How to make sure that you are not on the “black list” of debtors, and what to do if you do end up on it? Here are brief instructions for those who do not want to be left without a foreign holiday after learning about their debts right at the airport.

If you have an unpaid fine or loan, this does not mean that you will not be allowed to leave Russia. As lawyer Dmitry Shilov explained to us.

Are you traveling abroad: checking restrictions on traveling abroad

And not knowing that you have been banned from leaving and being dumbfounded about it at the border, if you are at least a more or less respectable citizen, is very unlikely.

The fact is that the restriction on travel is established not simply because you have an unpaid fine or other debts. A travel restriction can be imposed on you only for failure to fulfill obligations imposed by the court.

Debts before going abroad

And at the same time, no one will compensate you for all this loss, both material and moral.

If you don’t want to find yourself in such a situation, then check your debts before flying abroad. How to do this, I will try to tell you a solution to this problem. But let's go back a little. If you think that paying off your debts before departure and having receipts in hand will be enough for you, then you are deeply mistaken.

How do they check debtors at the airport?

In order for a person to be included in the “black” list of those not allowed to travel abroad, a special order of the bailiffs must be issued in his case. After this, a debt resolution is sent to the defaulter by mail, and if the person does not respond, his personal data goes to the border guards.

Not everyone lives at the place of registration, letters do not always reach the addressee. If you think that you may have debts, it is better to check your debts in your personal account on the tax police website (service.

How to check your debts before traveling abroad

The bailiffs must be informed about the payment of the debt, and they will submit a corresponding order to the customs office. In total, this process will take 2-3 weeks.

The most convenient thing is to use the website “Portal of Public Services of the City of Moscow”. where, in theory, all your fines and payments should be stored (including illegal parking, speeding fines, and others). There, by the way, you can immediately pay all debts and fines.

About countries, peoples, trips, events

As part of the promotion, anyone will be able to quickly receive information directly at Vnukovo Airport about the existence of a debt and how to repay it, as well as about a possible ban on the right to travel abroad and the sequence of actions to cancel it. If desired, the passenger will be given a receipt to pay the amount of the resulting debt. Tax officers and bailiffs will be available for questions from 10:00 to 17:00 in the departure hall of Terminal A of Vnukovo Airport.

Pulkovo passengers will be able to find out about their debts right at the airport

The passenger will be able to clarify whether he has unpaid debts on traffic police fines, alimony payments, taxes, loan payments, and housing and communal services. Small payments can be paid on the spot.

Let us remind you that the presence of a debt exceeding 10,000 rubles that has not been repaid in a timely manner may cause a temporary restriction on the debtor’s departure from the Russian Federation. You can also find out about the existence of enforcement proceedings against a citizen or legal entity using the information service “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings” on the official website of the FSSP of Russia at http://fssprus.

MOSCOW, December 29. /TASS/. From December 29 to January 9, 2018, bailiffs will be on duty at all major international airports, including in the Moscow region, to help Russians with debts quickly pay them off before flying abroad.

"From December 29, 2017 to January 9, 2018, bailiffs will be on duty in the buildings of major international airports. In case of difficulties with flying abroad due to debts, the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP) of Russia will provide citizens with the opportunity to obtain the necessary consultation with using the “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings” service directly at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation,” the press service of the FSSP of the Russian Federation reported.

Where to contact

Bailiffs recommend that citizens who have planned foreign trips immediately contact the electronic service “Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings” on the website of the Federal Bailiff Service of Russia and check whether they have a debt. In addition, you can find out about the presence of debt through the FSSP application for mobile devices.

Using the service "Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings" on the official website of the FSSP of Russia, you can also print out a receipt for payment and pay the debt directly at the bank. Also, on holidays, a hotline will operate in each territorial authority and in the central office of the FSSP of Russia.

Now the temporary restriction on travel is lifted by the bailiff within 24 hours after information about debt payment is reflected in the State Information System on State and Municipal Payments. To cancel the restriction on the right to leave Russia, the debtor must pay in full the debts under enforcement proceedings and submit a payment document confirming the repayment of debts to the bailiff on duty. “A citizen is included in the list of those not allowed to travel abroad if the amount of his debt exceeds 30 thousand rubles. However, for a certain category of debtors, more stringent restrictions apply: for example, if the amount of debt exceeds 10 thousand rubles for claims for payment of alimony, compensation for harm to health and in connection with loss of a breadwinner, property damage and moral harm caused by the crime,” the FSSP recalled.

Number of people not allowed to travel

According to the FSSP, today there are 1.7 million debtors in Russia who are not allowed to travel abroad. As a result of the application of this measure, over the 11 months of 2017, in the framework of 1.2 million enforcement proceedings, debtors fully or partially fulfilled obligations under enforcement proceedings in the amount of 56.1 billion rubles.

As the press service of the Federal Bailiff Service for Moscow told TASS, the capital's bailiffs will help debtors resolve issues with restrictions on the right to travel abroad directly in the buildings of the Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo and Vnukovo international airports.

Bailiffs of the Moscow region will also be on duty at Domodedovo, Sheremetyevo and Zhukovsky airports.

Efficiency of duty

From December 28, 2016 to January 8, 2017, more than two thousand FSSP employees were on duty in the buildings of international airports and other large ground checkpoints.

As of last New Year, 1.1 million debtors were restricted from traveling abroad. The duty of the bailiffs made it possible to quickly lift restrictions for 304 people. On average, the temporary restriction was lifted on an emergency basis from 20-30 people per day. However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to remove the restriction if payment is made a few hours before departure.

