departure
Leaving a country, especially with the related formalities at the border. The opposite of entry.
Für die Ausreise in dieses Land benötigt man ein gültiges Visum.
A valid visa is required for departure to this country.
'Ausreise' is made up of the preposition 'aus' (out of) and the noun 'die Reise' (journey/trip). So it literally describes a 'journey out of' a country.

Departure from the Schengen Area is checked at the border.
The word belongs to the family of the verb 'ausreisen' (to leave a country). The prefix 'aus-' signals movement from inside to outside. The direct opposite is formed with the prefix 'ein-': 'die Einreise' (entry).
Viele Menschen reisen im Sommer aus, um Urlaub zu machen.

In official language, 'Ausreise' (departure) is often combined with verbs such as 'beantragen' (to apply for), 'genehmigen' (to approve), or 'verweigern' (to deny).
Dem Journalisten wurde die Ausreise ohne Angabe von Gründen verweigert.

In texts about the history of the GDR, 'Ausreise' (permission to leave) has a very specific meaning. It refers to the official permission, often difficult to obtain, to leave the country permanently. The expression 'einen Antrag auf Ausreise stellen' (to submit an application for permission to leave) is typical here.
Ihre Familie hat jahrelang auf die Genehmigung ihrer Ausreise gewartet.

'die Flucht' and 'die Ausreise' can both mean that someone leaves a place or a country. But the reason and the situation are different. 'Flucht' is used when someone leaves because there is danger, persecution, or strong pressure. 'Ausreise' is more neutral and refers to leaving a country, often with a passport, checks, or other formalities. The words can be confused when people leave a country. If the danger is the focus, 'Flucht' fits. If the official border process is meant, 'Ausreise' fits.
Vor der Ausreise kontrollierte der Beamte noch einmal die Pässe.
Before departure, the official checked the passports once more.
