NOTE: You should consult an attorney to discuss the facts of your particular case.

Virginia can and will request extradition for probation violations but the decision can be both fact and jurisdiction-specific. Each Commonwealth's Attorney's Office weighs the costs and benefits of pursuing extradition based on the underlying case. To understand what goes into that decision generally, see the Virginia Extradition Manual, available at: http://www.commonwealth.virginia.gov/judicialsystem/extraditions/extraditionManual.pdf

While the Commonwealth does bear the up-front costs of extradition, if found guilty, Virginia Code Section 19.2-112 states that the defendant is assessed the extradition costs and expenses.

If a Capias (warrant) has been issued alleging a probation violation, if you are stopped for something as minimal as a speeding ticket in another state, you may be arrested and the extradition process would begin. In Virginia, a capias issued for probation violation(s) is valid for 7 years. In the long run, it may be worth it to get back and face the charge before you get dragged back in handcuffs and run the risk of footing the bill.

For misdemeanor violations, most states I do believe VA will not bother with it. It cost them upwardly of $5000.00 to do that and they just don't care. Just stay out of VA and any place near here. Check with an attorney to make sure.

If you are referring to a criminal FTA - all US states and territories honor each others requests for extradition - there are no 'safe-haven' states - it is impossible to know with certainty whether a particular state will choose to extradite you or not, there are simply too many variables. It may depend on the offense and the seriousness of it and/or how badly they want you returned - most states WILL extradite for felony offenses.
