Can I Still Travel Overseas After I File for Bankruptcy

If you subsequently remain compliant and do what is required of you after your bankruptcy discharge, then the answer is yes.

To travel abroad, you must apply to the trustee in your bankruptcy case for permission. You will be charged a $150 government fee for this service. Once you have received written permission to travel, you can go.

To travel, you must complete a one-page form informing the trustee of your destination and expected arrival date.

In some cases, the trustee may ask for a copy of your passport. There is nothing to worry about; you will be able to get it back when you want to travel. This rule is only in effect to prevent high-flyers from skipping the country.

Bankrupts who do not remain compliant with the requirements of their bankruptcy are denied travel. On a daily basis, we receive calls about such denials, which are heartbreaking for the individuals involved.
