What Is Deport?
Deportation is the deportation of a foreigner who has been ordered to be deported to the country of his/her nationality or to a third country and is banned from entering Turkey for a certain period of time. The foreigner is banned from entering Turkey for a maximum of 5 years, but the ban can be extended for another 5 years if the foreigner in question threatens public safety and health.
The foreigner or his/her legal representative or attorney shall be notified of the deportation order together with the legal grounds for deportation.
Foreign nationals can find out whether they are banned from entering Turkey at the border gate or by applying to the foreign representation of the Republic of Turkey in their country.
How to Appeal a Deportation Decision?
The decision to deport foreigners is issued by the governorate or the provincial Migration Management and notified to the foreigner or his/her legal representative. Against this decision of the governorate, the foreigner himself/herself, his/her legal representative or his/her lawyer may apply to the Administrative Court within 15 days to appeal the deportation decision. In case of an application to the court, the foreigner cannot be deported until the case is finalized. However, the foreigner may be deported even if an application for appeal to the Administrative Court is filed against the deportation decision based on one of the following reasons
-The foreigner is a manager, member or supporter of a terrorist or (or) criminal organization;
-In cases where the foreigner poses a danger to public security or public health;
-Foreigners who are found to be associated with organizations or persons defined as terrorist organizations by international organizations.
