I’ve been trying to find something factual online with much difficulty in finding anything solid on travel as a RSO.
About 7 and a half years ago I was convicted of 2 low level felonies that the state deemed me non violent and non predatorial upon release from state DOC. However I am a level 3 due to that states laws and the static 99 (past measuring tool).
I’m wanting to travel outside the US to Europe, Ireland and possibly Norway as that’s where my ancestors came to the US from. However everything online says one thing here and the opposite on the next page.
I’ve also thought about moving to another country to try and start fresh However I’m not 100% sure which route I want to take yet.
Any advice, experiences with travel, or anything would be extremely helpful
Hi Geoffrey,
I’m new to this blog as of today and saw your post. I hope this info helps, although it’s late. I can assure you that if you have the stamp on your passport that you are an RSO, you will not get into Ireland. The UK has a blanket policy. I flew into Heathrow to attend the coronation of King Charles and they never let me get past security. I was in a holding room all night and was escorted to an airplane to fly home the next day. They wouldn’t even let me hold my passport when I got on the plane. They handed it to a flight attendant who then gave it to me when I got back to the U.S. I have a case that dates back 25 years and it was a Class C felony. I have been able to travel to Norway, Germany, Austria, Poland, France and several other of the Schengen nations. Unfortunately the UK is out of question. In fact, I just returned from Europe two weeks ago and my flight from Warsaw to Amsterdam to the US was cancelled due to weather. They then put me on a flight from Warsaw to London to the U.S. and I refused it because I knew that I would have to go through passport control when I got to Heathrow, even though it was a connecting flight. I then had them to put me on a flight that went from Warsaw to Paris to the U.S. I take this very seriously and want to help others. I hope this helps.
