I have read posts elsewhere that touch on this area but have not found anything that is concrete as to where an individual would stand.

If someone on the SOR notifies as per the requirements, but then whilst away, wishes to visit somewhere nearby (another jurisdiction or country), which wasn’t planned in advance, where do they stand if they are already outside the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom?

They cannot notify as they can only do so at a prescribed police station as set down by the relevant secondary legislation. So an email to their responsible officer/PPU wouldn’t suffice.

I ask as plans can sometimes change even if you wish to rebuild your life and comply with the law.

Would there be a situation where you could visit elsewhere and not be stopped at the time, but as soon as you return to the UK, you’d be hammered into the floor?

If anyone has experience of this sort of situation, which must have happened over the years, I’d really like to read your experiences, both whilst away and on return to the UK.
