Do foreigners get deported after they finish their sentence here? And are they ever allowed back in?
I knew a guy got busted here years ago, but I imagine he would have tried to stay here if he could…

Are you worried he’s coming after you?
Did you put him in there?
wow, that’s jumping the gun a bit eh?
What?! There was a gun involved? This is a grizzly story.
Bear with me…
It depends on the crime.
If it is drugs possession the Canadian is in trouble for, then depending on the seriousness of the crime it is possible to do rehab and be let go, back into the folds of society.
Other cases depend on factors such as type of crime, visa type, residence status, whether you are married or have family here - that kind of thing. I think it is basically the prosecutor who will push for deportation upon the conclusion of a successful case - and they nearly always do, and it is at the prosecutor’s discretion to withdraw his or her request for deportation due to extenuating circumstances of the defendant, or it is up to the presiding judge to consider deportation based on final sentencing.
Upon sentencing, they will say whether you are going to be deported or not.

The guy got busted for a Romeo scam. When last i heard (from cable TV report), he’d just been arrested, so no idea if they found him guilty, or of what. The news report suggested he might be a bigamist, or that he might be in trouble merely from having to promised to marrry various women. In the West I imagine it would be a non-crime, but not so here in Taiwan…
Oh god not Shane again…
Shane Lipscombe?
Don’t you mean Simon Templar?
That’s the name he operated under. Not his real name, I think. What happened to him?
ok, just did a search and found him in the open thread. looks like my next Q might be about visiting people in prison!
and amazingly, my guess was right - he did come back a second time. “A dog returneth to its vomit,” is the Biblical chengyu that springs to mind…

Sorry it took so long to respond. I haven’t checked this forum in a while.
One of the posters here, Omniloquacious, posted some information about that in 2004:
Another poster, bob_honest, visits or has visited someone in prison. He posted some information about it here:
Hope this helps.

It depends on the type of crime.
If it is an idcitiable offence, such as murder, trafficking of drugs or arms he may be barred from returning as his presence constitutes a threat of peace.
If it is a petty crime, assault, theft, very likey to return.
Hope it answers your question
Idcitiable offence? Huh? 
Are you trying to say indictable offense? Back to law school cub! 
indictable offense n. a crime (offense) for which a grand jury rules that there is enough evidence to charge defendant with a felony (a crime punishable by death or a term in the state penitentiary). These crimes include murder, manslaughter, rape, kidnapping, grand theft, robbery, burglary, arson, conspiracy, fraud, and other major crimes such as trying to manufacture or use a fake ARC in order to reside and/or work in Taiwan illegally.
