  • Title: Decree-Law No. 1/007 setting forth regulations on the entry, stay, and establishment of Foreigners in Burundi and their removal, 20 March 1989.
    Author: Burundi.
    Journal: Annu Rev Popul Law; 1989; 16():160-1. PubMed ID: 12344181.
    Abstract:
    In 1989, Burundi issued a decree-law setting out the regulations governing the entry, residency, and establishment of foreigners in the country as well as their removal. The decree-law also established a Consultative Commission on Foreigners to rule on such cases. Proper travel documents are required to enter the country, and foreigners may stay for up to three months if they have sufficient means of support. Foreigners may not enter the country if they have been expelled, have been convicted of an extraditable crime, are mentally ill, have a contagious disease, desire to engage in activity against national security, or constitute a danger to national security. Residency may be established with proper documentation, including a medical statement certifying that they are not mentally ill and have no contagious disease. Foreigners seeking residency must also deposit a sum in an approved bank to cover the cost of repatriation. A request for refugee status must be made to the Minister of the Interior within eight days of arrival in Burundi. If the request is refused, the petitioner must leave the country within 30 days. Employing or otherwise aiding foreigners not authorized to establish themselves in Burundi will result in a term of imprisonment of three months to three years and/or a fine.
