Can a person with a criminal record go abroad?

Whether a person with a criminal record can go abroad is not prohibited by our laws. The key lies in the visa requirements of the destination country. You can't go to that country if you need to provide a criminal record. Article 12 of the Exit and Entry Administration Law stipulates that China citizens are not allowed to leave the country under any of the following circumstances:

(4) Being subject to criminal punishment for obstructing the administration of the country (border) or being repatriated by other countries or regions for illegal exit, illegal residence or illegal employment, and not allowed to leave the country within the prescribed time limit; (five) may endanger national security and interests, the relevant competent departments of the State Council decided not to leave the country;

(6) Other circumstances under which exit from the country is prohibited by laws and administrative regulations.
