Donald Trump, a convicted felon, may no longer be allowed to enter the UK and dozens of other countries around the world.

The former president was found guilty this week of 34 counts of falsifying records to try and cover up a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels to silence her on an alleged sexual affair.

  5. Canada
  6. Chile
  7. China

These include traveling to certain countries that have strict rules regarding allowing individuals with criminal records onto their shores.

Governments can make special accommodations, and it is possible officials could waive the rules if Trump wins the US election.

However, there are 37 nations across the globe who, based on their laws, could ban the Republican from crossing their border, according to the World Population Review.

These include the US, Canada, Japan, Israel, Australia, South Africa, China, and Mexico.

Under UK law, anyone seeking permission to enter the country will normally be refused if they have been convicted of a criminal offense punishable by at least 12 months imprisonment.

Felons have to apply for a visa, and the UK Border Agency has the discretion to decide whether the person could be a threat to the country in any way.

What US rights do convicted felons lose?

It varies state by state, but in New York, where Trump was convicted, there are ‘collateral consequences’ of being convicted of a crime.

Those with a criminal record may be barred from holding public offices, including elected positions.

However, despite not being able to hold public office in those states, there is nothing in the constitution that bars him from running for president.

There are three requirements to be a presidential candidate: you must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and have been a US resident for at least 14 years.

Trump, who is the first former US president to become a convicted felon, meets all these requirements.

Yesterday the 77-year-old said his guilty verdict is a ‘bad thing’ and wished there was more ‘sorrow’ for him.
