Hi all,

It's been a long time.

It's been 2 and half years since the knock and my brother's suspended sentence finished end of March this year. Hurrah!

We, and he, would like to go holiday this summer but are unsure whether he is barred from some countries and what he should do in informing them.

He wants to go away with friends too but is scared that he'll be stopped at border control and not let in or his secret being exposed.

Has anyone got experience in this? If so, what's it like and what do we/he need to do? We were wanting to go to Spain to vist our family.

There's quite a lot about managing all of this on the unlock website

Hi billion,



I can't help with countries who won't let u in apart from America and Australia, but all u have to do is give all ur holiday details to his visor Person, they log it and no one knows at border control, we have been on holiday twice and no problems either time. His passport will just flag up to the police to say he has left the country but like our visor said as long as u inform us then there is no problems, we have only been for 7 days xx



Hope this helps I was also worried hence I asked

Dawn and K4, thank you for your help.

He took forever to renew his passport, I think because he was scared that it meant he could go on holiday and what that meant in disclosing if he did go away etc.

Blue Sky, I'm sorry you can't now visit family, we were worried about this, we have friends in the US that he now can't visit unfortunately. Does this change once he's off the register in 8 years?
