• A government's decision on a temporary enforcement halt or suspension of all deportations to a specific country due to for example war.
• The home country refuses to receive the person.
• The foreigner's identity was not established.
• Transport is not possible.
• Serious difficulties would arise due to the foreigner's health condition.

In some countries and cases, a person who has been asylum seeker but has received negative decision, may still be entitled to reside in the country where the person has applied for a residence permit due to such impediments, and may get a temporary or permanent residence permit.^{[ citation needed ]}
