Have you ever been banned from a country?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

As of today, I am one of the only six individuals of my country banned from entering Russia, because I seized Russian properties and interests in my jurisdiction. Pathetically enough, the Russian consul had said that one of my fellow compatriots could even face charges if he ever sets foot in Russia.
Ironically enough, before this, I was amply criticized for my decision to not allow Ukrainian refugees in my jurisdiction, for the simple reasons that we don't have the financial means to welcome those people. I wonder if that will make me persona non grata in Ukraine as well?

The affidavit the prefect and I received also states that I've been stripped of my Certificate of Friendship because my actions "demonstrated a long-harbored ill will towards the Russian State and its people"; and my removal from the list of donors of the library of the city of Tol'jatti.
It's pathetic.

On Monday I'll start the procedure with the prefect to serve affidavits banning 23 Russian-born citizens over the age of 18 from my jurisdiction for six months. This means they'll have to leave their homes and places of employment, if they are within my jurisdiction.
It's a security measure for our citizenship.

No, but I was apparently deemed an illegal-immigrant when I was a mere child.

Like many of my Filipino-compatriots, my father worked in Saudi Arabia, and we visited him whenever we could. But the last time we visited, it seems a Saudi immigration-official forgot to sign-off my passport, so that I was technically still in the Kingdom… despite already having been back in the Philippines for years already. When my father was on his way out for the last time (with his boss, since he could only legally leave with his employer's permission, and his boss liked him enough to personally bring him to the airport and certify the permission in person), a Saudi official stopped him from boarding because of my illegal-presence in the House of Saud's jurisdiction. Luckily, my father's boss took back my father's passport, disappeared with the official for a while, and fixed it (at least, enough for my father to be able to exit for the last time). I'm not sure if what my father's boss did was a once-&-for-all solution or a 1-time work-around just so my father could go back home. So, any trip back to Saudi Arabia to see what's become of it after how many decades away now… isn't in my to-do list for now.

I haven’t, only those who have a significant role have the “privilege” to be considered by the elite of the Earth. Sure you did a courageous and righteous act taking sides in this war.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Thank you for your kind words, but I'm neither elite nor I am particularly courageous.
I just loathe criminals and do everything I can to protect my people from them.

[Ευδεμονια]

Your act has been sure more courageous than the acting of country leaders that prefer to hide behind words and do nothing to make pressure for stopping the war. You’re not elite but you’ve been noticed by them, their way of acting means they consider you a menace or a harm. Good job!

My dad was almost banned from China when we wanted to obtain passports for a family funeral there because his name was flagged as suspicious due to nearby rebels in his area who share his lineage or name and we had to collect documentation from family that proved we had different social connections and affiliations to obtain access to the country to attend the funeral.

[Agape93]

Nope but it's in the cards as a possibility in the future

[tartaarsaus]

Technically I’m not allowed to enter Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Brunei

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

That's quite the list!

[N192K001]

Holy Hell！！！ How did that happen‽ Did you publicly insult Islam in the Internet?

Got in trouble with Saudi law-enforcement, too? Yeah, in my case, I didn't even know I was in legal trouble.

[tartaarsaus]

@N192K001

Just a consequence of being Israeli lmao

[N192K001]

Yikes! Visiting Israel is in my life's bucket-list. (Thanks for the warning!) Hopefully, none of my future business-venture plans will involve those parts of the world.

[tartaarsaus]

@N192K001

To prevent this issue affecting non-Israelis, Israel simply doesn’t stamp passports anymore, which means that non-Israelis can visit these countries as long as they are a bit tactful about it

[N192K001]

Nice to know! Thanks for the info!

[Guy13]

No, not yet but you a cult leader, have been banned?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I'm not a cult leader, but according to them, I "illegally seized", "extorted" and "terrorized" their citizens.
I just seized (legally and with the support of the procure and relevant organs) their assets and had eleven Russian citizens put under watch and called for three to be put under house arrest.

[Guy13]

Sounds like a possibility for "Banning"... or at least a WANTED post or poster?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

They are the criminals in my country, not me.
They will be prosecuted in my country and Russia will have no recourse.

[Guy13]

Alright then, hope you have a good time.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

It's not good, I'm getting no pleasure from this.

[Guy13]

Gotcha.

[LilyByte]

Not famous, but I'm an elected official who doesn't stand for foreign interests on my land.

[JohnK123]
