Why can't they let me go abroad? One step away from being banned from leaving: with what debts will they not be allowed to go abroad? Debtors are not allowed to go abroad.

From 2018, bailiff offices may appear at border checkpoints throughout Russia, where you can quickly pay off your debts and obtain permission to travel abroad. The proposal has already been submitted to the State Duma, the fate of the document is still unknown. In the meantime, debtors often find out about the ban imposed on them due to debts only at the airport, already having a paid tour and air tickets in hand. This HotLine.travel article contains useful information about who is at risk of being blacklisted and how to act in such situations. Advice was given by lawyers and travelers themselves, who have already gone through all the hardships.

How to get on “black lists”

A typical reason why tourists are temporarily banned from traveling is failure to pay mandatory taxes and fees, fines, including those imposed by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, alimony, housing and communal services, as well as late payments on bank loans.

Sometimes sanctions apply to completely law-abiding citizens. For example, a person is registered in the living space of relatives, but lives separately. Suddenly it turns out that the apartment has accumulated a debt for utility bills and he, as a family member, is also due part of the payment. Claims are also made against loan guarantors if the borrower does not fulfill his obligations to the bank.

The procedure for imposing a temporary restriction on traveling abroad is as follows. The creditor - tax service, bank, management company, etc. - goes to court. Having considered the application, the judge issues a court order to collect a sum of money and sends it to the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP), where enforcement proceedings are initiated. In this case, the bailiff has the right to issue a resolution on a temporary ban on travel outside the Russian Federation, which must be sent to the debtor by mail or delivered in person. In parallel, the information is transmitted to the Border Service of the FSB of Russia. The debtor is entered into the border guards' database, and at passport control at the airport or other point he will not be given a stamp allowing him to leave the country.

Who should worry and who should calmly pack their bags?

The very fact of having outstanding debts does not mean an automatic ban on leaving the Russian Federation.

There is no reason to worry for those whose debt amount does not exceed 10 thousand rubles - the corresponding amendments to the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings”, according to which such citizens should not be stopped at the border, were signed by President Putin back in August 2013.

Opening of enforcement proceedings by the FSSP regarding debts over 10 thousand rubles. also does not lead to an obligatory restriction on traveling abroad. The decision is made by the bailiff who is in charge of the debtor’s case. There are cases when, even with obligations amounting to hundreds of thousands, a decree banning leaving the Russian Federation was not issued.

If the decree is issued, the debtor still has a chance to go on a trip for about two more weeks - during this time information from the FSSP is usually received by border guards.

Those in the most unenviable position are those who are not aware of the travel ban imposed on them, as well as those who have already paid off their debts, but still face problems when crossing the border due to the delay in the passage of data between regulatory agencies. Below are a few life hacks for such travelers that will help prevent trouble.

1. Bailiffs are required to send the debtor a resolution on a temporary restriction on his travel abroad, but in practice this does not always happen. Resolutions are not published on the FSSP website fssprus.ru, but if you are aware of accumulated debts, it would be useful to check on this resource whether enforcement proceedings have been initiated regarding them. If yes, there is a possibility that a restriction on travel has been established, and information about this has been transferred to the border service.

2. After repaying the debt, the bailiffs lift the travel ban within 10 days. It is possible to speed up the process to one day only if traveling abroad is necessary for medical reasons. In this case, you must provide the FSSP authority with a corresponding certificate from a doctor.

3. The final authority making the decision on release outside the Russian Federation is the Border Service of the FSB of Russia. Therefore, after the restriction on travel is lifted by the FSSP, it is necessary to make sure that the debtor is also excluded from the “black lists” of border guards. To do this, it is recommended to send a request to the website ps.fsb.ru. An official response, as a rule, arrives by email no earlier than 10–12 days later.

Important: border guards are guided by their own database. Therefore, presenting at checkpoints at airports, etc., receipts for payment of debts or a resolution of the FSSP on lifting the temporary restriction on travel will not help.

