Immigration Law Violations Defense

Overview

Immigration law violations can lead to criminal prosecution in addition to administrative consequences such as deportation. In the Czech Republic, criminal offenses in this area include facilitating illegal entry or stay of a foreign national (people-smuggling), using false documents to obtain a visa or residence permit, document fraud, and in some cases the employment of undocumented workers.

For foreign nationals, a criminal investigation related to immigration can have immediate consequences — detention, expedited removal proceedings, and a long-term entry ban. Understanding the difference between the criminal process and the administrative immigration process is essential.
