What are my exit options if I enter a country illegally and try to leave?

Say by crossing a border, could I just fly/drive to other countries or will I be detained at the airport/border gate, or imprisoned and returned to my country of nationality/current residence?

Specifically Iraq or Afghanistan.

Best Answer

Since you will be boarding an international flight and leaving the country you will typically need to pass through a passport control check on the departure airport.

What will happen there is highly dependent on your own nationality as well as the country you entered illegally, but you can expect that your passport will be inspected by an official and your illegal immigration status will almost certainly be discovered.

Since I can only speculate I won't say anything about the consequences of such a discovery.

Please note that airlines may also deny you boarding if and when you don't have a valid visa for your destination.
