    Not sure why the UK is included here - the travel ban is:

    • has been convicted of a criminal offence in the UK or overseas for which they have received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more
    • is a persistent offender who shows a particular disregard for the law
    • has committed a criminal offence, or offences, which caused serious harm

    Two of those look like something for the Home Secretary to decide, and good luck expecting the Home Secretary to make any sense.

      I am a convicted felon who has visited the UK. I was never questioned about it. I entered just like everyone else without it ever being brought up.

      I’m sure it’s different everywhere. I once looked into visiting Canada and recall having to fill out a form or something, but never actually went.
