To understand the reasons and mechanisms for imposing an entry ban to Ukraine, it is important to consider two distinct concepts: refusal of entry and entry ban.
Refusal of entry occurs at the moment of attempting to cross the border, usually due to non-compliance with Ukrainian legislation requirements. For example, absence of a visa in the passport, invalid documents, or insufficient evidence of the trip’s purpose. This decision is made on the spot, at the border checkpoint, and has no negative consequences for the foreigner.
In case of refusal of entry, the foreigner must promptly return to their country of residence. This entails the obligation of immediate return to the country of origin but does not entail any possible legal responsibility.
Violation of the permitted stay terms in Ukraine may result in forced deportation of the foreigner. This procedure does not necessarily accompany an entry ban to Ukraine, but these concepts are often confused in judicial practice.
Even after the reasons for refusal of entry are resolved, the person cannot enter Ukraine as long as the entry ban decision is in force. This is important to consider when analyzing legal issues and court decisions.
The Lawyers and Realtors Association of Ukraine “AROU” conducts research on judicial practices and analyzes clients’ cases. We frequently encounter cases where the grounds for forced deportation of a foreigner coincide with the entry ban to Ukraine, requiring careful legal analysis and a professional approach.
How can you recognize the decision of entry ban to Ukraine made by border guards or other responsible authorities?
Usually, if you have suspicions or realize that you have violated the permitted stay period, and the inspection upon the next entry is prolonged, or annotations are made in your passport, it may be a sign of a potential ban.
