International travel for convicted felons

You can travel round europe no problem.
I know this as I'm still on conditional discharge and went to spain and egypt for holiday as soon as I got out.

Its only going to USA, Canada and Australia that's a problem as they're boring and won't let you in even if you have something like shoplifting or D&D lol

Sexual abuse of a minor and you lot think that this is ok.

Go be religious somewhere else I have never been religious in my life. I do not believe in any religion never have and never will.
But sexual abuse of a minor come on if it was my child I would hang the b~~~~~d

I suppose you would hang the school teacher that went to jail twice and then married the student and had his baby too?
I am not for it either but you can't make blanket statements against things.

We're not "boring"...just trying to keep out the criminals like you. We have enough of them here and don't need more. "even if you have something like shoplifting or D&D" Are you comparing "drink driving" (as I believe they call it in europe) to shoplifting? Shoplifting doesn't kill people.

I have recently been released from incarceration with the FED system. Yes I am a convicted felon and always will be. There simply is no such thing as an "ex-con", lol. I had never been arrested in my life until I was 36 years old. It seems like many folks on here are simply tossing around their opinions. These are the restrictions and procedures that I know of and they are strait from the horses mouth, my probation officer.
As a federally convicted felon you are restricted to no travel outside of your district for the first six months. Once you have made it past the six month mark, you do not need any permission to move about the U.S. If you desire to travel outside of the U.S for travel you must petition the federal judge that did your original sentencing.
Now as far as a passport well I had to surrender my passport to the U.S. Marshal's when I had posted bond at my bond hearing, they gave me 24 hours to do so. When I was released from prison, I simply went to the U.S. Marshal office where I had surrendered the passport and they simply gave it right back to me.
Some of you people on here seem to really have some bitter stigma towards felons. Maybe like myself, you really had no idea of what the federal government is charging tax paying, business owning, U.S. Citizens with now a days. Maybe you do not realize what the true definition of "conspiracy" really does entail. It is actually quite scary to say the least.
So, with that said, I will see you folks in southern France next winter where I have always liked to spend my hard earned U.S. Dollars on vacation!

Ok so what about at the border if you are from USA going to France, Poland, etc. Do they ask you questions about a criminal record or what? If they do and you tell them are you turned away? If you say no does it matter. I am talking about 2 misdemeanors, trying to go for less than 90 days. I just want to know if I am going to be asked, if I never can go anywhere in the world again. I don't want to lie, but I don't want my world to be small again.

If you have a passport you can go anywhere in the world with your passport and a felony conviction with the exception of Canada and maybe Australia As far as Europe goes You can fly into Schipol Airport in the Netherlands and go wherever you want. The EU no longer has border checkpoints between the member nations its just like driving from one state to another in the U.S. They do not have the Militarty mentality of law enforcement like the united states does and they actually are curteous and they don't try to intimidate like so many of our law inforcement "professionals" do here. You will not be asked "Papers Please" they still remember the Nazi occupation. One exception to that rule is if your are of Middle eastern descent you may be asked to identify yourself. But just show that U.S. Passport and it should stop there. So all in all its a don't ask don't tell policyyou should have no problems.

Sorry I happen to come across this post - are you serious? When was the last time you were in europe? I was last there 2003 and this was not true at all - I can imagine its gotten that much more open with the security situation these days - anyone more recent travel bettwen european countries?

My son who is a convicted felon was stopped by the Canadian customs arriving via a ferry from Maine in 9/2007. He was traveling with his parents. It took $200 for problem to go away. The U.S. Border crossing was just as bad. They stopped us. They exerted lots of attitude but never search our vehicle. Both were cases of state approved harassment.
