the tour.

To avoid getting into such a situation, you need to review your personal data in advance for “cleanliness.” In the case of a debt subject to repayment according to executive documents, repay it.

Important! Check with time: information about the lifting of a court decision on a travel ban does not arrive at the border service with the wave of a magic wand - this action will take some time.

Most likely, lifting the ban after compliance with court orders will take about two weeks. The databases will be updated, and you will be able to fly outside the Russian Federation.

There are many direct access sites for online background checks before your trip. You will receive information from the border guards too late - at the time of passing control. This information is not publicly available - the unit is part of the Federal Security Service.

Attention! We do not recommend delaying the check until departure. Even if you pay off the debt right at the airport, the restrictions will not be lifted. It is necessary to wait for documentary confirmation of the completion of enforcement proceedings - this is done by bailiffs. Next, the data must be entered into the register of the border control service.

Checking lists of debtors

At the bailiffs (FSSP)

Best service and the guarantor of your “purity” is the official website of the bailiff service:

Working with it does not require separate registration and creation of a Personal Account. You are immediately taken to the public part of the Bank of Enforcement Proceedings.

Fill in the fields:

• registration region from the drop-down list;
• Full Name;
• Date of Birth.

The answer: “Nothing was found for your request” opens up the green light for you to leave. If your request specifies the date and number of the enforcement proceeding, you can instantly repay the debt with a bank card.

On the FSSP website you will find information about initiating enforcement. proceedings for the following debts:

• payment for housing and communal services;
• traffic police fines;
• transfers to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
• private loans;
• tax deductions;
• loan payments.

For complete confidence, you can order a paid report on all your debts with a database check. Based on the results, the probability of departure is estimated. To do this, fill out the form below:

On the State Services portal

Perhaps your fines have not yet been transferred to the bailiff service after the court hearing.

This procedure takes up to 70 days.:

• 10 – period for appeal;
• 60 – to pay off the debt.

Then you should contact the State Unified System.

You can access this resource in your territorial tax authority, which will issue a password and login, or use an account for the State Services portal. Holders of a qualified electronic signature can work in a taxpayer’s personal account.

If you find a debt there that exceeds 30 thousand rubles, pay it off before forced collection.

traffic police

Theoretically, you can leave a request on the help service website here: services.fms.gov.ru/info-service.htm?sid=3000. But the answer is for reference only.

You can check whether you are on the “black list of those not allowed to travel abroad” when you receive a foreign passport. If you have debts under writs of execution, the issuance of the document will be refused.

Electronic checks on these sites are simple and free. However, commercial information resources have also appeared that, for a small fee (two to three hundred rubles) promise you “the most reliable information.”

Make no mistake: paid services still use the same free official databases. They do not have access to the internal resources of the intelligence services. Perhaps they will save time for an insecure PC user.

How to find out if there is a ban on a child traveling abroad?

The ban on a child traveling abroad with one of the parents raises many questions. Until recently, there was a lot of misunderstanding about this.

In 2015, the FSB Border Service abolished the mandatory notarized permission for the departure of a minor from one of the parents. But, unfortunately, children can end up on the “black list”.

One of the parents has the right to veto the child’s foreign travel. Another person learns about the ban only at the time of check-in for a flight or going through passport control - there is no basis for checking minors using a stop list.

The ban procedure is not regulated by the legislator. An application in a simple form submitted to the FMS is enough and a ban will be obtained. The ban can only be lifted through a court decision.

To establish a ban, a parent, usually not living with the minor, must provide the migration service with the original birth certificate of the child.

Do not give the original birth certificate to the other party under any pretext, and you will be sure that the “threat” to make your child unable to travel abroad exists only in words.

Are debts checked at the border with Kazakhstan and Belarus or at the airport?

“Banned” debtors are looking for workarounds to cross the border. For a long time, the “detour” scheme through states worked Customs Union. By plane - to Minsk, from there to your destination.

But, according to reviews from travelers, at the Belarusian airport debtors are turned back to their home airport. Since mid-2017, border guards have been working to unite all bases of the states that are members of the Customs Union.

The same applies to Kazakhstan. Previously proven travel scheme to Asian countries (transit railway ticket to Kazakhstan Petropavlovsk) also began to malfunction. At the border between Russia and Kazakhstan, debtors are removed from the train.

There is only one loophole left for “forgetful” debtors. Transit through Lithuania by train Moscow - Kaliningrad. Take a ticket to the final station. Stop your trip in Vilnius. From there fly to the desired country. A prerequisite is an open Schengen visa.

No one will prohibit you from entering Russia - you can take a direct flight.

For a visual aid to checking debt on the bailiffs website, watch this video:

Conclusion

Don't look for workarounds. There are fewer and fewer loopholes for debtors. When planning a trip abroad, check your “stop list” in advance using the available database of official websites. After paying your debts, visit the bailiff to make sure the legal proceedings are closed.

