utvisning

Utvisning is a Swedish term that denotes expulsion or removal of a person from a place, community or country, and can also refer to exclusion from a group or activity. The word is used in several distinct contexts, each governed by different rules and procedures. In common usage it often describes formal government actions, but it is also used in sports and in organizational discipline.

In immigration and asylum law, utvisning refers to a formal decision to expel a foreign national from the country and to prohibit re-entry for a specified period or permanently. In Sweden, such decisions are made under national legislation by authorities such as the Migration Agency and, in some cases, by courts. Grounds for utvisning can include violations of residence conditions, criminal activity, or threats to national security. The process typically involves notification, an opportunity to present a defense, and a right to appeal; enforcement may involve detention or removal procedures.

In civil and administrative contexts, utvisning can mean exclusion from a school, workplace, association, or public premises. A school may discipline a student with expulsion, while a club or organization can ban a member for misconduct. The term implies a formal removal from participation or access, with varying degrees of consequence and due process depending on the setting and applicable rules.

In sports, utvisning is the act of being removed from a match, usually through a red card issued by the referee. The sanction may be followed by disciplinary procedures and suspensions for subsequent games, depending on the competition’s rules.

Overall, utvisning encompasses formal removal or exclusion across legal, social, and sporting contexts, emphasizing due process, proportionality, and enforceability.
