Some individuals wishing to travel abroad may encounter the G-82 restriction code during passport procedures. This situation usually occurs without the person’s knowledge and directly affects their travel plans. The G-82 code is a type of preventive administrative measure within the security system of the Republic of Turkey. It imposes restrictions on the person to whom it is applied regarding travel abroad.
What Does Restriction Code G-82 Mean?
G-82 is a code used in matters concerning the national security of the Republic of Turkey. It is generally applied when security units or intelligence agencies conclude that an individual is in the high-
G-82 is not a penalty; it is a preventive administrative measure. However, its consequences are quite serious. If this code appears in the system during passport control, it may result in the person being stopped at the border.
Who is it applicable to?
This code is not specific to a particular profession or charge. It generally applies to:
- Individuals evaluated within the scope of investigations concerning national security,
- Individuals about whom intelligence information is available,
- Public officials or certain individuals who have previously worked in government institutions,
- It may be applied to individuals alleged to be associated with terrorist organizations.
In short, G-82 can be enforced administratively without a court order. However, this does not mean that the person has been definitively charged with a crime.
Effects of Code G-82
This restriction directly affects the individual’s freedom of movement. If the code is processed:
- Your passport may become invalid or be revoked.
- A new passport application may be rejected.
- Visa procedures may be adversely affected,
- Exit is not permitted at border crossings.
In such a situation, the person often learns of the code’s existence when attempting to leave the country.
How is it learned?
The existence of the G-82 code is generally not directly visible. On the e-Government portal, only the phrase “restriction exists” may appear in the “Overseas Exit Permit” section. For detailed information, a written application must be submitted to the relevant institutions. At this stage, acting through a lawyer is important for the official process to proceed correctly.
Overview of the Removal Process
The removal of the G-82 code depends on which institution imposed the code and for what reason. Each case is evaluated individually. Therefore, the process is carried out through individual applications or through administrative courts.
In some cases, codes assigned due to administrative errors or confusion can be corrected quickly, while the process may take longer for security-based files. The important thing here is to correctly determine the person’s legal status and to carry out the application process in accordance with the law.
G-82 Code Expiration Date
This code may not have a specific duration. The code may remain active in the system until it is removed. Therefore, it is not the duration but the removal of the reason or a change in the administrative body’s decision that is decisive. In some cases, a reassessment of the code may be requested.
Legal Assessment
The G-82 restriction code may have serious consequences as it limits the freedom of movement, which is one of the fundamental rights of individuals. However, the legal basis, proportionality, and necessity of this restriction are always subject to administrative review.
If an individual believes that the code has been applied unfairly or incorrectly, they can seek redress through administrative appeals and legal proceedings. In such cases, legal representation ensures that the process is properly guided.