Remember, that it will take about another half month before the internal use database is updated Border Service FSB of Russia. Only then will a “green street” be open to former debtors.

For complete confidence, you can order a paid report on all your debts with a database check. Based on the results, the probability of departure is estimated. To do this, fill out the form below.

Updated 02/07/2019

Is it possible to travel abroad with debts? Any person who has any debt should check their status before traveling outside Russia. Otherwise, a surprise may await you right at passport control. Every year, thousands of Russians are turned away because they do not know the law and have not taken care of a carefree vacation in advance. From the article you will learn how to check whether you will be released abroad with debts, whether there is a difference between debt for housing and communal services and alimony, and also what amount of debt limits travel abroad.

If you plan to travel abroad with debts, you can check their presence or absence in several ways. I’ll tell you about all of them below, but first, let’s figure out which law stipulates restrictions on traveling abroad for debt reasons.

Traveling abroad with debts, or rather not leaving the Russian Federation, is regulated by several laws, including the federal laws “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation” and “On enforcement proceedings.” They are written in dry language and sometimes it is more difficult to understand them than the language of aliens who flew from the constellation Alpha Centauri. Therefore, I will explain everything in simple terms.

Temporary restriction of the right to travel outside Russia is considered an effective measure and the Federal Bailiff Service (FSPP) successfully applies it, but many do not know exactly how such a process is launched.

The very fact of debt, be it a loan, traffic police fines or alimony, does not automatically make a person unable to travel abroad. To do this, the amount of debt must exceed a certain threshold, but even after this, a particular citizen may be included in the list of debtors who are prohibited from traveling abroad only after several months, or even years.

Who may be restricted from leaving Russia

Most Russians do not know what amount of debt limits travel abroad. In 2017, its size changed, causing even more confusion. Although in reality everything is simple.

1. If we are talking about the collection of alimony, compensation for harm caused to health or compensation for harm in connection with the death of the breadwinner, then I can restrict a person from leaving Russia if the total debt recognized by the court exceeds 10 thousand rubles.
2. For all other requirements (debts for utilities, bank loans, loans from microfinance organizations, traffic police fines, etc.), the amount of debt for which leaving the country can be prohibited is from 30 thousand rubles.

Statistics from bailiffs say that most often orders banning travel are issued against Russians who are in debt.

• Bank loan.
• MFO loan.
• To the state on traffic police fines.
• Management companies for utilities.
• Former spouse and child for alimony.
• To the state for taxes.

Any of the above categories of debtors does not automatically become prohibited from traveling even if the amount of his debt exceeds 30 thousand rubles. Temporary restrictions on traveling abroad do not always arise even after a court decision is made. There are nuances here too. For example, debts arising from traffic fines do not concern the courts in any way; they are immediately transferred to the FSSP. But in most cases the process goes like this.

1. A debt case comes to court.
2. The court makes a decision on forced collection.
3. This decision is sent to the bailiffs, who must collect the debt using various measures of influence on the debtors, including making a decision to restrict travel abroad.

How quickly are travel restrictions introduced?

Restrictions when traveling abroad due to debts are not introduced automatically, so in each individual case the period for introducing such a restriction may be different. Next on specific examples We will analyze situations with debts on loans, fines, alimony, utility bills, and so on.

Traveling abroad with housing and communal services debts

Debt for utilities and traveling abroad are in no way connected with each other. Some Russians do not pay bills for housing and communal services for months and quietly travel around the world. So, traveling abroad with utility debts is quite possible, unless the house management company or the homeowners association of your home has decided to seek debt collection through the courts.

Practice shows that utility companies only go to court if they have large debts. The very fact of the trial is also not a reason for introducing a temporary restriction on traveling abroad. Only after a court decision on forced collection is made, the bailiff service will be able to open enforcement proceedings, within the framework of which it is possible to use restrictive measures.

Where can I check my housing and communal services debt and will I be allowed to go abroad with it if there is enforcement proceedings? If it is less than 30,000 rubles, then no one has the right to restrict you from leaving. But checking the existence of debt for utility bills is quite difficult. More precisely, you yourself know it very well if you receive tickets and do not pay for them. If the house management company goes to court, you should receive a corresponding notification. If the court has made a decision, the service nevylet.rf will help you find out about it. There you can get all the current data at the time of the request. Not only for court decisions, but also for traffic police fines, credit debts, and so on.

Traveling abroad with alimony debt

Is it possible to travel abroad with alimony debts? It is definitely possible if the debt on them is less than 10,000 rubles. In other cases, there is a high risk of becoming temporarily banned from traveling abroad. Court proceedings for alimony payments are usually resolved quite quickly, and bailiffs make a decision to restrict travel even faster. Therefore, if you ask whether alimony workers who do not pay are released abroad, I will answer that they are reluctant to do so and alimony debt is one of the most problematic.

Will they be released abroad with loan debt?

