Former President Donald Trump could face travel bans from countries like the United Kingdom and Canada if his felony conviction is upheld. A Manhattan jury recently found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying records related to payments made to Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. Trump is expected to appeal the conviction, but its outcome may not be determined before the November election. If Trump wins the presidency while still a felon, these countries would need to decide whether to make an exception for his official visits.
Many nations, including Canada and the UK, have stringent policies regarding the entry of individuals with criminal records. Canada’s regulations, for instance, typically deem US citizens with felony convictions inadmissible for immigration or visitation purposes. Similarly, under UK law, felons face restrictions when visiting Ireland and Scotland, and Britain can bar their entry entirely. Other countries, such as Israel and Australia, also have laws concerning the entry of felons, which could complicate Trump’s international travel if he wins the upcoming election.
