Many citizens of the Russian state, for one reason or another, find themselves locked inside the country. Most Russians do not even suspect that a strict ban has been imposed on them visiting “abroad”.
To avoid troubles when going through passport control, travelers are advised to check in advance the possibility of traveling abroad on the website nevylet.rf. This can be done online by filling out the form provided by this service.
Who may be prohibited from traveling abroad?
The ban on traveling abroad is not “born” out of nowhere. Russian legislation allows restrictions on foreign travel to be imposed on any citizen who evades fulfilling his obligations.
Most often, a ban on traveling abroad is relevant for debtors. A person may be in debt to both an individual or legal entity and the state.
Restriction of travel due to debts
A ban on traveling abroad may be imposed for:
- Debts for housing and communal services.
- Child support debts.
- Loan debts.
- Unpaid fines.
- Tax debt.
It is important to take into account that the restriction on visiting foreign countries is not imposed on all debtors, but only on those with a debt amount exceeding 30,000 rubles. The corresponding decision is made by the court.
In accordance with existing legislation, the defendant has the right to pay the debt during the consideration of his case. A person can also pay debts when enforcement proceedings are ongoing.
Ban on children traveling with one of their parents
Russian legislation has established special rules for traveling abroad with children under eighteen years of age. If a minor goes on a trip abroad with his father or mother, there is no need to obtain permission from the parent staying at home.
But the second parent has the right to prohibit taking the child abroad. He can do this by submitting a corresponding application to the border service or the Federal Migration Service. To avoid misunderstandings, it is recommended to issue the permit in a timely manner and have it certified by a notary.
If the parents of a minor are divorced, they need to contact a notary agency together. The required document will be issued in the personal presence of the father and mother of the minor.
Sample document
If a child is raised only by his mother or father, and the other parent is in hiding, but is not deprived of parental rights, a foreign rendezvous is not possible.
Information for security forces and civil servants
In 2021, the ban on traveling abroad for law enforcement officers is relevant. The same applies to employees of executive authorities. The ban is formulated relatively mildly. Today it takes the form of a recommendation.
The main reason for recommending against visiting certain foreign countries is most often given to ensure the safety of Russians.
Important circumstances
To issue a ban on traveling abroad due to debts in 2021, the following circumstances must be met:
- initiation of enforcement proceedings;
- issuance of a writ of execution;
- presence of a large unpaid amount (more than 30 thousand rubles);
The corresponding document must be provided to the person no later than 36 months from the date of the court decision. The resolution is also sent to employees of the Main Directorate for Migration of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.
In practice, a decision may be made, but the person may not be notified, so we recommend checking the ban on the possibility of leaving on the website nevylet.rf, where you can find out all the information in 1 minute, or on the bailiffs website fssprus.ru.
What deadlines exist?
Despite the fact that the restriction should be lifted immediately after the violation is eliminated, practice shows that this process can take up to several weeks. Consists of four stages:
- The paid funds are credited to the bailiff service.
- Enforcement proceedings are closed.
- Information about the lifting of the ban is sent to the customs authority.
- Border guards remove data about the violator from the database.
The ban on leaving the country will be lifted when the violator is removed from the customs control register. Checking on the official websites of the relevant services, as well as when visiting them in person, is free.
The debtor is considered to have been notified of the existence of a debt, regardless of whether he received the notification or not. Therefore, it would be correct to regularly check the mail at the place of permanent registration or periodically to check for violations in the bailiffs’ database.
Debt check
Before any foreign rendezvous, the traveler undertakes to check the existence of debt. There are many ways to check for debt. Today you can do this without leaving your home, online.
Checking using the Internet will not take much time.
Official websites where you can check for free debts and travel bans
You can check whether there is a ban on traveling abroad without leaving your home and without wasting time on telephone conversations. To check existing restrictions, a Russian may only need some documents identifying his identity.
You can check debts and travel bans yourself, but you will have to register on official websites and fill out your details correctly.
First of all, a Russian must check whether he is a debtor in accordance with a court decision.
You can check and see if debtors are blacklisted in 2021 on the following sites:
- fssprus.ru – website of the FSSP (website of the Federal Bailiff Service);
- gosuslugi.ru – State Services website.
- nalog.ru – website of the Federal Tax Service (website of the Federal Tax Service);
- gibdd.rf – traffic police website.
You can find out all your debts at once without registering on multiple sites on the specialized website nevylet.rf. To do this, fill out this form and get the result within a few minutes. The service is paid - 299 rubles.
Receiving Notification
Bailiffs must notify the traveler that he has an outstanding debt. This scheme, relevant at a time when there was no Internet even abroad, is failing today. The fact is that citizens are notified by regular mail. If a Russian does not live at the specified address, he is not exempt from liability.
Also often, unfortunately, the decision can come retroactively a couple of months after it was made. Therefore, it is better to check everything yourself so as not to lose a large amount for a canceled trip.
Important! Non-departure insurance for debtors who are not released at the airport by border guards is not valid.
