Traveling with a Violent Crime Conviction

violent-crime-conviction-travel

A violent crime conviction can affect your life in so many ways. One way that people often do not think about is travel. Many countries ask extensive questions about your criminal history and may deny a VISA to you if you have a criminal record.

Imagine planning a trip with friends, family or even for work and being denied a VISA based on your criminal record. That would be extremely embarrassing and frustrating.

While there are many countries which may disqualify you, the major ones to consider are:

  • Canada
  • UK
  • Australia
  • New Zealand
  • China
  • Japan

If you plan to travel internationally, don’t plead guilty to any criminal charges unless you speak with us first.

Traveling to Canada

One of our favorite referrals that we like to make is to Kayla Lee. She is a great criminal defense attorney in Canada. She has worked miracles for our clients who need to get into Canada. Her law firm website is: https://kylalee.ca/

Even a non-violent, no accident DUI can spell trouble at the border with Canada.
