Restriction Codes Determined by the Reason for Deportation under the Foreigners and International Protection Law Numbered 6458

Introduction

Foreigners and International Protection Law numbered 6458 (“Law”) was published and came into force in the Official Gazette dated on April 11th, 2013. Foreign citizens who come to our country for various purposes and do not exercise due diligence to comply with the laws within the borders of the country; within the scope of Articles 52 and 60 of the Law, are deported for the purpose of preventing crime, ensuring security and enforcing the law. When deporting foreigners, a restriction code is entered in their registers depending on the reasons for their deportation. These codes indicate an entry ban and show why and for how long the foreigner was deported from the country. It is extremely important to know the restriction codes in terms of the procedures to be taken regarding deportation interrogation and cancelment.

  1. How to Remove Foreign Restriction Code?

Objection against deportation decision can be carried through a lawsuit. Since it is a decision taken by the administration, it is an administrative act. A nullity suit must be filed in the administrative court for the annulment of administrative proceedings. In order to remove the Restriction Codes that cause the prohibition of entry to the country, restriction codes, in some cases, can also be removed with an administrative application, a legitimate invitation, a court decision or a special permission from the T.R. Ministry. Nevertheless, foreigners who are the directors or supporters of a terrorist organization and criminal enterprise, who endanger public security, and whose contact with people liaisoned as an international terrorist organization are identified, are deported even if they file a contestation.

Conclusion

The deportation continuum is regulated between Articles 52 and 60 of the Law. The deportation decision is enforced against those who violate the provisions of Article 54. As required by the clear letter of the Law, this decision is taken only by the Governorates. Foreigners who have been deported are not accepted to the country they were deported from or not allowed to enter the borders of that country for a certain period of time with the restriction code determined according to the reasons for their deportation.
