In Kyrgyzstan, the issue of temporary travel restrictions outside the country continues to be an important topic. The reason is usually debts. This was stated by Kubanychbek Kapalov, Deputy Director of the Bailiff Service under the General Prosecutor's Office of the Kyrgyz Republic, during a broadcast on Birinchi Radio.
Kapalov noted that the service receives a large number of applications from government agencies and private individuals regarding debtors with significant debts who are abroad. To simplify control, a unified system for accounting external migration has been developed.
Travel restrictions may be imposed in the presence of debts for fines for administrative offenses, including violations of traffic rules, as well as for bank debts, taxes, and loans.
If the debt is related to administrative violations, it can be settled through a mobile application, after which the restriction is automatically lifted within 5–7 minutes. In the case of other debts, such as alimony or court claims, restrictions are removed only after the full repayment of the debt and based on the creditor's application, according to the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic.
For the convenience of citizens, a special QR code has been implemented, allowing them to check for debts before traveling, which helps avoid troubles at the border.
