Article 351. Deportation

A foreign citizen or a stateless person temporarily staying or permanently residing in the Republic of Uzbekistan, or a stateless person temporarily staying in the Republic of Uzbekistan, who has received notification of inclusion in the List must voluntarily depart from the Republic of Uzbekistan within ten days from the date of receipt of the notification, except for the case provided for in the fifth part of this Article.

If a foreign citizen or a stateless person included in the List, who is temporarily staying or permanently residing in the Republic of Uzbekistan, or a stateless person temporarily staying in the Republic of Uzbekistan, does not voluntarily depart from the Republic of Uzbekistan within the period specified in the first part of this Article, the said person shall be deported.

Deportation is understood as the forced removal from the country of a foreign citizen or a stateless person who has been included in the List and whose right to reside and stay in the Republic of Uzbekistan on legal grounds has been cancelled.

This person shall not be deported if one of the parents or the guardian or trustee of the foreign citizen or stateless person under the age of eighteen has the right to legally reside on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

If the actions of a foreign citizen or a stateless person temporarily staying or permanently residing in the Republic of Uzbekistan, which served as a ground for their inclusion in the List, contain elements of a crime or an administrative offense, they shall be expelled from the Republic of Uzbekistan in the manner established by Article 35 of this Law, after serving or completing the sentence imposed by the court for the crime or administrative offense committed on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, or after being released from liability or punishment in the cases provided for by the legislation.

The deportation of a foreign citizen or a stateless person included in the List, who is temporarily staying or permanently residing in the Republic of Uzbekistan, or a stateless person temporarily staying in the Republic of Uzbekistan, shall be carried out by the internal affairs bodies and other authorized bodies.

The costs of deporting foreign citizens and stateless persons who permanently reside in the territories of other states, who arrived for official, personal, commercial, or public matters, for study, advanced training, employment, or as a tourist, shall be borne by the natural and legal persons who invited and received them. The costs of deporting other foreign citizens and stateless persons shall be borne by the internal affairs bodies.
