Maybe the confusion is that it is illegal to not do your service (I mean, that's what "obligatory" means) but that's unrelated to where you live, and again, a common rule in most countries with obligatory service that I know of. I don't know how serious a crime that is, except as the blogger points out you can't renew your passport.
- kragen 3y agohe also pointed out that they prosecute you and fine you 500 dollars (which sounds a lot milder than i think it actually is in a country where 3500 dollars is a normal yearly income) > Facebook is also how I found out what happens if you avoid military service completely (& illegally), which is what I was planning to do. What happens is you fly back home after you are 30 years old (that's past the age cut off for service), you get a lawyer, go to a military court, you plead guilty & pay $500. And finally, for your crime of military desertion you are barred from running for parliament. All of this is what you skip when paying this new $5000 thing. it's true that he doesn't use the words 'prosecute' and 'punish', just the words 'military court', 'plead guilty', 'crime', and 'barred from running for parliament', which i think pretty strongly imply prosecution and punishment?
