Can a U.S. felon travel to France?

Answer by  vgmaster937 (11)

A convicted felon can travel to France under certain conditions. As long as the felon is not under probation or parole, a United States felon is free to travel to any country of his or her choice.

A convicted felon can leave the United States and travel to France, depending on the type of felony that have. If you have a passport and are not on probation or parole then you should be able to. It's all based on your criminal record.

Under current regulations, yes (provided sentencing/probation/parole terms don't specifically forbid it and the parole officer/judge signs off). Some countries won't without special permits (Canada) or deny visas, but a short visit to Europe should work. To be safe, check with the French consulate before traveling.

Usually, after you serve your time and are allowed to hold a passport again. Check with the French Consulate to make sure they're won't be problems on their end.
