Former president Donald Trump is now technically banned from 37 countries which prohibit convicted felons from entry. The United States also observes this law, which brings the total up to 38, according to World Population Review.
Trump would have to seek special permissions to enter many of these countries, which are crucial locations on the POTUS’ travel circuit.
Countries that follow this ban include the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada (which is set to host the 67 Summit in 2025), as well as China, Israel, and Mexico. These countries maintain their bans regardless of whether the felon is permitted to hold onto their passport after the ruling.

As Valuetainment previously reported, Trump is the first president in US history to face a criminal trial, and it was the first of the four legal cases against Trump to go to trial. He has been found guilty of 34 felony counts (11 related to the checks, 11 on monthly invoices Cohen submitted to the Trump Organization, and 12 related to entries in the ledger for Trump’s trust) of falsifying business records in the first degree, in connection with the alleged $130,000 “hush money” payment made by Cohen to porn star Daniels in 2016.
The charges were first brought against him by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whom Republicans (including Trump) have deplored as “Soros-backed.” Bragg’s campaign received about $500,000 from a group that had received $7 million from a Soros organization in 2022.
The trial revolved around whether Trump obfuscated his business records by listing the reimbursement payments to Cohen as “legal expenses” in his ledgers. Trump could face probation or years in prison should he be sentenced, the hearing for which is set for July 11th.
