Can not be released abroad because of the traffic police fine

If you have unpaid traffic police fines, then you may well be banned from traveling abroad. But do not panic because of a couple of unpaid fines for a small amount, since there is a minimum total amount of debt, below which no one has the right to set a restriction on traveling abroad. In addition, it takes quite a long time for the relevant authorities to install the restriction itself. To understand everything and understand how to prevent a ban on leaving due to traffic police fines, read this article to the end.

The mechanism of the ban on travel abroad in the Russian Federation is such that only bailiffs can establish it, and the Traffic Police Department itself has nothing to do with it. First, you must accumulate a considerable amount of unpaid traffic police fines, after which the relevant authorities initiate the collection of debts from you, and if you evade this, only then the Federal Bailiff Service can impose a ban as a last resort. When bailiffs impose this ban, they still have to send information to the databases of border guards, and all this can take from several months to six months.

In addition, there is a minimum bar of debt, below which no one can set a ban on you. This amount of debt is regulated by law (federal law "on enforcement proceedings" of 02.10.2007 N 229-FZ), and from October 1, 2017 is set at at least 30,000 rubles.

If you learned about the ban before the start of your trip, you need to immediately pay off all your debts and fines, and try to personally contact the bailiff service for the earliest possible removal of restrictions. Find out about the amount of your debts to the traffic police and tax inspectorate and pay them best on the portal of public services Gosuslugi.ru. see for more information on how to remove the ban on traveling abroad.

If the presence of debts is found already at the border, then nothing can be done. Theoretically, you can pay off debts right at the border using the public services website or special terminals, but remember what a complicated procedure for establishing a ban. also, it will take some time to remove the restriction, because information about payment must first be received by the bailiff, and he will already remove the restriction and information about this will get to the border guards. All this is a long procedure, and it will take several days even if you take care of it yourself. Of course, your air tickets or a ticket will simply burn out, no one will return the money for it. Therefore, it is better not to allow this.