It's the holiday season and many Russians are going on vacation abroad. But, alas, not everyone will be able to reach their destination. After all, several million residents of our country for different reasons a ban on leaving the country has been imposed. And the situation from the video of the Leningrad group “Ecstasy”, when a person is not allowed on a plane because of a debt of 20 thousand rubles, is not uncommon.

Below you will find out how to find out about your debts before buying a ticket, in what cases you can travel abroad with debts, and whether the scheme works with the Republic of Belarus.

Who is not allowed to leave Russia?

According to Article 15 of the Federal law N 114-FZ “On the procedure for leaving the Russian Federation and entering the Russian Federation” you cannot leave the Russian Federation:

1. People who had access to state secrets (only 1st and 2nd form of access, 3rd is possible). Typically, the ban period (specified in the employment contract) is five years after the last acquaintance with classified information. In special cases, the period may be extended.
2. Persons undergoing conscript military service or alternative civilian service;
3. Suspects and accused of crimes;
4. Convicted of committing a crime before serving (the sentence) or being released from it;
5. Persons who have not fulfilled any obligations before the court;
6. Those who knowingly provided false information about themselves when preparing exit documents. The ban is valid until new documents are issued;
7. FSB employees;
8. Bankrupt.

Now let's talk more about the fifth point. Firstly, he may concern people on whom the court has imposed non-property obligations. Examples: publicly apologize to the person you offended, move out of your ex-husband’s apartment, remove other people’s photos from your website, paint over an obscene inscription on a fence.

Secondly, people who owe someone more than 10 thousand rubles. Perhaps in December 2017, the threshold for the minimum “travel ban” will be raised to 30 thousand rubles.

But having debts or other obligations does not guarantee that a person will be deployed at the border. For this you need exactly travel ban.

According to the FSSP, in June 2017, 1.6 million Russians were subject to a travel ban, and this number is growing, because six months ago there were only a million. There are many more debtors. At the end of 2016, the FSSP database included 79 million“executive proceedings in progress” (there may be several of them per person).

How to check your debts?

Go to official website of the FSSP, indicate in the form your full name, date of birth and region of registration. Some debts can be paid directly on the website.

But it’s better to pay your debts before they reach the bailiffs. After all, if you do not meet the deadline for voluntary execution of the court order (no more than five days from the date of receipt of the writ of execution), you will have to pay an enforcement fee in the amount of 7% of the debt amount (at least 1000 rubles) + a penalty for each day of delay 1/ 300 of the amount owed.

Debts to the tax office, pension fund, housing and communal services providers, as well as alimony debts and fines can be found out in your personal account on the gosuslugi.ru portal before they get into the database of the bailiffs. You can pay them online.

You can find out complete information about your loans for free once a year. To do this, you need to submit an application to the Credit History Bureau. Here contacts for different regions.

How to check whether a travel ban has been imposed?

When a travel ban is imposed, the debtor receives a notification about this, but sometimes it can be lost by coincidence. There is no open database in which one could find out whether a person is prohibited from traveling abroad.

There is an option to take your passport and bring this question to the bailiff who is responsible for your enforcement proceedings. If you are ready to voluntarily pay the debt immediately or want to agree with the bailiff on installments over several months, then this option is suitable for you.

But if you don’t want to pay or can’t pay yet, then it’s better not to remind yourself once again. After all, it may be that the travel ban has not yet been imposed, since The bailiffs are hellishly overworked. But after you contact the FSSP, out of harm’s way, they may quickly write a letter to the Border Service to encourage you to pay off the debt. Some people have already found themselves in such situations.

If you are sociable, and the bailiff is understanding, then you can persuade him not to impose a ban during your vacation. But if the ban has already been imposed, then you will have to pay the debt in full at once.

What to do if you have debts, but there is no travel ban yet?

You can take a risk and go. There is a chance that everything will be fine. Especially if you agree in advance with the bailiff on the timing of debt repayment. But it is worth remembering that a travel ban may be imposed at any time and you can lose money spent on travel.

Is it possible to pay a debt at the airport?

You can pay anywhere, but you will be able to leave only after the ban on leaving the Border Guard base is removed. This process usually takes one to two weeks, but there have been cases where it was extended by a month or more due to technical problems.

After paying the debt, you must inform your bailiff about it. so that he lifts the travel ban. This will speed up the process.

Perhaps next year, bailiffs' offices will appear at border control points, where it will be possible to lift the travel ban immediately after paying the debt.

Do the schemes with departure from the states of the customs union work?

For many years, debtors flew abroad through the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan. The most popular route is by plane to Minsk and from there to another country.

Residents of the Asian part of Russia bought tickets for a transit train (the passports of transit passengers are not checked for debts) through Kazakhstan, but got off not in the Russian city to which they bought the ticket, but in the Kazakh one.

Now there are difficulties with this, since border guards are actively working to unite the databases of debtors of the customs union states.

In June 2017 at the driver was removed for loan debt.

Some Schengen visa holders used the scheme: buy a train ticket to Kaliningrad -> at Russian customs present the UP Railway (a document that allows the passenger to travel in transit through the territory of another country without a visa) -> present a Schengen visa at Lithuanian customs and get off in Vilnius, instead Kaliningrad. No news about the unsuccessful completion of this scheme has yet been found.

But the site is not responsible for its use. Before using it, find someone who has used it in the last month or two.

What to do if there is a travel ban, but you want to go on vacation?

Travel around Russia. The debtor can move freely within the country. If you fly by plane to a Russian city, you only go through pre-flight inspection without border control and your passport is not checked against the FSSP database. The situation is similar when boarding a train or intercity bus.
