Yes, a convicted felon can obtain a job overseas. However, there may be a problem obtaining an employment visa from the country you wish to work in if they become aware of your felony. It is important to find out if they require a background check and if so, what type they require. Not all checks are created equally. Some countries look at the crime that you committed while others may look at the amount of time that has lapsed since your conviction. If you can expunge your record, that will help. Felony or not, the world is your oyster.

Generally speaking, yes, as long as the felon isn't violating terms of a probation.

However, it depends on the nation the felon is attempting to enter. In many cases, they will be barred from entry into other counries- not by their home nation, but the one that they want to go to.

Countries, and states within countries. decide who may own, possess and carry a gun. You must follow the law of the country (and state within a country) that you are living in or visiting.

Convicted felons in the United States may not own a gun, in some states, unless their civil rights are restored. Even if they are restored, however, a convicted felon may be prohibited from owning a gun in Another Country.
