Can a person with a criminal record visit Europe?

Question

What countries allow someone with a drug conviction (USA) to visit for a couple of weeks?

Answer 1

you can go pretty much anywhere as long as u dont have a warrant..

Answer 2

European laws are very liberal. You don't have to worry about an old conviction. In most European countries is the usage of drugs legal. In Amsterdam you can buy hashish openly in Cafes. So, enjoy your trip.

Answer 3

This is the problem with Yahoo Answers for legal issues, you can never tell who has the correct info unless they cite the info

E.g. the above answer is completely wrong.  Drugs are not legal in Europe, and that includes hash in Amsterdam (which actually follows the laws of the rest of the country and is not a law unto itself).  Cannabis/hash is merely tolerated until a number of conditions.  Hard drugs are strictly acted upon

Anyway, I would suggest you call one or more of the embassies for the countries which you plan to vist, in advance of your visit.  This way you can ensure that you have 100% correct info and will not be refused entry upon arrival.  It should not take anymore than just a quick phonecall to get the info.

Best of luck
