Deportation refers to the deprivation of foreigners' residence qualifications in China, forcing a criminal alien to leave China. For foreigners who commit crimes, deportation may be applied independently or additionally.
Independently, it is aimed at foreigners whose crimes are relatively minor, and it is not necessary to be sentenced to principal penalties(control, criminal detention, fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, death penalty), but he or she can be sentenced to deportation independently.
Additionally, it is aimed at foreigners whose crimes are more serious in nature and who have been sentenced to the principal penalties or other additional sentences, and he or she needs to be deported after the principal penalties have been executed.
According to Law on the Administration of the Entry and Exit of Foreigners, aliens may be deported under any of the following circumstances:
1️⃣ Those who have been ordered to leave the country within a specified time limit and fail to leave within the specified time limit;
2️⃣ There is no entry;
3️⃣ Illegal residence or employment;
4️⃣ Those who need to be deported in violation of this law or other laws and administrative regulations.
Other overseas personnel who are under any of the circumstances listed above may be deported according to law. Even if a foreigner with residence qualification in China commits an international crime abroad, after the foreigner enters the territory of China, it can still impose deportation.
Generally, after being deported, he or she is not allowed to enter the country within 10 years from the date of deportation. After 10 years, he or she can apply for entry again, but re-entry will not be so easy and may be refused forever.
