Impediment to expulsion

Impediment to expulsion are practical or legal barriers that prevent a country from enforcing an expulsion or deportation decision of a non-national.

Examples of impediments to expulsion in certain countries are:

  • A government's decision on a temporary enforcement halt or suspension of all deportations to a specific country due to for example war
  • The home country refuses to receive the person.
  • The foreigner's identity was not established.
  • Transport is not possible.
  • Serious difficulties would arise due to the foreigner's health condition

In some countries and cases, a person who has been asylum seeker but has received negative decision, may still be entitled to reside in the country where the person has applied for a residence permit due to such impediments, and may get a temporary or permanent residence permit.
