Donald Trump now forbidden from visiting 37 countries following his conviction.

Canada, China, and Israel to Collaborate - Donald Trump now forbidden from visiting 37 countries following his conviction.

After the ruling on Thursday, it's confirmed that Donald Trump broke the law by concealing the hush money he paid to porn performer Stormy Daniels. His criminal status as a "convicted felon" raises concerns beyond the US borders. Many nations bar entry to felons. This may pose a problem for future presidents.

Since there are 37 countries with such restrictions, a U.S. president's traditional first visit to countries like Canada could be affected. Canada doesn't allow convicted felons in.

Donald Trump And 37 Countries With Entry Restrictions

With ties to several countries where convictions are scrutinized during visa applications or at borders, there could be a high-profile issue. Countries like the UK, Australia, and Israel typically block visas for people with criminal records. Others, including Brazil, China, and India, also implement this. Here's the complete list of these 16 nations:

1. Argentina
2. Australia
3. China
4. Great Britain
5. India
6. Iran
7. Israel
8. Japan
9. Kenya
10. Cuba
11. Macao
12. New Zealand
13. South Africa
14. Taiwan
15. United States

However, there are 22 other countries where such a ban exists but is not always checked. Concealed convictions may result in denied entry. Trump may come across these countries in the future.

1. Egypt
2. Ethiopia
3. Brazil
4. Chile
5. Dominican Republic
6. Hong Kong
7. Indonesia
8. Ireland
9. Cambodia
10. Malaysia
11. Morocco
12. Mexico
13. Nepal
14. Peru
15. Philippines
16. Singapore
17. South Korea
18. Tanzania
19. Tunisia
20. Turkey
21. Ukraine
22. United Arab Emirates

How Does This Affect Europe?

Trump has more leeway in Europe. Some countries like Germany might ban entry only for certain crimes, such as human trafficking or drug smuggling. There's no general entry ban for felons in the EU. However, there are exceptions. Spain denies entry if the crime is severe or recent. Italy prevents convicts who haven't finished their sentences. Ireland presents an interesting scenario, as it usually denies visas if a conviction is discovered.

Implications For Trump

The outcome of the November elections will determine if Donald Trump can ever visit these nations again. While a former U.S. president might be barred as a civilian, it's unlikely for an official presidential visit. Countries might be suggesting solutions.

Also in the U.S., convicted felons lose many rights, including the constitutional right to have a firearm. However, since Trump wasn't convicted of a violent crime, he could restore this right through an application. His voting rights, though, vary by state. In Florida, it can be taken away if the conviction was from another state. In New York, it's only taken away if he's in prison.

2. In addition to countries like Canada and Japan, China also has entry restrictions for convicted felons, making future travels for Trump complex.
3. Israel, being another nation with strict entry regulations, could pose a challenge for Trump due to his criminal status as a "convicted felon".
4. Apart from Europe, countries like Brazil and Chile from the list of 37 countries with entry restrictions for felons could also present problems for Trump in the future.
