+x+x+xHi I'm not on license. I wrote that I had been given an extended license. That was completed. However in the context of spent convictions extended licenses count as jail time. The reference to spent convictions was merely in response to JASBs comment. My situation is simple: Law enforcement has finished with me. What information about me might still appear on a border agents computer? No one is going to tell them I'm on my way. That's all done. Is there a data base upon which my name will appear when being processed as a visa exempt tourist? Does Thailand have access to a past and present list of SOs from the UK? Apart from Interpol, I am not aware of any other database, or arrangements between Britain and Thailand, to share this information. Thanks Punter Do you think that a scan of my passport would reveal my conviction given that my travel plans no longer need to be notified. I'm guessing you would say not unless they were randomly giving people additional checks. Again I think you might agree this would be unlucky. So what is it that I've seen somewhere about about sex offenders being denied entry. Is this because they've notified travel and gambled and lost? There is no physical marker on passports, which could be read by immigration in another country. There is a marker on the database at the Passport office in the UK, which would notify police if you applied for a new passport. I'm not certain if this is automatically removed when you come off the SOR, but it can't be seen by anyone outside the UK. Reports of people being refused entry are difficult to assess, because we don't know all the circumstances. What we do know, is that some countries are considered high risk, by the police, and SE Asian countries are on that list. Another thing we know is that the PPU themselves do not issue green notices. It is done at a national level and this can cause confusion, because the PPU appear not to be made aware when a green notice has been issued. Plus they don't seem to think it is their job to find out either. It's not their department, so it's not their problem. That means people who fly to these places, do not get a heads up from the PPU telling them not to go, because they will be turned away. If they did receive advance warning, then presumably, they would not bother going.