Notice of debts and legal collection procedure
To avoid trouble, it is recommended to check the debt yourself. You can check and pay the debt in a few clicks of the mouse, after which you need to notify the bailiffs about this.
Having received the notification, bailiffs transmit new information to border guards. On average, the verification process takes 14 days.
Check on the State Services website
Residents of the Russian capital can get all the latest information on the government services website gosuslugi.ru. This site should store all information regarding payments and fines. On the same site, a person can easily pay off existing debt.
The entire operation takes about 10 minutes. To check whether there is a debt to the state, a citizen must register and create a personal account.
In addition, information is stored on the website of state and municipal services. After registering, a Russian has the opportunity to access a variety of services. Thus, using the Internet, a person can clarify the presence of tax and penalty debts.
To carry out the verification, the Russian undertakes to enter his SNILS number in the appropriate column. You can also check the existence of debt to the state on the FSSP website.
To carry out verification, you need to enter your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
But this check will not provide accurate information, since the information may not have been entered there yet.
Checking debts using an online banking system
You can check the presence of debt to a financial organization of the Russian Federation using the Internet banking system. You can also make a phone call, which will take a little longer. Using the Internet, a person can clarify the state of his credit history.
This is relevant when the personal data of a Russian was used by third parties for personal gain.
To carry out the verification, the Russian must perform the following manipulations:
- Go to the Central Bank website cbr.ru.
- Find a catalog of loan stories.
- Send a request.
The bank sends a response within 10 business days. The response contains information about the credit bureau that stores the debtor's history.
Checking your credit history online
You can also come to the Central Bank office in person. You must have a civil passport with you. If a Russian travels infrequently and checks his credit history once every 12 months, there is no need to pay for the service.
But in addition to credit debts, there are others that may prevent you from traveling abroad. Therefore, you still need to check on other sites.
Checking utility debts on websites
A ban on traveling abroad is often imposed when a Russian has outstanding utility bills. Usually, Russians receive receipts every month indicating the amount of debt.
But if a person rarely appears at his place of registration, then you can find out your communal history by contacting the employees of an organization that provides housing and communal services.
You can also find out the latest information using the Internet.
In this regard, it is somewhat easier for Muscovites. They can get all the necessary information at:
- Moscow City Hall website mos.ru (use the search to find the “utility payments” section)
- the website of the Bank of Moscow (in the “Rent” section you can find out about the debt for an apartment);
- Mosenergosbyt resource (here you can get information about debts for electricity);
Checking debts online on the Mosenergosbyt website
- MGTS website (here you can find out information about telephone debt).
Information regarding restrictions can only be obtained after registration.
Learn about taxes and fees
First of all, a person must clarify information regarding fees and taxes. To do this, he needs to go to the nalog.ru resource and register. Every person who pays taxes has a personal account. After visiting the site, you will need to select your region and register as an individual.
Find out about tax debts online on the Federal Tax Service website
It is important to consider that debt from individuals is collected under two conditions:
- If a person has an unfulfilled obligation in the amount of 3 thousand rubles.
- Overdue demand for payment of debt (“sanctions” are imposed on the debtor when the three-year period expires).
Learn about taxes and administrative offenses
If the nalog.ru website does not report the presence of debts, then the next step of the traveler should be to check unpaid fines. To do this, the citizen will have to go to the website gosuslugi.ru.
This site has the following services:
- Checking traffic police fines (online you will need to configure the receipt of notifications about fines).
- Checking tax debt (you can find out your history after entering your TIN).
- Checking legal debt (you can find out your history by entering your full name and date of birth in the appropriate fields).
This resource is quite democratic. If a citizen is dissatisfied with the service provided, he can always file a complaint. This can also be done online.

Find out about other debts
Alimony recipients, as well as persons engaged in entrepreneurial activities, can obtain information regarding travel restrictions on the website fssprus.ru. Current information is contained in the “Information Systems” section.
By registering and filling out a request, you can not only find out your history, but also pay off your debts.
Thus, to be absolutely sure that you will be released, you need to go through registration and verification on many different sites. If you want to get everything quickly and find out in 2 minutes, then you can go to the website nevylet.rf (paid service, costs only 299 rubles), which will do all these procedures for you and quickly check your debts on all bases.
The border is open
According to the department, as of July 1, 3.9 million debtors were on the travel ban lists. Their total debt amounted to 1.6 trillion rubles. Of course, now movement around the world is limited, however, some borders are already open. And therefore, many citizens face an old question: how to quickly find out whether problems will arise at the border crossing?
For details, you need to go directly to the bailiff service. This year a law came into force that simplifies the procedure for citizens to communicate with bailiffs. You can request the necessary information, in particular, through the government services portal. The department has approved the relevant administrative regulations. You can take advantage of new opportunities now.
RG experts discuss the legal aspects of debt management in the “Legal Consultation” section
As Dmitry Aristov, director of the Federal Bailiff Service, recently announced, a full-format service has been launched on the government services portal. As part of the new service, citizens can receive all information about the progress of enforcement proceedings and any documents in their personal account starting from August 1.
