Entry Ban at the Airport

How much does it cost to have a ban on entry into Russia lifted?

It is impossible to answer this question without reviewing the case of the foreign national who has been deported or is subject to expulsion. The cost of lifting an entry ban into the Russian Federation depends on many factors. The key factors include the reason for the entry ban, the specific provision under which the ban was imposed, as well as related circumstances—such as how long ago the entry ban was imposed, the foreign national’s citizenship, and the grounds on which they were present in the Russian Federation, marital status, type of employment, etc. After reviewing the case and assessing the scope of work involved, it is possible to determine exactly how much it will cost to lift the ban on entry into Russia.

The cost of lifting an entry ban into the Russian Federation through administrative procedures.

The administrative procedure for lifting an entry ban involves having the decision to impose the ban revoked by the same agency that imposed it. Accordingly, the cost of a migration lawyer’s services is based on the number of hours spent on this process. On average, the cost of this process is 35,000 rubles.

The cost of having an entry ban into the Russian Federation lifted through the courts.

This procedure is more predictable and straightforward for an immigration lawyer. Drafting motions, complaints, and lawsuits for submission to the courts is part of our daily legal practice. In addition, the timeframes for reviewing any lawsuit in court are predetermined by law. Consequently, the cost and timeline for lifting a ban on entry into the Russian Federation through the courts are more predictable. The approximate average cost for this process is 25,000 rubles.
