Can I go abroad if I am arrested and detained for prostitution?

Legal analysis: Whether a person in administrative detention can go abroad depends on the visa policy of the destination country and is not restricted by Chinese laws. People detained for prostitution can apply for passports and visas to travel abroad, but they cannot immigrate. A fair certificate of no criminal record is required when issuing a visa.

Legal basis: Article 13 of the Passport Law of the People's Republic of China. In any of the following circumstances, the passport issuing organ shall not issue a passport:

(a) does not have the nationality of People's Republic of China (PRC);

(two) unable to prove identity;

(3) practicing fraud in the application process;

(4) Being sentenced to a penalty and serving a sentence;

(five) the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases that cannot leave the country;

(6) Being a defendant or criminal suspect in a criminal case;

(seven) the relevant competent departments of the State Council believe that leaving the country will cause harm to national security or cause great losses to national interests. "

Being detained for prostitution belongs to administrative detention and does not belong to the above-mentioned scope of not issuing passports. Therefore, people detained for prostitution can apply for passports.
