A foreigner or his legal representative or lawyer who is subject to the obligation of electronic monitoring may apply to the criminal judge of peace against this decision. The application does not stop the administrative obligation to which the foreigner is subjected. The criminal magistrate shall conclude the examination within five days. The decision of the criminal judge of peace is final.

Travel Expenses of the Foreigner to be Deported
Foreigners' passports or other documents may be kept until they are deported, and their tickets may be converted into money for use in deportation proceedings.
It is essential that the travel expenses of foreigners to be deported are covered by them. If the foreigner's current money is enough to cover the travel expenses, all of the travel expenses are covered by him/herself and the increased amount is left to the foreigner. If the foreigner does not have any money, the travel expenses are covered by the general directorate. However, if the foreigner has some money and his current money is not enough to cover all the travel expenses,;
1) Travel expenses are covered by the Presidency, and the foreigner's current money is left to him/her with an amount sufficient to meet the basic requirements of foreigners to be deported, determined by the Presidency at the beginning of each financial year, and the increased portion is recorded as income to the Treasury in exchange for travel expenses.
2) If the foreigner's current money is less than enough to meet the basic requirements, the entire travel cost is covered by the Presidency and his/her current money is left to him/ her. Foreigners may not be allowed to enter Turkey unless their out-of-border travel expenses are paid back. If no other ban has been placed on the foreigner, the restriction is lifted on condition that he pays the costs and he is allowed to enter our country within the framework of the general provisions of the visa.
Expenses incurred due to deportation are public receivable in accordance with the first article of law No. 6183 and will be collected by finance tellers. In accordance with Article 104 of the Law No. 6183 on the Procedure for Collecting Public Receivables, since the debtor is located in a foreign country, the statute of limitations will not apply for this receivable. For this reason, there is no obstacle to entering an indefinite restriction on foreigners.
Natural or legal persons are obliged to pay the costs of deportation of foreigners whose stay or return they guarantee. The provisions of paragraph 5 and article 9 of Article 23 of the International Labour Force Law No. 6735 on the obligations of employers or employer's deputies who employ a foreigner without permission regarding the foreigner's deportation procedures are applied. Within the framework of this provision, a penalty of 6 thousand TL is imposed on an employer or employer's representative who employs a foreigner who does not have a work permit for each foreigner. The employer or the employer's representative must cover the accommodation expenses of the foreigner who does not have a work permit and his/her spouse and children, if any, the necessary expenses for their return to their country, and medical expenses if necessary. If these expenses, expenses and expenses are covered from the budget of the Migration Management, the amounts paid in accordance with this article shall be collected from the employer or the employer's representative in accordance with the Law No. 6183 dated 21/7/1953 on the Collection Procedure of Public Receivables. The procedures and principles regarding the implementation of this paragraph are determined jointly by the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry.