“This is actually an electronic copy of the enforcement proceedings,” said the head of the department. — The reason for more than 50 percent of citizens’ appeals is lack of information. This is where we fully open information about enforcement proceedings, but taking into account, of course, certain restrictions on access and identification of citizens.”
Let us also remind you that a citizen can use the open database of enforcement proceedings on the website of the Federal Bailiff Service. The system will show whether enforcement proceedings have been initiated against the person, the amount of debt, and where to go. However, other details - what measures have been taken against the person, whether the red light at the border is turned on in front of him, etc. - not in an open system. In order to obtain additional data, you need to contact the bailiffs directly: either in person or through the government services portal.
As Dmitry Aristov said, on average, one bailiff handles more than 4 thousand enforcement proceedings per year. He can spend no more than 25 minutes on each of them. Therefore, now the emphasis is on electronic methods of work.
According to the latest data, more than 3.9 million debtors are on the travel ban lists
“We have developed new conceptual approaches aimed at optimizing activities, including in the context of digital transformation, which was declared by the Chairman of the Russian Government as one of the priorities of government at all levels,” said Dmitry Aristov. — We are, in fact, moving to a new ideology of execution. Within the framework of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”, the super service “Digital Enforcement Proceedings” has been prepared for implementation, which involves the introduction of a registry model of compulsory execution.”
This will make it possible to collect debts mostly online.
Who prohibits leaving Russia
There are only two authorized persons to make a decision not to leave the debtor:
- Judge.
- The bailiff is the executor.
In the absence of a judicial act, the bailiff may file a petition with the court for a travel ban. If the debtor evades compliance with the requirements of non-judicial enforcement acts, the ban on crossing the border is determined by a court of general jurisdiction. This applies to both individuals and officials and individual entrepreneurs.

How the ban is imposed
Most often, a ban on traveling abroad is imposed after a corresponding decision has been made in court. First of all, this applies to people hiding from alimony payments or having debts to financial organizations.
A Russian must understand that the presence of an unpaid fine in itself is not grounds for a ban on travel to foreign countries. The procedure for imposing a ban is a rather lengthy process.
Resolution on restricting exit from the Russian Federation due to debts
First, a person misses a payment for no valid reason. If he does not respond to requests and warnings, then his case is referred to the court. It is this authority that makes a decision on forced collection of the debt. After this, the bailiffs deal with the defaulter’s case. They inform the person that he has 5 working days to repay the debt.
If the Russian continues to refuse payment, then a decision is made regarding the seizure of his property. In some cases, a certain amount is withheld from the debtor's wages.
Bailiffs in Russia impose a ban on traveling abroad at their own discretion. The enforcement document is often the corresponding court decision. Bailiffs resort to such a harsh measure if the debt collector’s demands to repay the debt within five days were ignored.
The corresponding resolution is sent to the citizen, as well as to employees of the border and migration services. The minimum amount of debt is 30 thousand rubles. Sometimes the amount is cumulative.
Bans on traveling abroad for debtors
Ordinary citizens who are not of military age, do not serve in government agencies, have no criminal record, etc. sometimes fail to travel outside Russia. The reason for the ban on traveling abroad can be trivial debts to utility services, unpaid fines, taxes, alimony debts, under loan agreements, etc. You may also be interested in flying abroad with debts: how to find out if there is a ban.
To make your planned trip happen, pay off all existing debts on time! You can check the status of a citizen restricted from traveling abroad based on debt obligations via the Internet on the official websites of government agencies and banking institutions.
How to remove the restriction
In 2021, bailiffs can impose bans even if the violator has small debts. The restriction is lifted only after the enforcement proceedings are closed. To do this you can:
- Pay off the debt in full.
- Achieve recognition of a judicial act as invalid.
- Peacefully negotiate with the creditor to resolve the debt issue.
- Ask to defer the debt or pay it in installments.
Information about lifting the restriction is sent to the border service within two weeks.
Procedure for lifting restrictions
The procedure for lifting restrictions on travel outside the country depends on the reasons why they were introduced:
- The ban against a suspect or accused in a criminal case is lifted after an acquittal, the closure of the case, or the completion of a certain period after serving the sentence.
- For military conscripts, restrictions are lifted after completion of service.
- For persons related to state secrets or law enforcement agencies, the ban is lifted by decision of management and authorized bodies, as well as by the expiration of a certain period.
Debtors are prohibited from leaving until the debt is repaid. You can try to have the judicial act declared invalid or settle the issue with the creditor peacefully. Another option is to defer the payment of the debt or pay it in installments.
It is possible to pay debts and lift the ban on the State Services online resource, but to do this you need to know the individual entrepreneur number.
Main payment methods
If a debt exists, it must be repaid as soon as possible. This can be done in several ways. The most convenient way is to pay the debt “without leaving the cash register,” that is, right there on the website. You can also use your Qiwi wallet.
Payment of the debt is carried out on the same day. To make a payment, a person must know the number of the enforcement proceedings. Utility debts are paid using the Yandex-Money service.
You can also make payment on the website gosuslugi.ru. Information about the debt is received only after 5 business days, and payment is instant.
