Help with overstay, administrative cases, visa expiration
Many foreign citizens search online for “overstay visa Russia help”, “visa expired in Russia what to do” or “administrative case for migration violation in Russia”. Overstaying a visa or breaking migration rules can lead not only to fines, but also to deportation and an entry ban. As a migration lawyer for foreigners, I provide legal help in cases related to overstay, administrative offences and visa problems.
A common situation is when a foreigner realises that they have overstayed a Russian visa or that their visa or migration card has already expired. In such cases:
- even a few days of overstay can be treated as a migration violation;
- the authorities may initiate an administrative case;
- the court may impose a fine and order administrative expulsion or deportation.
- analyse your specific situation (how long you overstayed, your migration history, your family and work ties);
- explain possible consequences under current law;
- advise on the best legal strategy in your case.
When a foreigner violates the rules of stay, the authorities often open an administrative case. Typical examples include:
- staying in Russia with an expired visa or migration card;
- living at an address different from the registered one;
- working without the required permission;
- violating rules of registration or movement.
- prepare you for a hearing in an administrative case;
- attend the hearing where permitted and present legal arguments on your behalf;
- explain what evidence may be useful (documents confirming family, work or other important ties);
- help you avoid additional violations while your case is in progress.
Foreigners often search for “visa problems Russia lawyer” or “help with Russian visa expiration” when they face issues such as:
- visa has expired but they are still in Russia;
- the purpose of stay does not match the actual activity (for example, working on a tourist visa);
- they received a refusal to extend their stay;
- they fear being refused entry to Russia in the future.
- review your documents and travel history;
- explain the legal risks and realistic scenarios;
- help you communicate correctly with migration authorities;
- prepare legal arguments if an administrative case has already started.
When a foreign citizen faces deportation, overstay, administrative cases or visa expiration in Russia, language and trust are critical. Working with an English‑speaking migration lawyer for foreigners gives you:
- clear explanations instead of guesswork and rumours;
- realistic understanding of what Russian law allows in your situation;
- structured legal strategy rather than emotional reactions;
- professional representation before Russian authorities and courts.
FAQ - Legal assistance for foreigners facing deportation in Russia
Deportation from Russia is one of the most serious consequences a foreign citizen can face under Russian migration law. A foreigner facing deportation in Russia can receive a removal order and, in many cases, a long‑term entry ban that prevents them from returning to Russia for several years. If you are a foreign national who has received a decision on deportation, or you have been told that the authorities are preparing such a decision, you should treat the situation very seriously and seek help from an experienced Russian immigration lawyer.

- are already in a temporary detention centre for foreign nationals;

Under Russian law, deportation or forced removal usually involves:

- if police or migration officers inform you that they are starting an administrative case that may end in deportation;
- immediately after being placed in a detention centre for foreign citizens.