4. Those who don’t have time to wait for a response from the border service sometimes check their right to travel in the following way. They purchase an air ticket to any visa-free destination: either the cheapest one, or, on the contrary, the most expensive one, at a refundable fare with a minimal fine in case of cancellation of the flight. They only go through check-in for the flight and passport control, where they find out whether they belong to the “black list”. The idea may seem crazy, but some people do it.

5. Travelers who have paid off their debts, have a decree lifting the exit restriction, but were not released at the checkpoint due to inconsistency between the actions of the FSSP and border guards, are recommended to demand compensation for costs through the court. There are precedents for decisions in favor of the plaintiffs. As evidence, you need to provide not only a paid tour or air tickets, but also documents indicating a failed attempt to leave - boarding passes for a flight, a written refusal by the border service to allow you to leave the Russian Federation.

Let us add that on Internet forums there is a lot of advice for debtors on how to travel abroad through neighboring countries that do not have border control with the Russian Federation. We advise you to treat this method with caution, since the “loophole” will soon be closed. The Ministry of Justice drew attention to the existing gap in the legislation in July 2016, and an interstate agreement in this regard is being prepared. Therefore, the most reliable way to remain mobile is to try to make required payments on time and not act as a guarantor for dubious borrowers.

All residents of Russia are required to pay utility bills, fines, and other debt obligations on time. The presence of debt will not allow a citizen to travel abroad, since data on unpaid bills is contained in the customs service database.

The law on the ban on travel abroad in 2020 defines the grounds for refusal to cross the Russian state border.

The grounds for banning travel abroad are contained in Federal Law 114 “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation.” The legal document was developed and approved by State Duma deputies in 1996. A month after its adoption, it came into force. The latest changes to the official text of the bill were made in 2017.

According to the provisions of the current act, a resolution certified by the signature of a bailiff is the basis for not releasing a citizen from Russia. The legislation provides the following grounds for imposing restrictions:

• For at least 5 years, persons working with sensitive information and state secrets cannot travel abroad. Typically these conditions are specified in the employee's contract. The specified period may last longer;
• It is prohibited for citizens who are in military or alternative civil service due to conscription to leave the territory of Russia. The restriction is valid until the end of the service;
• persons subject to legal proceedings may not travel abroad until the trial is completed;
• citizens convicted of committing a crime or serving a prison sentence cannot travel abroad;
• when imposing an administrative penalty and evading its execution, it is prohibited to leave the country;
• if incorrect information is deliberately provided to the passport office, you cannot travel abroad;
• When a businessman goes bankrupt, restrictions are imposed.

Current legislation requires written notice to be sent to persons prohibited from traveling abroad. The message shall indicate the timing and reasons for imposing restrictions. When a ban is issued, the citizen’s international passport is transferred to the passport office, where it is stored until the required period has expired.

As for military personnel, they can go abroad only if they have the permission of the higher authorities registered as per the provisions of the law. Certain restrictions apply to residents under 18 years of age. They can leave Russia only if accompanied by one of the following persons:

• one of the parents;
• guardian;
• adoptive parent;
• trustee.

If a minor is forced to go abroad on his own, he must provide notarized consent from his parents or guardians. Guardianship authorities must receive information about all movements of persons under 18 years of age.

The bill provides information regarding all possible nuances of leaving the territory of Russia. We suggest downloading the law banning travel abroad using the following link.

Information about all persons in respect of whom regulatory authorities have made a decision to ban them from traveling abroad is contained in the border guards’ database. Restrictions are imposed on a resident of the country in the following cases:

• there are debts on taxes and fines;
• child support is overdue;
• payment of utility bills is delayed;
• loans have been issued that are not paid on time.

If a person has debts to pay for housing and communal services, this does not necessarily mean that he will not be allowed to leave Russia. To impose restrictions, the amount of debt must exceed 10 thousand rubles. If it is less, the authorities do not have the right to impose a ban on the movement of a citizen.

