Knowing the possible exemptions and understanding how to apply for them can save you time and relieve some of the stress associated with your travel preparations.

Visa applications often come with strict deadlines, and additional steps may be required for individuals with criminal records. This means you'll need to account for extra time in your travel preparations.
