Can I leave the country if I am on bail?

Question

If someone is on bail in the Uk I should have said.

Answer 1

"In the UK" (Not the US, which has totally different laws), if there is no order for a restriction of your movements, you can travel abroad. The only time it would be an offence is if you have an order to remain in the country or have to report to the police on a regular basis. As long as no restriction order has been applied to any bail conditions, you can come and go freely. However, if you do have any conditions attached to the bail, you will be caught at the airport and face extra charges. All Ports get notified of all people with movement conditions attached to bail.

PS - For all those Yanks that think they know UK Law, you're totally wrong! Those with Bail have not been found guilty of any crime and are usually allowed "freedom of movement" as under UK Law, they are still deemed innocent. The only ones that are barred from travelling abroad are those that could be a threat abroad, are likely to commit crime abroad (football hooligans) and / or those that are deemed likely to abscond due to the seriousness of the charges against them. Normal practice is for the Judge to order the defendant to give up his / her passport. However, common practice is to remand them to prison until the trial date, if there is a threat of absconding. UK citizens usually have the right to go on holiday if they have not yet been committed (found guilty) of any offence. Therefore, if you have had no bail restrictions regarding your movements, such as reporting to the police, a curfew and / or travelling, you can leave the country with no problem whatsoever, just make sure you're back for your Court Hearing LOL

No you would be consider jumping your bail because they will consider that as in you are not going to come to your next court hearing. The only way I believe you could leave the country is if you went to the court and had a good reason to leave (ie dying/dead parents or immendiate family only) you would most definately have to talk that over with the court first to

You should get all the limitations of your bail before you leave the premises. People get into trouble by mistake this way. Call now and ask your attorney to find out specifically what the limits are - or you might make a mistake you'll really regret.

Answer 5

I'm surprised you didn't have to turn in your passport as a condition of getting bail.

You *can* leave the country while on bail, but typically it's not legal to.

Answer 6

Depends of the condition from your bail.

Answer 7

i think of it relies upon on the circumstances of bail eg soccer hooligans might have circumstances that they might't return and forth, incredibly to international places with huge fits arising. in case you have had to provide up your passport etc. the superb element is to ascertain along with your bail officer.

Answer 8

I think that would be considered "jumping bail", and it's probably not a good idea. Why don't you run it by your bondsman?