When a person receives a notification about the restrictions imposed on him, he can pay the existing debt within 14 days. After this period, information about the ban is transmitted to border guards.

Restrictions are not lifted immediately, but within 10 days after the amount of overdue payments is transferred. This period can be shortened if the citizen presents a doctor’s certificate confirming the fact that the trip is for medical reasons. If the ban is imposed due to a debt for utility services, it will not be enough to present a receipt for payment at the border. Restrictions are lifted only by authorized bodies.

Fines for late payments

All residents of the country who have arrears on certain payments are included in the “black list” of all border crossing points. Therefore, the debtor will not be able to leave the country until he repays his existing debts.

In addition, the law provides for another measure of influence on defaulters. If there is a debt for housing and utility payments, a citizen is obliged to pay 17.7% of the total amount to the budget annually.

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

The legislative document establishes that bailiffs must notify the resident of the imposition of a ban on him. The message is sent to the address where the person is registered. You can check the presence of the restriction yourself.

This service is provided on the official website of the bailiff service. In addition, information is available on the websites of the following organizations:

• the government services portal provides information on tax arrears, fines and outstanding payments under court decisions;
• The tax service website contains data on debts, which requires a taxpayer identification number to access;
• On the official website of the Central Bank you can clarify information about debts to banks.

How to lift a ban on traveling abroad

Today, a ban on leaving Russian territory is one of the most effective measures to combat debt.

A citizen will not be able to go abroad if administrative proceedings have been initiated against him, which is associated with the presence of various types of debts. Those who do not pay their obligations on time are also included in the “black list”.

To be able to travel abroad again, a person will first need to pay off his existing debt. Bills must be paid to the organization that filed the claim.

After the official department makes a decision to impose restrictions, the citizen will have 2 weeks to pay all debts. It should be remembered that this period is calculated from the moment the resolution was adopted, and not from the day the person received it.

Bailiffs have the power to overturn a decision. They lift restrictions when the debtor presents a document confirming the repayment of all overdue payments. The procedure occurs in several stages:

• existing debts are repaid;
• funds are transferred to public utilities (or other organizations), which is reported to the bailiffs;
• a department specialist draws up a resolution and sends it to the border service;
• The data obtained makes it possible to lift the travel ban.

Modern equipment makes it possible to reduce the time it takes to transfer information, but before going abroad you should make sure that the information has been received and that restrictions have been lifted.

In some cases, the decision to ban can be challenged. The law provides for a similar procedure if the resolution was drawn up with errors. This can happen when the bailiff wrote out the grounds for the ban, but within the same period the debtor has already paid off the overdue payments. You can also challenge a decision about which the citizen was not notified.

The legislation defines situations in which a person will not be able to leave the country. If there are arrears on debt obligations, the citizen will not be able to travel abroad until the debts are repaid.

I was going abroad on vacation with a close friend. But my friend told me that people with loan debts are not allowed to travel abroad. Is it really? Let's figure it out together. After reading this article, you will get answers to the following questions:

• In what cases may they not be allowed to go abroad?
• Visas and loans;
• How to check for debts?

If the country for departure is visa-free, getting into it is quite simple. However, there are two situations in which they will not be allowed even into these countries:

1. There are delays.
2. Enforcement proceedings on loans have been opened.

Restrictions on travel to another country can only be established by a bailiff. The reason for this is:

• A special executive document that was issued in court;
• Executive document or judicial act.

The judge in this case is guided by Art. 67 Federal Law No. 229 of October 2, 2009!

Restrictions on travel for loan debts are always temporary. The ban is in effect for six months. After six months, such a restriction is canceled. But only on condition that the person has repaid the debt. If the debt is not repaid, the official ban order is reinstated.

Loans and visa countries

The possibility of obtaining a visa also directly depends on the state of a person’s credit history. The situation with obtaining a visa is complicated by the fact that a traveler may not be released not only if he has debts, but also with a serious credit load. This situation can only be alleviated by early repayment of at least one of the loans.

