Upon arrest, you will typically be brought before a local judge within 24–72 hours for a provisional detention hearing. The requesting state then has a limited period—often 40–60 days—to submit formal extradition documents. You have the right to legal representation in the executing country and can contest detention and extradition through local courts. Bail is possible in some jurisdictions but often refused due to flight risk concerns. The extradition hearing will examine treaty requirements, human rights issues, and procedural validity. Appeals can extend proceedings by several months depending on the jurisdiction’s court system.
