Around 3 million debtors will be barred from traveling abroad during the May holidays, according to the Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP).
Compared to last year, the number of debtors in the first quarter increased by 1.5 times (4.4 million). From the statistics The Federal Bailiff Service (FSSP) notes that these figures are constantly increasing, and that restrictions on travel abroad are the only way to motivate debtors to quickly repay their debts.
As department officials explained to Izvestia, those with debts exceeding 10,000 rubles in traffic fines, housing and utility bills, loans, taxes, alimony, and other debts may be prohibited from traveling abroad.
Furthermore, bailiffs note that travel restrictions are initially imposed for only six months and then extended as often as necessary until the debt is repaid. Furthermore, debtors are notified of accumulated debts in advance via written notice by mail, or bailiffs personally visit the debtor.
Unfortunately, there are also cases where a defaulter learns of their debts directly at border control or just before departure. In such cases, the traveler is simply barred from leaving the country, and paying the debt at a terminal or online is no longer possible. According to the Federal Bailiff Service, the procedure for lifting the travel ban takes about 24 hours only after the debt is fully paid.
In addition, the Federal Bailiff Service regularly holds special events. For example, on April 26, the "Learn About Your Debts" campaign was launched, informing anyone interested about outstanding debts, payment information, and enforcement proceedings.
