Wasn't too sure where to post this, hopefully here is OK.

I'm looking forward (with crossed fingers) to heading off on holiday once I'm off licence next year.  I have indefinite SOR and SHPO so need to pay careful attention to the rules.  

I have made myself familiar with the travel notification process and this seems quite straightforward.  I understand that I have to notify my travel details at least 7 days in advance, and if any of these should change while I'm away e.g. canceled flight, I have to notifiy again within 3 days of my return to the UK.

However I can't find a definitive statement on the extent to which the SOR and/or SHPO requirements apply abroad.

For example, if I access the internet from the UK using my own devices no notification is required, but if I were to use the wifi at e.g. Birmingham New St, I would have to notifiy within 3 days of doing so.

With one eye on the cost of mobile data overseas, I want to know whether I am still subject to the reporting requirements if I use the wifi in a Spanish bar... if so, I will have to carry a notebook and pen around with me to keep track !!

I'm sure I read somewhere that SOR and SHPO requirements do not apply while out of the UK, but for all my googling I can't find hard and firm info.

Any help much appreciated Smile
