agree  philgoddard: I'd go for port of entry, which would include ports and airports. Border crossing makes me think of arrivals by land.

  -> True, but as they are talking about leaving rather than entering, I just thought it sounded less contradictory.

Port of exit


Explanation:
If "usted salga..." it surely is not a port of ENTRY" . Just the opposite. Lots of Google hits.

neutral  Taña Dalglish: Rick, I have removed my entry for a number of reasons; However, IMO, the term is used in the generic sense:https://www.thefreedictionary.com/port of entry (A place where travelers or goods may 'enter or leave' a country under official supervision).

migration port


Explanation:
A 'puerto migratorio' would be an immigration point at the customs part of an airport, station or ferry terminal. Nowadays, the word 'migration' seems to be used more than 'immigration', referring to temporary residencies in other parts of the world.

Example sentence(s):
  • Su tiempo de permanencia, automáticamente se reinicia, siempre que, usted salga del país por puerto migratorio,aun su permanencia del país sea de poco tiempo.
  • Your time of permanence automatically begins again, whilst you leave the country through a migration port, may your time out of the country be short.

neutral  AllegroTrans: This is too vague and a classic case of a word by word translation not working
