•The Residence Card is automatically collected at the airport exit immigration counter. No advance visit to immigration or the city office is required
•If you plan to return on a re-entry permit (including deemed re-entry), do NOT return your Residence Card — doing so will cancel your residency status
•If you leave without returning your card (e.g., due to loss), you must return it or report to the immigration office at a later date
•Permanent residents (Eijusha): returning your Residence Card may result in the cancellation of your permanent residency status. Leaving without a re-entry permit (including deemed re-entry) can result in loss of permanent residency