Among the states that pay attention to the credit burden are:

• France;
• Lithuania;
• Italy;
• Hungary;
• Germany.

If a person is going to neighboring countries with a serious credit load, he can only be given a short-term visa. But if there are delays or open enforcement proceedings, even the issuance of such a visa will be denied.

A person usually encounters the fact of refusal when going through customs inspection. The inspection is carried out by Border Guard officers. At each such border point there are special lists of debtors who are prohibited from traveling abroad.

It was said above that debtors will not be able to travel to another state. But this is a rather vague concept. More precisely, a ban is issued in one of the following cases:

• The court decided to restrict travel;
• The presence of delays, with the exception of delays or installment plans approved by the court;
• Debt not covered after a court order;
• The presence of an outstanding debt, the amount of which exceeds 30 thousand.

What can you do?

If a person is faced with such restrictions, he must pay off the debt as quickly as possible. After this, the bailiffs need to provide a receipt confirming this fact. After this, the cancellation procedure starts. It lasts on average from two weeks to one month.

This is a fairly long period, so when traveling abroad it is worth conducting an independent check and resolving all issues with discovered debts.

Speaking about the travel ban, it is worth noting that this may not necessarily be debt on loans. Limitations are often set for the following items:

• Non-payment of taxes and fees - property, land, transport and personal income tax;
• Child support debts – for children, for disabled parents;
• Debt for utilities;
• Non-payment of administrative fines - customs, traffic police, labor inspectorate;
• Debts to individuals awarded through court.

As soon as the bailiffs receive the payment receipt, they send a special request to the border service. There, all restrictions are lifted, which is reported to the debtor.

It is clear that as soon as a person fully repays the debt, penalties and fines, the travel ban for him will be lifted automatically. But what to do if you don’t have the required amount at your disposal? Here you can proceed according to one of the following schemes:

1. Debt refinancing. You need to contact the lender to change the terms of the agreement. This could be an increase in the loan term or the provision of special loan holidays. If the financial organization cooperates, the status of the debtor will change. Accordingly, the person will no longer be listed as a debtor.
2. Apply for a new consumer loan. Using the funds received, you can pay off your old debt. This is a special form of self-refinancing. Even if only by getting a new loan, you can get rid of problems.
3. You can intercept money from loved ones or work colleagues.
4. Applying for a credit card. This product is much easier to obtain; the issue of debt repayment can be resolved very quickly.

If the trip is important, you can take out an additional loan. The main thing is to adequately assess your capabilities and weigh everything carefully.

Unofficial methods of departure

These methods are strongly not recommended. But they can be used if the situation requires urgent departure for one reason or another. You can leave the country with debts in the following ways:

1. Go immediately after the decision on the ban is made. In this case, the person has a few more days while the ban is formalized in the general database.
2. Through Belarus.

When performing these manipulations, you must always remember the possible consequences. The best course of action is a competent approach to such serious travel. Before purchasing vouchers and tickets, you should check yourself for fines. This can be done in different ways.

To find out if there are any travel bans, you can use one of the options below.

Credit Bureau

From this organization you can obtain a report that will indicate the current state of the borrower’s financial situation. This option is considered ideal if a person pays debts without delays or delays, but the bank itself writes off payments later.

If the BKI received false information regarding overdue payments, you will need to contact the organization’s employees and provide evidence of timely transfer. If you provide this evidence, the corresponding marks will be immediately entered into your credit history. Such evidence may include:

• Copies of payment documents;
• Extracts from the BKI.

These certificates are attached to a well-written application. Papers are reviewed within 10 days. If after this the BKI employees refuse to make changes, you can file a complaint with Rospotrebnadzor.

FSSP website

To check your debts and possible prohibitions, you need to follow these simple steps:

1. Go to the FSSP website.
2. Enter your full name and city of residence in the form.

If information is brought to your attention regarding open proceedings or outstanding fines and taxes, it can be assumed that travel abroad will be prohibited. The opportunity to travel will open only after information about debts is removed from the general information base. And this takes some time.

