Pöördusite Eesti Vabariigi õiguskantsleri poole seoses Eestis elanud inimese elamisloa
tühistamisega ning palusite osutada kaasabi tema õiguste kaitsel. Teile teadaolevalt ei ole
inimesele tutvustatud elamisloa tühistamise otsust ning takistatud on õiguskaitsevahendite
kasutamine, sh õigus pöörduda kohtusse.
Asja uurimisel selgus, et Eesti Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet toimetas Teie kirjas nimetatud inimesele
elamisloa kehtetuks tunnistamise otsuse kätte e-kirjaga 08.06.2023 ning inimene vaidlustas selle
otsuse kohtus 23.06.2023.
Eesti Vabariigi põhiseaduse § 146 kohaselt mõistab õigust ainult kohus, kes oma tegevuses
sõltumatu ja mõistab õigust kooskõlas põhiseaduse ja seadustega. Kohtu sõltumatuse põhimõtet
kordab ka õiguskantsleri seaduse § 25, mis välistab õiguskantsleri menetluse asjas, kus toimub
kohtumenetlus. Seega puudub õiguskantsleri antud asjas sekkumise võimalus, aga ka vajadus, sest
kohus on tõhus viis oma õiguste kaitsmiseks.
Loodan, et selgitustest on abi.

Ms. Moskalkova,
You addressed the Chancellor of Justice of the Republic of Estonia regarding the annulment of a
residence permit for a person who was residing in Estonia and sought assistance in safeguarding
their rights. According to your information, the person was not informed of the decision to annul
the residence permit, and the use of legal remedies, including the right to appeal to the court, was
obstructed.
Upon investigation, it was found that the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board delivered the
decision to annul the residence permit to the individual via email on 8 June 2023. Subsequently,
the person contested this decision in court on 23 June 2023.
According to § 146 of the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia, the administration of justice is
vested solely in the court, which must act independently and in compliance with the constitution
and laws. The principle of judicial independence is also emphasized in § 25 of the Chancellor of
Justice Act, which precludes the Chancellor of Justice from engaging in cases that are subject to
court proceedings. Therefore, there is no possibility or need for the Chancellor of Justice to
intervene in this matter since the court already provides effective means of protecting one's rights.
I hope these explanations are helpful.
/digitally signed/
Ülle Madise
The Chancellor of Justice of the Republic of Estonia
