With Donald Trump's new felony status comes a multitude of consequences for the ex-president, including travel restrictions from 37 countries that usually ban American felons.
Former President Trump has often labeled foreigners as "criminals" and campaigned on a pledge to tighten travel restrictions, close the border, and impose travel bans on individuals from certain nationalities and ideologies.
Now, many of these countries have the choice to deny him entry due to his criminal status - including Mexico, which Donald Trump often says 'sends criminals to the U.S.'
Each country has the power to decide when and how to let foreigners in. They consider factors such as the nature of the crime, when it happened, and the length of the sentence.

In some cases, foreign governments might decide to make an exception for Trump if he asked for special permission as president to visit. However, it's unclear if Donald Trump would want that, since he has previously threatened Britain's Prince Harry with deportation for 'taking advantage' of the immigration system using his title.
Former President George W. Bush, who had a drunk driving arrest in the 1970s, faced challenges with Canadian travel restrictions during his presidency. He was planning an official state visit and had to apply for a special waiver, which eventually allowed him to enter Canada.

What other rights can Trump lose as a felon?
Ex-President and convicted felon Donald Trump is on the brink of losing his gun license due to his new criminal status, according to a representative from the New York Police Department.
Following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, a high-ranking police official disclosed to CNN that the New York City Police Department is preparing to revoke Trump's gun license. It's a federal offense for a convicted felon to own a firearm.
Throughout the United States, some of the general rights convicted felons lose vary state by state, but here's a look at what rights Donald Trump may be facing next:
- Voting
- Traveling abroad (see below for full list of 37 countries that ban U.S. felons like Donald Trump)
- The right to bear arms or own guns
- Jury service
- Employment in certain fields (but still not disqualified from becoming president)
- Public social benefits and housing
- Parental benefits

In the meantime, Trump, the probable GOP front-runner, faces an extensive appeal process, and several other criminal cases. Of course, he's still running his 2024 Presidential campaign.
After more than nine hours of deliberation over two days, a jury in Manhattan found Trump guilty on May 30, 2024, of falsifying business documents related to a quiet money payout made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels amid the 2016 presidential campaign.
