Travel

[Izzy]

Was unsure where to post this question, hope it's ok here.

I notice that some members have gone abroad and I wondered if there are any countries that you can't go to if you are charged/under investigation but you haven't been through court so there's no bail? Hope that makes sense.
We had to fill out a API form before we went away last year, but I can't remember the questions it asked.

Australia and the US come to mind.

You are allowed to go to any single country as you are innocent until proven guilty in court so if been charged but have not gone to court yet and your bail conditions allow you to still travel you can still go anywhere usa or Australia for holiday just font go tell customs your on trial that would be asking for more discrimination against yourself

You are allowed to go to any single country as you are innocent until proven guilty in court

In theory yes. In reality, no.

Merely having an allegation of sexual abuse can prevent you visiting the USA....no conviction necessary.....

[Izzy]

Have just looked into America and the question have you ever been arrested/convicted of Moral Turpitude, then had to google it I didn't know what it meant
So the arrest is enough, how depressing.

[LS]

No big deal. Is America really that exciting?

No it's not and Australia is to far

[LS]

[wunderland]

[wunderland]

WOW if the consulate says i can't go to the states on my holiday before my trial i will have to definitly cancel my trip to the usa because my lawyer said they send you back on the first plane and they stamp your passport saying you can't come back for 10 years i have been to america and it's so pretty wow it's not worth taking a risk i have to make sure im definitly allowed to go...............................dear friends Anyone's advice would be greatly appreciated or if anyone knows anymore info?

Speak to the consulate concerned and get the definitive answer. You wouldn't want to spend 5 hours on a flight, only to be put on the next one back.

I hope you manage to get it sussed out Wunderland and get away with your family.
