Hi all, I'm looking for people who've travelled abroad with there partner since being on the SoR.

Any issues going through the destination countries passport control? If so what type of questions? Will they know about the nature of conviction? He's been told he won't have a green notice issued to his passport and they're happy for him to travel.



what countries have people been to and what was your experience like?

would appreciate any detailed responses to this.

Thanks

My partner didn't travel abroad till after he came off of SOR in 2016, but he's had no problems since travelling to Turkey, Ireland, Italy and France.

France on the ferry no issue whilst on SOR.

I thought possibly a few extra questions on the way back in (very friendly along the lines of did you have a good time so might have been my imagination), nothing at all on the way out

The trips I mentioned were from 2017 onwards, the most recent was March last year to France. My partner said he used the first trip to Ireland almost as a test to see if he would be stopped by boarder control.

Hi,

We did Malta last year, no issues at all going out. Couldn't get through e-gate in UK but a couple of questions and he was straight through.

Hope that helps
