The ban on the departure of police officers abroad

There is a Directive of the Ministry of Defense, which establishes a ban on the departure of police officers abroad. Previously, Russian siloviki were not forced to stay at home, but they were advised to refrain from traveling abroad. At the moment, the restriction on the departure of police officers abroad is presented in mandatory form. Many analysts believe that, perhaps, these inconveniences will only become more complicated.

Rules for leaving the country for servicemen

Article 2 of the Law of 15.08.1996 N 114-FZ provides that a citizen of the Russian Federation is not entitled to limit himself in the possibility of traveling abroad, except for cases provided for in this resolution. Having familiarized with its main points, it will be possible to determine precisely whether a particular person can leave the country, or this right is absent.

There are some regulations that limit the departure of police officers abroad. They all have a rationale, so you need to familiarize yourself with them:

1. Access to classified materials and state secrets. This information is classified under the law "On State Secrets". Sometimes this law applies to police officers whose travel abroad is limited when entering into an employment contract, that is, in its conditions, this restriction has already been prescribed. This is possible only on condition that the restriction on leaving abroad extends longer than 5 years from the day when the person has access to classified materials and was acquainted with them. The restriction is introduced for a period until a person uses information and they can have value for independent persons, however not longer than the established period.
2. Call for military or civil service, which has an alternative meaning. These actions must be carried out in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation. This restriction extends before the term of alternative civilian or military service is fully completed.
3. Public service or permanent work in the bodies of the FSB. The restriction comes into force after signing the contract and is canceled only after its termination or termination.

Additional provisions

In some cases, the Interdepartmental Commission decides that the state secret has not lost its importance in terms of the danger of disclosure and the importance of specific information. In this case, they can prohibit the departure of police officers abroad for a certain time, that is, to extend the term. These changes are entered in the employment contract. The total duration of the restriction, which is not interrupted by the possibility of leaving the country, should not exceed 10 years, but it includes years limited by the employment contract.

Features of the ban on leaving the country

Usually, bans on going abroad are relevant only to workers who are related to law enforcement agencies, namely:

1. Employees of the FSB.
2. In cases where a citizen, while not necessarily a member of the law enforcement agency, has access to certain classified documents that can be classified as state secrets. This restriction is valid only if it relates to provisions in the signed employment contract.
3. A citizen who is a military man due to compulsory recruitment.

In case of restriction on leaving the country, a foreign passport is placed in the state body, which dealt with its registration and issuance. In any case, the military has difficulties when leaving the country, and they are notified of the fact of the complicated crossing of the Russian border when signing an employment contract or entering the service.

Protection of state secrets

The Office of Internal Affairs regulates the restriction on going abroad. The police are limited to the need to protect important state secrets. Bans on travel abroad include many employees who, according to their duty, have access to important information. Direct prohibition is not established, but there are recommendations that prohibit people from traveling abroad. Police and servicemen are subject to this.

When analyzing the awareness of a particular employee, that is, the level of his access to information of a certain degree of secrecy, the authorities can independently take a decision that relates to the possibility of his traveling abroad. Sometimes a particular policeman has the right to access confidential files, but he did not use them during the work, which means he can leave the country, as he is not able to divulge state secrets.

If the degree of secrecy is important, it is delineated into three categories

• Particularly sensitive and important information. This is one form of admission, for which you need insurance for traveling abroad. This aspect relates to the senior managers of various departments, chiefs of management. So the ban on the departure of the police abroad is prescribed.
• Information that is considered top secret is protected, but many operational officers are acquainted with them, therefore access to this information is subject to protection in accordance with the 2 forms of admission.
• Closed information, which every employee has the right to use as his own service. Such information is protected under Form 3.

Refusal to go abroad can be obtained by people who are related to information protected by the 1st and 2nd form of admission, and the 3rd form has no restrictions in this matter. This is the reason for the ban on the departure of the police abroad.

The second level of access is available to various employees of departments and the FSB, it should be remembered that cases with top-secret information can be disassembled and ordinary investigators, which limits the departure of MVD employees abroad. All restrictions apply to those people who are carriers of information about state secrets. Those who were not involved in it and do not know the secret information, do not fall under the ban on leaving.

