Deportation is an administrative decision issued by the governorate against a foreign national in the circumstances listed in Law No. 6458. Some of the grounds for such a decision include posing a threat to public security or public order, connections with terrorist organization activities, use of forged documents, working without a permit, or having had one's residence permit cancelled.
The codes known in practice as "restriction codes" are restriction markers entered into the administrative record system relating to a foreign national's entry into and residence in the country; some codes are based on a general security assessment, while others are based on specific circumstances such as cancellation of a residence permit or illegal entry. The presence of a restriction code may result in the person being denied entry into the country or in the rejection of residence/work permit applications.
An action for annulment may be filed against a deportation decision before the competent administrative court within seven days of its notification; this period is a preclusive time limit. If an action is filed, or while this period is pending, the deportation may not be carried out without the foreign national's consent.
Having a restriction code removed or a deportation decision annulled is a technical process that requires evaluating all of the documents and grounds of the specific case together. To avoid any loss of rights, it is strongly advisable to seek the assistance of an attorney from the very beginning of the process.
