Trips abroad - What happens

Hi everyone,
Just thought I would give you a little update, my son went to Europe last week with his grandad. No issues going out and then when he came back customs just asked a few questions (my son has Autism so he goes to the disabilities queue) Customs were pleasant. Being on the SOR means you have to go to a customs officer, and you can't use the machines but it was all really easy and harmless.
just thought it might be useful information for others.

Why can you not use the machines? We have yet to go abroad. Just curious.
Hi, think it's because they ask you where you have been, what for and who you visited to check it matched. I'm really not sure but I read it on the unlock website.
Thank you x
It was the case a few years ago, that people on the SOR could not use the e-gates, but since we left the EU that no longer applies.
Worth remembering that they do stop people randomly as well, so just because someone is stopped and questioned, don't automatically assume its because of the SOR.

I hope it's ok to jump on this post.
Has anyone any experience of travelling abroad as a family and staying in a 'family resort' or a resort where children will be staying?
Is that allowed and does the visor contact the hotel you're staying in?

Ohh I didn't know that, yes I've been infront of people that have been checked and I just thought "random check" so it was no bother.
I don't know but it may be someting we come up with too as a family. I would talk it through with the VISOR and check the hotels terms and conditions?
