    Can a drug felon go to germany?
    I have a man. Meth as a party to a crime felony. My probation is completed, and I have never had any other criminal charges. My boyfriend is stationed in Germany and wants me to go. How do I go about this?

    You get a US passport which allows you to leave the Country (basically). Then you check to see if you can enter Germany with a felony record involving drugs.

    "Cleared for Travel
    Once you have successfully completed probation or parole, the U.S. government will not restrict you from traveling internationally. However, when you fly abroad, you have to obey the rules of the nation to which you are traveling. Some countries specifically prohibit felons from entering, and officers will meet you at your gate when you arrive. Airlines recommend contacting the U.S. consulate in the country to which you are traveling. Germany does not specifically prohibit felons from entering but does reserve the right to refuse entry to felons.

    Germany is a member of the Schengen Agreement, which was signed in 1985. The Schengen area encompasses 25 European countries, and all of them operate under one external border per the agreement. As a U.S. citizen, you can enter Germany for up to 90 days, for personal reasons or business, without a visa and travel between any of the 25 countries that signed the agreement without having to go through border control again."
