Case: Ban on entry to Ukraine lifted for German citizen
A ban on entry into Ukraine is one of the migration control measures applied to foreigners and stateless persons in cases specified by law. In practice, foreigners often learn about the existence of such a ban only when passing through border control, which leads to a refusal of entry, cancellation of plans for work, study, family reunification or doing business in Ukraine. In many cases, the decision to ban entry can be appealed if there are legal grounds.
A German citizen who encountered an unexpected problem when crossing the border of Ukraine contacted the migration law lawyers of the law firm “Prikhodko&Partners”. Despite the fact that the foreigner fully complied with the requirements for paying a fine for violating traffic rules, he was automatically banned from entering Ukraine. Thanks to the prompt and professional work of our lawyers, the reason for the ban was identified, eliminated in court, and the client successfully entered the territory of Ukraine.
Grounds for imposing a ban on entry into Ukraine
The entry ban was imposed due to a technical and procedural error in the exchange of information between the units of the National Police of Ukraine and the State Migration Service. Despite the timely payment of the fine for violation of traffic rules, information on the implementation of the resolution was not properly transmitted between the departments. As a result, the system automatically generated a record of “non-compliance” of the administrative penalty, which became the formal basis for the application of a restrictive measure — a ban on entry to Ukraine.
Actions of lawyers of the Law Firm “Prikhodko&Partners”
Our lawyers quickly analyzed the situation and identified the real reason for the ban:
- Preparation and sending of an application in written form to the relevant unit of the National Police of Ukraine with a request to cancel the ban record.
- After receiving a positive response from the police, sending control requests to the State Migration Service and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine to update the data and lift the ban in all databases.
- Support of the process at all stages, including monitoring the update of information in interdepartmental registers.
Thanks to a clear sequence of actions and a deep understanding of the mechanisms of interaction between law enforcement agencies and migration services, we managed to avoid a lengthy trial.
Final result
The entry ban was successfully lifted in the shortest possible time. The German citizen crossed the state border of Ukraine without hindrance and continued his activities in the country. The client received full restoration of his rights without unnecessary waste of time and money.
A legal analysis of the grounds for making such a decision and timely appeal to a lawyer allow you to assess the legality of the entry ban and choose the optimal way to appeal it administratively or in court. If you need help from a lawyer in migration law – sign up for an initial consultation.