Security of employees

Russian siloviki were restricted from leaving the country after the Russian Foreign Ministry determined that it was undesirable to allow employees to travel to countries where an extradition treaty was concluded with the United States. All Russian citizens who have undertaken a trip to these countries can not be considered protected by domestic legislation. The leadership of the security agencies made this order an order, so all employees had to hand in issued foreign passports. This order is based solely on the safety of employees, and the right to leave for them remains, but at the moment the state recommends refraining from this. This is confirmed by the ban on the police to go abroad.

Regulation of the departure of security officials abroad

The instruction, which prescribes the movement of the siloviki and their possible departure, provides that the military may be restricted in this right for a certain period or for the entire time when the employment contract is relevant. If civilians have entered into an employment contract with the Ministry of Defense, they may also be subject to this prohibition, so you need insurance for traveling abroad.

The police opened the trip abroad. To get permission to leave for the siloviki, they must undergo a strictly regulated procedure and collect certain documents. It is necessary to file a report or a statement, filled out clearly on the model, addressed to the head of a specific administration.

There are exceptions that relate to the need to travel abroad due to a serious illness of a particular relative or his death, as well as related to the need for independent treatment in another country. The head takes a decision, which subsequently acquaints the employee who submitted the application. A certificate is issued, which must be submitted to the personnel department. This is how police officers abroad do not travel abroad.

Features of drawing up and applying the help

In the certificate, employees indicate whether a particular person has been granted the right to leave the country, or refused to do so. The further actions of the employee depend on the decision of the officials. So, the police can go abroad. If a person has received a positive response, he must go to the personnel department in order to present the issued certificate. There he will be given a passport, then there is the possibility of free travel outside the country. So the ban on the police to go abroad is being decided.

Issuance of a foreign passport

The employee's passport is located in the personnel department and can only be issued after a permit has been issued that regulates the right to leave the country. This determines the departure of police officers abroad. If the servicemen or citizens of the state are related to the service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the registration of the passport for them takes place with the participation of the above reference. Sometimes a serviceman needs to stay abroad for more than 15 days or there are exceptional reasons that govern his stay outside the country. In these cases, the head of this employee can issue him permission to cross the border only after agreement with the higher management.

Difficulties in crossing the border

The police allowed going abroad. Soldiers and other employees who have access to sensitive data can obtain a passport from the personnel department, but are forced to return it back 5 days after receipt. Such workers have difficulties in obtaining a certificate for traveling abroad, since their activities are regulated by various regulations that protect state secrets. So it is regulated Departure of police officers abroad.

If these persons have received permission to travel abroad, after returning from another country they are forced to pass a foreign passport to the personnel department, and then draw up a detailed account of the peculiarities of their stay in another country. This document is provided for review to a higher-level management.

Sometimes for the departure of high-level executives, permission is required from even higher-ranking officials, and to cross the border of other employees, their appeal to their superiors is necessary. If the admission to secret information for the employee was carried out in a second form, when his exit is undesirable, crossing the border will be the most difficult action possible only in exceptional cases.

Differences

Ordinary Russian citizens who are not related to state secrets are free to cross the border in accordance with generally accepted rules. For the employees of law enforcement bodies, this process is complicated, as they often receive permits to get acquainted with data of great national value.

A document came out that limits the right of Russian military forces to leave the country's borders. Significant restrictions were imposed on many groups, in particular, such persons:

1. Employees in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the entire range of positions.
2. People who are employees of the migration service of the Russian Federation.
3. Counted to the department responsible for combating drug trafficking.
4. Controlling the process of implementing punishments.
5. Individuals ranked in the Ministry of Defense.

Features of obtaining a visa

The visa can not be freely obtained by those who have anything to do with the secrecy of the state scale. There is also a separate restrictive list, which includes all countries allowed for visits by citizens who are on military service. The list of states was compiled on the basis of the general political situation in the international arena.

The Ministry of the Interior severely restricted its employees in the possibility of overseas rest, since even the neighboring countries were banned for the exit. Some people for a certain period of time are almost prohibited. Such restrictions are made primarily to ensure the safety and peace of the employees themselves. There are recommendations that request all policemen to refrain from traveling to some countries. These restrictions and bans apply to virtually all military, so the orders received wide public resonance.
