Prohibition of entry - why did this happen?

The ban on entry is a mandatory response of state bodies to numerous offenses of a foreign citizen.

The ban on entry is recorded in the base of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so a foreign citizen may not even suspect his existence until he decides to cross the border.

So for what offenses can a foreigner be so severely punished?

Basically, this type of punishment is applied in case of non-observance of the terms of stay, labor activity and with repeated involvement in administrative offenses. The entry ban is a temporary measure. The period for which it can be issued directly depends on the gravity of the offense, the maximum period is 10 years.

The most common reasons for banning include the following:

1. Non-observance of terms of stay.
   This is perhaps the most common reason for banning.
   Recall: a foreign citizen is allowed to stay in Russia for 90 days according to migration registration, if he has not issued permits for further stay on the territory of the Russian Federation (patent, work permit or RVP), after which he needs to go home for 3 months.
2. Illegal employment.
   If a foreign worker is caught at work without a patent or at work with gross violations (work in the wrong region or in the profession specified in the patent), then he will necessarily face the annulment of all permits, deportation and a ban on entry.
3. Repeated administrative prosecution.
   These offenses include:
   • Petty hooliganism;
   • Registration for fictitious migration registration;
   • Violation of traffic rules.
