Hi everyone!

I hope you're all ok? I must admit that I've been struggling recently... Not necessarily about my husbands conviction but just little bits are making me emotional. No idea why?! But saying that, my husband's PO has decided she's taking it back to court for another 5 years to be added!! I'm absolutely fuming as in 4 months time it should have been over. We had planned on going abroad once it was finished...... I'm fed up of this now ruling our lives!! ....... He spoke to his PO and she said we can still go abroad but my question is where can we can?? Does anyone know where we can stay? Do I have to check every individual hotel to check their terms and conditions? It's absolutely mind boggling! I just need a bit of guidance as neither of us have been abroad before....

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Hi,

I read a post on here about going abroad. I'll try to find and bump for you. October of this year travelling to Europe changes for those in the uk due to brexit. You will need to check terms and conditions of each resort/hotel for their restrictions but in terms of travelling you should be ok until October. Has his PO given a reason for wanting it extended? xxx Edited to add info from the legal process section xxx

For your info your partner will need to notify his PPU dept of any trips longer than 7 days ...same for going over seas..etc. PPU cannot stop anyone from travelling or staying away for long periods.... They can if they believe there is a risk flag the "arrival" country by way of a Green Notice and this allows the immigration dept of that country to either intervene or not.

Upon return back into the UK he would have to re notify within 3 days of his new address...

The UK does not share routine criminal convictions or information with foreign governments, they will issue Green Notices if they believe there is a perceived risk.

Finally for everyone considering a holiday to Europe from October 2023 you WILL require a visa (ESTA) for travel... According to HUB-UNLOCK there is a requirement to declare ANY conviction from the past 10 years...

The reason for the new visa is due to Brexit and our removal from the Schengen Intelligence System....The European block is currently rebuilding a new intelligence base and because we no longer share information they have recruited a new team based in France and this is where the intelligence will be stored .

Hub LOCK cannot as yet clarify if being on the UK SOR or with a SHPO will prevent offenders travelling from October 2023.
