DUI Travel Restrictions

In addition to the widely known consequences of a DUI conviction, such as license revocation, incarceration, and fines, there are other effects which could interfere with one’s life. The individual convicted of this crime may lose certain rights and privileges that he or she previously held. This may include the freedom to travel outside the United States, which might be revoked in the event of a DUI conviction.

Given the severity of the criminal consequences attached to a DUI conviction, it is critically important that you seek experienced legal representation immediately. Contact the Arizona DUI attorneys of Thompson & Volquardsen, P.C., at 602-510-9999 to learn more about your legal rights and to begin building a case.

Limitations on Travel

Though Arizona DUI is most commonly prosecuted as a misdemeanor, even a misdemeanor conviction is significant enough for many countries to bar or limit entry. This depends on that nation’s immigration standards. As a result of a conviction, a person can face the following problems when traveling to a foreign country:

  • Lost or changed immigration status, including deportation
  • Disallowed entry into the country
  • Time limitations inside the country

Although many nations have laws which prohibit entry by convicted criminals, there often exists an opportunity for these individuals to argue their case or amend their immigration status.
