Such a decision was made after the Migration Department conducted an investigation, analyzed publicly available information and received additional information from the responsible institutions of the country – the State Security Department, the Police Department, the State Border Guard Service,” the Migration Department said in a comment submitted to BNS on Thursday.

However, after it ends and the decision becomes effective, you will have to leave.
