I have just over 2 years left on my SOR and after my new PPU officers visit yesterday, they confirmed that when mine is SPENT I can travel to Asian countries. 

It is. It's what I intend to do... but I'll be doing a solo booze run first when it comes into force to test it out before I travel with others!!!

isn't the general consensus that if not a relocation it would be best to just say no regarding previous convictions?
Not saying this is a good thing to do, but the most pragmatic.

Until the new EU visa waiver arrangements come in you should have no problems.

After that, who knows.

Apologies if there is already a thread dealing with this topic. Anybody no longer on the sex offender's register had any complications with foreign travel? I'm specifically referring to holiday travel, visa on arrival. I'm aware of the difficulties that will always remain with some destinations and relocating.  I would just want to concentrate on people who have travelled whilst on the register  and have again travelled now they are not required to notify. Thanks
