Questions & Answers
Can I leave the country while a criminal case is ongoing?
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have a criminal case in progress regarding a check issued after my bank account was closed. There was another case for the same issue in civil court.
I won the execution case in civil court because the check was stolen. However, the criminal case is still ongoing.
My question is, can I apply to leave the country temporarily while the criminal case is ongoing? If so, how will this work?
Thanks!
Dear Questioner,
If the criminal case is ongoing, they may issue a travel ban.
We need to check the status of the case and let you know.
Please send your case number and a copy of your passport.
For more information, please call us!
Dear Questioner,
You can travel if the judge issues a decision to lift the travel ban because you are often banned from traveling now.
The judge may agree to lift the travel ban if you can provide a financial or personal guarantee.
