I know a registered person who failed to listen to me
he emailed the Phils embassy, they never got back to him,
he scheduled flight from SFO to phils

In SFO refused to allow him to board and Phils Airline handed him the blacklist order
so as far as that goes emailing an Embassy and asking questions and admitting he was a RSO, ended his chances of ever getting back in Just sayin open pandoras box

If you are on the Angel Watch list(minor victim), you will still be reported as arriving. That is a federal list, having nothing to do with state lists.

I think that is completely separate from the registry. That was an International agreement between countries to share information. Also, believe it or not, on this matter, it is not just sex offenders. Some countries like the U.K and Canada ban almost all felons with some exceptions.
I know when I use to travel in Europe, you could go all over Europe without a passport, it was just getting through airports customs that was the hassle. After it got even worse, I shredded my passport.

Yes. The Federal Govt. has its own list, of which you found out the hard way. In fact, your State’s list is only there because of Federal Grant money.

The U.S. say’s they aren’t stopping you from traveling just informing your destination country about your past criminal history no matter how long in the past it was. They say it’s not their fault you can’t get in but they fail to mention they do have incentives in place for countries that refuse registrants access like the Philippines.

I have never heard of anyone blacklisted because they contacted the embassy prior to travel.

I’ve been to Vietnam and Taiwan since my RSO, but I’m not on Megan’s List since my offense didn’t involve children. From what I understand I may not be impacted by Asian country travel.

Though I am still not allowed to go to countries that share the database like Canada, MX, UK, etc.
