Turkey Understanding Deportation Procedures

Deportation, governed by Articles 52 to 60 of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection (YUKK) No: 6458, is a regulated process that aims to address various breaches of immigration laws and protect public order and security.

Turkey Decision of Removal

A deportation decision is issued by governorates in accordance with the provisions of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection. This decision is implemented for individuals who breach the reasons outlined in Article 54 of the law, with the assessment and decision stage typically lasting a maximum of 48 hours.

Turkey Persons Subject to Deportation

Deportation decisions may be issued for individuals falling under various categories outlined in Article 54 of the Law on Foreigners and International Protection. These include, but are not limited to:

• Those deemed to be involved with terrorist organizations or criminal enterprises.
• Individuals providing false information or documents during immigration procedures.
• Foreigners posing a threat to public order, security, or health.
• Individuals who have overstayed their visas or residence permits.
• Foreigners working without proper authorization.
• Those who breach terms and conditions for legal entry or exit.

Turkey Exemption from Deportation

Certain individuals may be exempt from deportation, including those facing risks of serious harm or in need of medical treatment not available in their home country. Victims of trafficking or violence may also be exempt from deportation.

Turkey Judicial Remedy against Deportation Decision

Individuals subject to deportation have the right to appeal the decision to the administrative court within fifteen days of notification. Appeals are decided upon within seven days, and the decision of the court is final.

Turkey Summons to Leave Turkey

Those issued deportation decisions are typically granted a period of fifteen to thirty days to leave Turkey, with a “Leave Permit” provided for this purpose. Failure to leave within the specified period may result in administrative detention.

Turkey Administrative Detention

Individuals subject to deportation may be placed under administrative detention if deemed necessary by the governorate. The duration of detention in removal centers is typically limited to six months, with the possibility of extension under certain circumstances.

Turkey Implementation of the Removal Decision

Removal procedures are carried out by law enforcement units, with cooperation from international organizations and relevant authorities. Travel costs are typically covered by the individual being deported, with provisions for cases of financial inability.

Turkey Legal Assistance

Individuals facing deportation have the right to legal representation and may appeal detention decisions to the Judge of the Criminal Court of Peace. Legal counsel may be provided for those unable to afford representation.

What are Deport Codes?

FOREIGN (DEPORT) THREAT CODES AND (DEPORTUN) CODE REMOVAL LAWSUIT

Every year, millions of foreigners travel to our country for different purposes. In some cases, foreigners are deported because they do not take the necessary care to comply with the law and a restriction code is imposed on them.

While deporting, depending on the reasons for deportation, a restriction code can be processed on their records, and due to this code, they are prevented from re-entering the Republic of Turkey for a period of 1 month to 5 years, and in some cases indefinitely.

V-69 is placed on those who have obtained a residence permit in Turkey but then revoked it if the residence rules are not followed.

V-137 (invited to leave Turkey)

Some foreigners who have been given a deportation order are not immediately forcibly deported, but are given 15 days to leave Turkey. These people must leave Turkey within 15 days. If they are still in Turkey after 15 days, a deportation decision will be applied immediately and an entry ban will be imposed. These people are given the code V-137.

V-144 (released under 57-A)

Some foreigners who have a deportation decision may not be able to return to their country, or if they do, this person's life may be in danger. In these cases, the foreigner can be deported to the 3rd country. If this is not possible, the foreigner is not deported and is granted a humanitarian residence permit. In this process, the V-144 code is placed on the person. It can be removed by the legitimate visa method.

V-146 (Turkish passport annotated)

In practice, annotations are placed on the passports of some Turkish citizens against whom judicial proceedings have been initiated with the V-146 code.

G-78 (Foreigners carrying infectious diseases)

However, if an incorrect diagnosis has been made or if the foreigner has been treated and regained his health later, the ban on entry to Turkey will be lifted as a result of the application to be made. A lawyer should be consulted about whether this application will be made with a lawsuit or an administrative application.

