Can people with criminal records apply for passports to go abroad?

You can go abroad as long as you are not restricted from leaving the country. China citizens with criminal records can access the background database of the embassy when applying for a visa. You don't need to wrap it or hide it. All you have to do is try to prove that you are right to go abroad. If the labor visa is not approved, try a tourist visa or a business visa again. Generally speaking, the pass rate of business visas may be higher.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with traveling abroad, but it depends on the decision of the visa country. According to different visa policies in different countries, it is possible to refuse a visa on the grounds of having a criminal record.

China's law also stipulates that there are five kinds of people who are not allowed to leave the country:

1, defendants in criminal cases and criminal suspects identified by public security organs or people's procuratorates and people's courts;

2, the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases can not leave the country;

3, was sentenced to punishment is serving a sentence;

4. Being reeducated through labor;

5. The relevant authorities in the State Council believe that leaving the country will cause harm to national security or cause great losses to national interests. (Mainly refers to those who have worked in key departments such as state secret organs or cutting-edge science and have mastered important secrets such as politics, economy and military science. )

What's the impact of having a criminal record?

1. Administrative punishment, generally fine detention, has little impact on life.

2. If you are detained or forced to give up drugs, your personal information will be entered into the national drug control system. If you go abroad and stay in a hotel, there will usually be an alarm system in the local area to ask the local police station to investigate. (drug abuse, no longer! )

3. Reeducation through labor or shelter education, then, except going abroad and changing households, everything else will have a great impact.

4. Criminal record. When criminal cases occur in the future, people with criminal records will be the key targets of investigation first, and it is basically impossible to join the party. If you go abroad, there should be no problem with traveling. For other purposes (such as immigration), the visa issuing country may refuse the visa on the grounds of criminal record (only possible, depending on the policies of different countries). After taking the teacher's certificate, you may not pass the file review, and so do civil servants and institutions. There is no problem in starting a business. If you want to work in an enterprise, some enterprises will ask for information about punishment (if required, you must fill it out truthfully, and honesty is also a stepping stone), while others will not. Loans are generally not a problem.
