It's a little difficult. The key is that visas are more difficult.

First of all, you have to apply for a passport to go abroad. Because you have served your sentence, you can of course apply for a passport and go to the exit-entry management center where your household registration is located.

The second point is the issue of visas.

1. If you are a developed country in Europe and America (such as the United States, Canada, Britain, Germany, etc., including Japan), you can apply for a visa in principle, but the probability is lower than that of ordinary people, and the probability of refusing a visa is very high.

2. If it is Thailand, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries, the visa is very easy, and the feasibility of signing out is relatively much greater. Of course, for some visa-free countries, it is even more no problem.

3, if the previous crimes, as long as it is not because of financial crimes, such as theft, credit card fraud, fraud and other criminal crimes, it is no impact to apply for a credit card now; If it is a financial crime, you can't apply for a credit card.

4. Credit cards are handled by the branches of banks. If the credit is broken by the bank because the loan is not repaid, it will be affected when handling or using the credit.

According to the provisions of the Passport Law of China: Article 13 If the applicant is in any of the following circumstances, the passport issuing organ shall not issue a passport:

(a) does not have the nationality of People's Republic of China (PRC);

(two) unable to prove identity;

(3) practicing fraud in the application process;

(4) Being sentenced to a penalty and serving a sentence;

(five) the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases that cannot leave the country.

You can go abroad if you only have a criminal record and are not restricted from leaving the country.

In theory, as long as the case has been closed and those who are not serving their sentences can go abroad. However, when many visa officers see that you have a criminal record, they will worry that you will endanger public order after entering the country, so the visa rate is not very high.

Five kinds of people who are not allowed to leave the country according to Chinese laws:

1. Defendants in criminal cases and criminal suspects identified by public security organs or people's procuratorates or people's courts;

2, the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases can not leave the country;

3, was sentenced to punishment is serving a sentence;

4. Being reeducated through labor;

5. The relevant competent authorities in the State Council believe that leaving the country will cause harm to national security or cause great losses to national interests.

What is the impact of leaving a criminal record in the Public Security Bureau?

Criminal record: generally refers to a person's past record of illegal or criminal acts. Also known as the criminal record system, in our country's law, it generally refers to the file record of criminal record, and the criminal file is generally stored in the public security department for preservation.

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the meaning of the criminal record. If it is an administrative punishment or a general fine detention, it will not have much impact on your life.

If you are detained or forced to quit for taking drugs, then your information will be entered in the national anti-drug system. When you go to a foreign country, if you stay in a hotel, there will usually be an alarm system in the local area to ask the local police station to check you. If it is reeducation through labor or shelter education, then everything will have a great impact except going abroad and transferring households.

The influence on individuals is mainly reflected in three aspects: further education, enlistment and employment. People with criminal records can't join the army, and when they are employed, they can't apply for civil servants or take judicial examinations. When applying for a job in an enterprise, you have the obligation to report your criminal record truthfully, which may affect the chances of being hired. At present, there is no specific data on the impact of further education. In addition, it will also have an impact in the process of marriage. Of course, if you are a minor, your criminal record should be sealed. Except that you can't join the army, you can't take the civil service exam and judicial exam, you don't have to report when you are employed. Of course, ordinary enterprises are not qualified to check the criminal record of that person.

I hope the above contents are helpful to you. If you have any questions, you can consult a professional lawyer.
