Can a convicted FELON leave the USA ??
And even if I can, will Japan let me in. I once knew a guy who tried to enter Canada but was turned away when the Border agent ran a background check on him at the gate. I'd hate to travel 9000 miles only to be sent back...
Answer:
I believe so, the hard part is getting the visa to japan.
yes
Of coures you may obtain a passport,as long a your not running from the police
I would contact your local parole office. Then with his or her blessing, contact your nearest Japanese Embassy here in the U.S. You indeed, could have a problem.
Only if you promise to never come back.
Yes and good riddance.
You can stay in Japan for up to 3 months without a visa.
If you are not on probation or parole you should be able to leave the US for travel.
The only problem you might have is that Homeland Security is linking all the various data bases and you might get flagged. I can't remember if the arrival card you fill out for Japanese Customs and Immigration asks about criminal convictions. If it does, or if the Japanese Customs and Immigration ask you about having a criminal record for God's sake do NOT lie.
You can get a passport, all the passport is to show your citizenship and great federal identification. But its up to the receving country to allow you in or not.