Surprisingly, there are Russians who ask more knowledgeable people on the Internet whether they will let them go abroad if they have a loan. There is only one answer: 1000 times “Yes”. Even if you have 10 loans, but you regularly pay them, you can safely go to any country - the border guards will not grab your hand, shake their fingers and turn you back for having a loan.

It’s another matter when debtors going on vacation ask whether they will let them go abroad with unpaid loans. Here it is important to understand what the people asking the question mean by the phrase “unpaid loan”. If it’s just the fact of having a loan, then see the paragraph above. If you have a loan debt, then whether you will be allowed to go abroad or not depends on the stage of your relationship with the bank. But I emphasize once again that without a court decision and open enforcement proceedings, neither collectors nor representatives of the bank’s security service have the right to restrict your departure from Russia.

The presence of loan debt and the recognition of this debt by the court significantly reduces your chances of traveling abroad. Again, if the loan debt is less than 30,000 rubles, even the bailiffs on duty at the airport will not be able to stop you.

Therefore, to the question “Will they let you go abroad if you have a loan?”, the answer is an unequivocal “They will let you out,” but to the question “You have a debt on a loan, will you let you go abroad?”, everything is not so clear.

It doesn’t matter what type of loan you owe. This could be a consumer loan, mortgage debt, or debt credit card. Without FSSP enforcement proceedings or if the loan debt is less than 30,000 rubles, all Russian airports are open to you.

Abroad with fine debts

Do they let you go abroad with traffic police fines? Getting a fine from traffic cops is easy these days. There are so many video cameras and violations installed that you just have time to receive letters of happiness. Of course, someone will say, follow the traffic rules and sleep well. But situations are different and sometimes committing a minor offense simply cannot be avoided. On the other hand, if there is a threshold of 30,000 rubles, you have to be a very persistent traffic violator in order to be included in the list of travel bans.

Perhaps you consider yourself one of these people, and you are planning to travel abroad with debts? You can check all unpaid traffic fines in different ways, including through the government services portal, but the Nevylet.rf service will help you identify all your debts at once. Since on federal websites the relevance of the data is 2 weeks, and on the Nevylet.rf service the data is current on the day of access.

You must remember that you have 60 days to pay administrative fines, including traffic police fines. Two months after the fine is issued, the debt, bypassing the court, is transferred to the FSSP. This is bad for the debtor, but there is also a positive aspect. Bailiffs cannot restrict a citizen who has unpaid administrative fines from leaving the country. The need to establish such a ban is determined by the court, where FSSP employees must apply.

How and where to find out about the ban on traveling abroad

Will they be released abroad? How to check? Where to see? This is the question asked by everyone who feels the potential to be on the travel ban list, even temporarily. There are several options for checking the presence of debts, which may be the reason for imposing a travel restriction. I'll tell you about them all, their pros and cons.

Website of the Federal Bailiff Service

The FSSP website is located at fssprus.ru and immediately on home page offers to find out about your debts. It is enough to enter your last name and first name or individual entrepreneur number and also indicate the territorial authority (your region). The system will then ask you to enter letter code and will display the search results.

Your personal data may coincide with the personal data of another debtor, so to clarify, use the advanced search, indicating the middle name and date of birth.

The system shows enforcement proceedings that have been opened against a citizen over the past few years. Including those already closed. There is an opportunity to pay the debt, but please note that a commission is charged.

The FSSP website explains: “The entry in the Data Bank will be deleted or changed (in case of partial repayment of the debt) within 3 to 7 days from the date of payment, since cash must go to the deposit account of the bailiff department, distributed, transferred to the recoverer.”

Government services website

If you are registered on the government services website, you can check your debt here. The site shows debts not only by the bank of enforcement proceedings, but also by other databases: traffic police fines, tax debt, court debt.

You need to search in the relevant sections of the government services catalog (in the screenshot below I noted where to click). Traffic police fines are searched in the “Transport and Driving” section, tax debts in the “Taxes and Finance” section, court debts in the “Safety and Law and Order” section.

I will not provide instructions for searching for debts on the government services website, since everything there is quite simple and clear. If you still have questions, ask them in the comments.

The main advantage of the two above sites is that the check is absolutely free. The main disadvantage is that the information may be out of date, and the delay in updating data can be up to two weeks. That is, it is quite possible that the database on the FSPP website will show the absence of enforcement proceedings, but at the border they will tell you the opposite. And prove to the border guards that “I am not me and the fur coat is not mine.”

Service Nevylet.rf

The Nevylet.rf service was created for the same purpose. You will be able to assess the possibility of traveling abroad with debts and check the presence of debt by:

• Credits.
• Taxes (transport, land, property, etc.).
• Bailiffs.
• Alimony.
• Traffic police
• Administrative fines.

But unlike federal websites, the service presents current data at the time of the request. As they say, you have to pay for relevance, so checking on the site is paid. All details are in the link or click on the widget below.

I would especially like to note that the personal information you provide when filling out the form is not transferred to third parties.
