Can you travel abroad if you have had a felony?

Answer 1

From what I have learned, here in the United States, it depends. If one is still on parole or other monitored restriction, such as probation, permission must be gained from the supervising authority, just to start. Then, many countries, including Canada, require either an approved visa from that country - even President Bush had to get one for a prior DUI conviction - or other admittance document. The requirements vary from country to country and some will not allow convicted felons in on any grounds. It would, in most cases, be best to check with a travel agent or attorney rather than arrive at a destination country and be turned back at customs. Additionally, I understand that travel while owing back child support or other obligations, or for certain child related convictions, prohibits leaving the US period. I am not an attorney and this answer is based solely on personal internet research and should not be relied on as definitive.

Can you travel abroad if you have had a felony?

If still on probation no. And depending on what country you travel to you might be turned away at customs. You should contact individual customs office prior to traveling or you may be turned away before you officially enter the country.

Answer 3

no because they do a background search as well as police warrants search on you from other countries.
