Long gone are the days when the borders of the country were tightly closed by the "iron curtain". Today, you can leave Russia to many countries of the world even without a visa, and getting one, if necessary, is a small problem. Nevertheless, you may encounter difficulties in obtaining a passport and leaving, but they are quite objective.
Without a special passport, you can visit only a few neighboring countries - the former Soviet republics of the USSR, and even then not all. Therefore, you need this document to travel abroad. You will not be able to get it in several cases: if you are subject to conscription for military service, are under recognizance not to leave, have an uncleared or conditional conviction, or provided deliberately false information when applying for a passport. In addition, you will not be released abroad and you will not be issued a passport if you have a second and higher form of access to information constituting a state secret. Such a prohibition can last from 2 to 10 years until the information that you possess becomes outdated.
The reason for the refusal to obtain a passport may be unfulfilled monetary obligations, for example, fines at the traffic police, arrears in rent, writs of execution, taxes. If you already have it in your hands, then you may be detained and not released from the country at the airport of departure, even if you have tickets and vouchers on hand. At passport control, you can be returned back even if you made an illegal redevelopment in the apartment or, ignoring the court's decisions, hiding the child from your ex-spouse.
Having a passport in your hands, you will not be able to travel abroad to the country whose authorities will refuse you a visa. If you do not really understand the reasons for this, then visit the travel forums on the Internet. At them, the consulates of a particular country often give explanations to the citizens of Russia who are in such a situation, about what may be the reason for such a ban. When a visa is refused, the consulate is obliged to explain to you the reason, but often the form of such an explanation is rather confusing and it will be difficult for you to understand the logic of the refusal.
The bailiff service transfers information about your debts to the customs service of Russia. In such a stop list, your surname will appear for six months and will remain in it until all your debts are paid off and your affairs are not put in order. You may not be allowed to go abroad also because of the expired passport, an attempt to carry cargo prohibited for carriage, and in the event that the child following you does not have the consent to leave, signed by his other parent. This document must be certified by a notary.