G-82 (Activity Against National Security)

G-82 is the code imposed on foreigners who are engaged in or suspected of operating against national security. It is similar to the G-87 code mentioned below. It can be put on the basis of intelligence information like that. However, it can be removed through litigation.

G-87 (Genel güvenlik açısından tehlike arz edilen kişiler)

Based on some sources such as police intelligence and national intelligence agency, a G-87 restriction code can be placed on foreign persons and these people are deported.

Here, in practice, what we encounter in most cases is that intelligence reports are indiscriminate and not based on any concrete evidence. In most cases, intelligence creates a report about the foreign person based on suspicion and reports it to the Migration Management. In these cases, it is possible to remove this code by filing a lawsuit.

In addition, the lives of some people with G-87 codes are at risk in their own countries due to the deportation. In a case that came before the Constitutional Court before, this process was canceled and the person was not deported on the grounds that the life of the person against whom the G-87 restriction code was placed would be at risk if he was deported and that the person did not pose a definite danger to general security.

If the administrative fine imposed on foreigners who violate a visa or residence is not paid while leaving Turkey, the C-120 restriction code will be processed for the person and he will be prevented from re-entering Turkey for 5 years. In fact, as we explained above, the sanctions to be applied in case of visa violation have been diversified with the new regulation. Due to the fact that visa violation is a broad topic, we have written a separate article on this subject. We have given the topic link above.

Ç-135 (Foreigners and those who violate the international protection law)

Permission must be obtained from the ministry for entry. If permission is not granted, different legal remedies may be applied according to the response from the ministry.

But as with the N-82 code, this permit is almost never allowed in practice. This is an application of the ban on entry into the country. In this case, it is not possible in practice for the foreigner to enter Turkey without filing a lawsuit and canceling the code.

Ç-150 (Those who try to log in with fake documents)

C-150 is the code placed on foreigners who submit false documents during their entry into Turkey. It can be removed through a legitimate visa or, in some cases, through litigation.

K Restriction Codes

K (Wanted for Smuggling)

The K restriction code is usually placed for foreigners who commit smuggling crimes and for whom an arrest warrant has been issued. This code may not prohibit entry. It can even be put for the purpose of preventing going abroad.

N Restriction Codes

N-99 (Interpol code)

The N-99 Interpol restriction code is set for persons for whom an Interpol search warrant has been issued in their own country or by a member country of the Interpol system. This type of code can also lead to a ban on entry to Turkey. The discretion to impose an entry ban belongs to the state. Although this is essentially a serious type of code, it has been removed a lot by us.

o Restriction Codes

0-100 (Asylum Seeker Prohibited from Entering the Country of Unknown District)

O 100 is the asylum seeker restriction code that is prohibited from entering the dormitory whose neighborhood is unknown. When applying to the Provincial Directorates of Migration Management as an asylum seeker in Turkey, the O-100 restriction code is applied when deporting from Turkey for asylum seeker foreigners who are found to be absent from the address they declared as an asylum seeker and who are prohibited from entering the country.

O-176 (Foreigners whose request for international protection has been evaluated negatively for 3 years)

How Can Foreign Restriction Codes Be Removed?

We have explained above that different restriction codes are set for foreigners for different reasons and accordingly, the time it takes to re-enter Turkey varies. There is an administrative court remedy for the removal of the restriction code, and in some cases, it can be lifted with an administrative application or a legitimate invitation. It is also very important in terms of roadmap that you work with a lawyer in this regard. Because each code contains a different legal way in itself.

Administrative Case for Removal of the Restriction Code

Persons against whom a deportation decision has been taken and whose restriction code has been processed can have the restriction code decision canceled by filing a lawsuit in the administrative court within the litigation period. It will be necessary to take different actions according to each limitation code and to defend in a different way in the case.

If there is a foreigner for whom a restriction code has been placed and a deportation decision has been made, it is the most logical way to file a lawsuit against this foreigner for the cancellation of the deportation decision as soon as possible. If an annulment lawsuit is filed against the deportation decision, the result of the annulment lawsuit is awaited so that the person can be deported. In other words, if a lawsuit is filed, the foreigner will not be deported until the end of the case