Quite often a person discovers that he has frivolous debts of 100-200 rubles. They cannot become a basis for a ban, but it’s not worth the risk. It is advisable to pay your debts without delay and calmly go on your planned trip. To speed up the process of resolving the issue in this case, BKI employees or bailiffs should provide copies of tickets and an agreement with the travel agency.

Summing up

1. Before leaving, be sure to check whether you have any debts.
2. You can check it on special Internet portals and in the BKI.
3. A travel ban can be imposed not only for debts on loans, for non-payment of alimony, fines and debts.
4. If you have debts, you need to quickly pay them and provide receipts to the bailiffs to quickly lift the ban.

Many Russian citizens spend their holidays abroad. At the same time, they are advised to know what problems they may encounter if they have internal debts. Such people are classified as not allowed to travel abroad, since they are subject to this executive measure being applied by the service in 2020.

It is worth noting that for Russians who visit foreign countries infrequently, this news may come as a surprise. Today, before going on a trip, tourists and people who want to get a job need not only to open a visa and undergo a medical examination, but also.

This category of citizens will be allowed to travel abroad only when all debts are repaid. In addition, the amount of debt also matters: if it does not reach 30,000 rubles, then violators will not be considered banned from traveling abroad in 2020.

The list of debts, in the presence of which a ban is imposed on citizens from crossing the border to visit another state, is determined by Russian legislation. These are unpaid alimony, tax obligations, penalties, unpaid utilities and outstanding loans.

If debt settlements were not made on time due to certain circumstances, which was previously announced, then this issue will be considered. As a result, a decision may be made to lift travel restrictions. Situations in 2020 are considered on an individual basis.

Alimony debtors are allowed to leave only if the amount of debt does not exceed 10,000 rubles

The decision to recognize a potential person prohibited from traveling abroad is made after a trial and without it. A ban can be imposed during a check of the list on the FSPP website by customs officers or border guards. Thus, the restriction is temporary and applies in the event of an offense.

If it has been corrected: the fine has been paid, the assigned amount of work has been completed, then to lift the ban, it is enough to confirm these facts with the appropriate document, submitting it to the body that made the claim. If the problem is ignored, the case is sent to court.

You can check the presence of all debts on the service

What to expect from bailiffs

If information about an existing debt is submitted to the court and then to the bailiffs, then the issue will not only be about a ban on traveling abroad, but about the repayment of debt obligations to the state.

Especially when it comes to taxes. The violator can repay the debts within five days on a voluntary basis. This fact will be recorded officially. Before this, the defaulter will receive a notice by mail.

If the chance is not used, the debt will be forcibly collected from the violator. Measures are taken depending on the situation: property may be seized and subsequently sold, or the amount of debt by court decision may be withheld from wages.

Limits on the amount owed

It is worth keeping in mind that according to the law of the Russian Federation, there is no official data regarding the amount of debt, which would be a criterion for introducing restrictions for a ban on traveling abroad. According to the rules of the law, any amount of debt can be considered grounds for declaring a citizen prohibited from leaving the country.

In practice, things in this regard are somewhat different: the decision in this situation depends, as it were, on the bailiff or. In 2020 It is customary to recognize the amount of debt as valid only if it exceeds 30,000 rubles. It is worth noting that this rule is not official, but is successfully applied.

Debtors are allowed to travel abroad 2 weeks after paying the debt

The period for which a ban on traveling abroad is imposed is not provided for by law, however, this period should not exceed 6 months.

The procedure for introducing a ban on leaving Russia

After the court issues a decision banning travel outside the country, the bailiff will be required to notify the debtor about this and send the decision to the Main Directorate for Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and border control authorities. It is in these instances that lists of those “restricted from traveling” are compiled.

