If someone travels to for example Turkey (could be anywhere) and stays for 90 days could they within that 90 days visit another country and then return to Turkey ?
You obviously need to give details to the UK police that your travelling to Turkey and intend to stay for 90 days but do you need to give them details if you visit another country for a few days if you still return from Turkey on your expected date ?
Would you need to even tell them you visited another country or even 2 other countries when you returned ?

+x+x+x+x+x+x+xWell , maybe I can help. - Are Green Notices issued to the World (even if it is conditional upon declaring such and such a country in notification), or just the declared destination country?
- Would one have been delivered to the World, even though I've only ever notified in terms of Europe?
Answers tend to vary on this, but it would be nice to see substantiated conclusive answer, as we are talking technicalities here, not discretion. A green notice is issued to the world. A green diffusion is issued to a particular country. Whether they would issue any of them depends on your risk level and that of the country you are visiting. High risk people and/or high risk countries probably would trigger a green diffusion at the very least. But if you are low or medium risk, and visiting a low or medium risk country, then it depends on how the PPU and NCA view your risk, based on what little they know about you, mainly the notes they have made from their home visits. I have read that green notices are actually incredibly rare and because 80% of people on the SOR are medium or low risk, I do not expect many are issued. 2 more data points: - Do they bother issuing green notices for Europe nowadays, or is that regarded as misapplication? They used to use the inbuild Shengen thingy during the EU days. Now do they resort to green notice or what? - I succeeded in filling out an ESTA while abroad here in Europe. Does that flush out the possibility of a Green Notice? I COULD just fly back home (from here in Germany) and wait till August when I'm of the register to go to USA, but that's bad for business, so I'm trying to logically deduce if I might be de facto "off the register" as far as concerns possible travel to USA. Since none of the EU countries are high risk, then a green notice would only be issued if your own personal risk was high. A green notice is only advisory, so it does not stop you from getting in to the USA. It leaves the final decision to local immigration officers. I actually don't know if my own risk is high. Since getting out of jail I was told it was high, that was 10 years ago. Since then the officers visit less frequently giving the impression of less risk. But how official that is I don't know. They give the impression of being totally disinterested, now coming once every 6 months. So I stand before you now in Europe, legally entitled (as far as Britain is concerned) to go to USA. And possibly very able to do so if there are no notices out, especially as I just succeeded at getting a Canadian ETA. Just evaluating the stakes. if they are visiting every 6 months, it means your risk is medium. October 20th to April 3rd was the last. Down from once every ~10-12 weeks. So unless I rock the boat in that regard, the guidelines would be against them issuing a green notice to USA even if I did notify? Exceptions would be if I'm going to the carve out a career in childhood photography in the land of the free etc.
When I spoke to my PPU about green notices she said they are considered on a case by case basis.
She did say that they would let me know if they were issuing a green notice. Whether this is the same for all PPU's and police forces I don't know
