    Bankruptcy and travelling abroad

    If you are bankrupt you must:

    • obtain the written consent of the Official Receiver if you want to travel to Great Britain or the Republic of Ireland
    • apply to the court for leave if you wish to travel to any other country

    If you remain outside Northern Ireland with the consent of the Official Receiver or the leave of the court for longer than two weeks, you must inform the Official Receiver of the address you are staying at and of every change of address during your stay.