If the violator did not have time to issue a foreign passport, the migration department imposes a ban on issuing it to the debtor. If a citizen has a foreign passport, then the document cannot be confiscated.

If the violator has not yet issued a foreign passport, the migration service imposes a ban on its issuance.

Any attempts to evade receiving notice of the ban will be strictly suppressed. A paper with a decision not to leave can be given to the debtor anywhere, even at the airport when going through customs control.

To prevent this from happening and you don’t just spend a lot of money on a tour or tickets, check the restrictions in advance.

Clarification of the amount of debt

Before traveling abroad, it is imperative to check whether the citizen planning to cross the border is included in the list of tax debtors.

If the Russian himself knows that he has unpaid obligations, then he is recommended to pay off the debt a month before the departure date.

It is possible to obtain reliable tax data on the official website of the Federal Tax Service. You can't do without registration here. However, it is not easy to do.

A citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to freely leave the territorial borders of the country for the purpose of recreation or business meetings, provided that they have the appropriate documents. In 2020, state legislation established restrictions on traveling abroad. The basis for a ban on traveling abroad is financial debts for payment of utilities, fines, alimony, customs duties, and credit loans from banking organizations.

Normative base

In accordance with Art. 2 of the Federal Law “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation of August 15, 1996 No. 114-FZ, a citizen of the country has the right to unhindered travel outside the state with a foreign identification document. Article 15 No. 114-FZ outlines temporary restrictions that in 2020 apply to a certain category of the population:

• the citizen has access to classified information;
• an individual has entered into an employment contract, the condition of which is a ban on traveling abroad;
• person liable for military service;
• accused of an illegal act before sentencing;
• convicted of a crime serving a prison sentence in a prison;
• the citizen evades the duties assigned by the court;
• an individual provided false information when preparing documents.

Types of debts

In 2020, a citizen of the Russian Federation will not be able to leave the territory of the country if there are financial charges that have not been paid on time:

• alimony for the maintenance of the child/children;
• tax obligations;
• contribution on a mortgage, credit loan in a banking organization;
• payments for the provision of utility services;
• compensation for damage to health;
• property penalties;
• administrative fines.

Debt to government organizations and private individuals is the basis for a temporary restriction in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 67 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” dated October 2, 2007 No. 229 - FZ in the official order established by the court at the request of the plaintiff or on the bailiff’s own initiative, if the citizen does not attempt to pay the specified amount. If an individual entrepreneur has unclosed financial obligations to the Federal Tax Service, the institution has the right to decide to collect funds without the permission of executive authorities.

Who can impose a travel ban in 2020?

If there is a financial debt to an individual for failure to pay alimony, moral compensation, or property penalties, only a court can restrict departure. If a citizen has obligations to government organizations or administrative offenses, then the institutions petition for the independent issuance of a writ of execution.

1. State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
2. Customs Service.
3. Border authorities, FSB.
4. Police.
5. The Federal Tax Service.
6. Labour Inspectorate.
7. Banking organization.

After 3 days from the date of receipt of the petition, by decision of the court, the bailiff issues a resolution to restrict crossing the state border in 2020 without the personal presence of an individual in accordance with paragraph 8 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” dated October 2, 2007 No. 229 - Federal Law.

The process of imposing a ban on leaving the country

At the request of a private individual or government organization, a court hearing is scheduled, at which a writ of execution is issued - an order for the mandatory payment of financial resources. In 2020, a decision can be made without the presence of the defendant. After the verdict is passed, a writ of execution is prepared, which is transferred to the Federal Bailiff Service for reporting to the debtor. The document indicates the amount of money, details of an individual or government agency, the deadline for voluntary payment of the debt, which, in accordance with clause 12 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” dated October 2, 2007 No. 229 - Federal Law is 5 days from the date of receipt of the resolution by the claimant.

IMPORTANT

If, after the specified time, the amount is not deposited into the plaintiff’s account, the bailiff in 2020 will impose a ban on leaving the country for debts. The approved resolution is sent to the defendant, the Federal Migration Service, and border authorities, who enter the citizen into the “black list” of a special database.

