Here’s all the countries Trump could be banned from after felony conviction

Trump could be banned from entering the UK after his conviction this week

Convicted felon Donald Trump may no longer be able to enter the UK and several other nations around the world.

The former president was found guilty this week of 34 counts of falsifying records to try and cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her on an alleged sexual affair.

Despite the conviction he can, somewhat surprisingly, still run for a second term as president, but a number of other rights may no longer be available to him, which would make fulfilling the role tricky.

These include travelling to certain countries that have strict rules when it comes to allowing individuals with criminal records onto their shores.

Governments can make special accommodations and it is possible officials could waive the rules if Trump wins the US election.

However, there are 37 nations across the globe who, based on their laws, could ban the Republican from crossing their border, according to the World Population Review.

These include the US, Canada, Japan, Israel, Australia, South Africa, China and Mexico.

Under UK law, anyone seeking permission to enter the country will normally be refused if they have been convicted of a criminal offence punishable by at least 12 months imprisonment.

Felons have to apply for a visa and the UK Border Agency has the discretion to decide whether the person could be a threat to the country in any way.

What US rights do convicted felons lose?

It varies state by state, but in New York, where Trump was convicted, there a ‘collateral consequences’ of being convicted of a crime.

Those with a criminal record may be barred from holding public offices, including elected positions.

Trump currently lives in Florida, but the rules are similar there.

However, despite not being able to hold public office in those states, there is nothing in the constitution that bars him from running for president.

There are three requirements to be a presidential candidate: you must be a natural born citizen, at least 35 years old and have been a US resident for at least 14 years.

Trump, who is the first former US president to become a convicted felon, meets all these requirements.

Yesterday the 77-year-old said his guilty verdict is a ‘bad thing’ and wished there was more ‘sorrow’ for him.
