out of country travel

Has any RSO traveled outside this country other than to Mexico lately?

Uk, Germany, Iceland, Sweden China, Vietnam just to mention a few, and if so were you allowed in. I know Philippines is off limits as well as Canada, plus a few others.

Some of the men and women in the groups I help with have asked and I do not have a good answer for them.

Thanks

I think, and I may be wrong, that if your passport is not flagged, you shouldn't have a problem. The only way I see it being flagged would be if you told the government where you were going. You won't do that since you don't have to.

Of course, if they do an INTERPOL search on you, it will pop up.

The trip can be taken any time before July 2015.

I'm really nervous though as my husband work folks would coordinate with us and I don't want to involve them if stuff goes down.

The alternative is I figure a way for them to go ahead and me travel on my own but I am nervous about what could happen there as well. ( being alone in a foreign country at their mercy as a SO and female)

I did read something that they'd have to run the screen - but knowing my luck I'd be randomly chosen!

Another option would be to contact their Consulate. Here is their web page.

Maybe if you are proactive, they will issue you a Visa and that will be that!