For how long is the ban imposed?

In accordance with clause 2.3 of the document “On the procedure for temporary restrictions on the debtor’s departure from the Russian Federation” dated January 29, 2008. No. 12/01–830–НВ, developed on the basis of Art. 67 of the Federal Law “On Enforcement Proceedings” dated July 26, 2017 No. 190 - Federal Law, the bailiff can make a decision on the debtor’s inability to leave the territorial borders of the country for debts for 6 months

If the debtor pays a sum of money in 2020 earlier than the established maximum period, the ban is automatically lifted. If the defendant does not comply with the terms of the court decision within six months, the Federal Bailiff Service re-issues a decision to restrict travel abroad.

How to check the ban on traveling for debt in 2020?

Before planning a trip or business trip outside of Russia, it is recommended to make sure that there are no financial debts. In 2020, there are several ways to obtain information about personal financial difficulties.

1. Register of the Federal Bailiff Service.
2. Official website of the Federal Tax Service.
3. Traffic police.
4. Banking organizations.

The FSSP electronic register allows you to find out information about debts at home. On the page of the official portal, you must enter personal data (full name, date of birth) to view current executive documents that have not yet expired. The website allows you to get acquainted in real time with the procedure for repaying unpaid bills.

The electronic page of the Federal Tax Service provides access to personal information after registration, which only involves entering the TIN number. In the personal account, after indicating the missing data about the owner, which is processed by the site for a short amount of time, information about debts on fees and mandatory contributions is reflected.

To clarify information on unpaid fines and receipts for administrative offenses, you must contact the traffic police. At the moment, the procedure for obtaining data has been simplified: on the official portal of “Public Services”, a citizen of the Russian Federation, after pre-registration, receiving a personal code at the post office, through a telecom operator, can find out about personal debts.

How to get rid of a travel ban for debt?

The temporary restriction on the right to visit foreign countries for debts in 2020 can only be lifted by repaying the monetary debt to a private individual, department, or organization. You can use several methods to pay:

• personal account in Internet banking;
• electronic payment systems: Qiwi, Webmoney, Yandex Money, etc.;
• mobile application of the Federal Bailiff Service;
• bank branch, terminal.

A receipt of payment must be submitted to the FSSP to remove the restriction. No more than 21 days are allotted for consideration of the case on enforcement proceedings for permission to leave. After confirming that the debt has been repaid, the bailiff sends a corresponding notification to the Federal Migration Service and border authorities.

When will the travel ban be lifted?

The temporary restriction is valid until the financial debt is repaid. After payment of funds, documents confirming this fact are transferred to the bailiff to close the claimant’s case. Notifications are sent to government organizations that control the departure of citizens outside the Russian Federation. The period for receiving documents by the Federal Migration Service and the FSB is at least 2-3 weeks. Thus, in order to leave the country in 2020, the defendant must wait for a confirmation notification from the FSSP.

Is it possible to travel abroad with debts in 2020?

A temporary restriction is a ban on crossing the state border for debts issued by executive authorities. Violation of a court decision is subject to administrative and criminal liability. But in 2020, there are exceptions to the rules established by law.

1. A valid reason for leaving is illness, death of a close relative, inheritance, urgent treatment.
2. The time interval between the issuance of a new decision on a restriction on crossing the territory of a state.
3. Crossing the borders of friendly countries.

A serious reason related to the health of the claimant himself or his close relative, or the resolution of important legal issues, may be a reason to travel abroad in 2020 if there is an unpaid bill. The decision to lift the restriction is made by the senior bailiff at his own discretion, subject to the availability of appropriate documentary evidence.

The duration of the temporary ban should not exceed 6 months from the date of sentencing. If the debtor has not paid, a new document is issued. It takes 7 to 14 days to issue a repeat writ of execution. During this period, the claimant can freely cross the state border of the Russian Federation.
