I am looking for answers to being able to apply for a residency permit in Spain or Portugal if you have a a RSO criminal record.Will the application be denied automatically or is each case different depending on charges, year of offense, and sentence served ? I will retire in 2022 and I’d love to live in Spain or Portugal and be able to travel throughout Europe. I have been to both countries in 2019 and I speak Spanish.There is also the ETIAS visa program to deal with at the end of 2022.Will ETIAS make it harder for RSO’s to travel to Europe ? Any insight is appreciated.Thanks.
From what I know (granted, dealing with Ireland before they changed their laws and with Germany) you will probably be most successful in getting the VISA if you are already there under a tourist VISA. When I spoke to the Consulate General of Ireland, he told me it would be highly unlikely I could get a VISA beforehand (I was being offered a job there at the time.) It seems that continental Europe is less likely to have issues with us as long as the crime was some time ago. Check out Common Sense Laws channel on Youtube.
Thanks very much Paul!! Appreciate your hard work for us all

Ps. HIGHLY recommend older travelers to ROAD SCHOLAR Travel group-for over age 50 folks-we had a trip booked to Spain in May that was cancelled. We got ALL our money back-/including the $290 “cancel for any reason” travel insurance. These folks are THE BEST!

The Virgin islands is a US territory and is not subject to Angle Watch notifications. That said, according to the VI criminal
code a registrant must notify local police if their stay is greater then 3 days.

how possible is it to travel to jamaica with 1 count CP. Off probation for 3 years
Does anyone have any experiences with traveling to St. Maarten? I am an RSO and have been off probation for over 4 years. My brother has invited my wife and I to go with them later in the year and wasn’t sure what the procedure is for visiting either the French or the Dutch side.
Any help or experiences would be very much appreciated.

Let me know what you find out about Spain.
Can Sex Offenders can travel to Maldives? My husband already off probation since 2008. I hope someone can reply my comment. Thank you
We have no current data on the Maldives.
I need to renew my passport which expires in Dec 2020. I was removed from the North Carolina registry in 2015.
How do I deal with the passport application instructions about “sex tourism” ?
You should have no more problems. Just apply for the passport like any
other citizen
