Holidays and BR

adpod

Hi

My partner wants to take me on a small break for my birthday, we will be away for 2 nights but still in the UK, do I have to tell the OR if it is a domestic holiday for 2 days?

Hi,

Are you specifically expecting telephone contact from the OR i.e. the telephone interview? Most correspondence is in writing, so they cannot expect you to jump.. Is there anything special about your BR status, that makes you think being away from home will be a problem?

No I have had my interview (in person) last month and he said I would need to contact them if I am going on holiday to europe and provide evidence of whos paying for it etc and if I wanted to go outside europe I would need to go to court and ask permission but he never said anything about staying in the UK?

That's because you can go on holiday in the UK. They even give you a monthly allowance to save for one....a budget one.... The allowance would not pay for an overseas holiday so they want to know who's paying.

Hi adpod are you from NI?

If you are, Northern Ireland does have different rules, and it looks like you do need permission from the OR to travel to GB or Republic of Ireland.

Hi adpod,

Assuming you were not declared in the NI (Rules are different there) travel in the UK is fine, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything unusual regarding your circumstances before making a sweeping statement.

Ah I see from my emails someone has beaten me to it..

I've just come across this post and wondered if anyone here could help me, I am currently in the process of going bankrupt. I currently have a holiday booked to go to America in September, a family member has paid and they are aware that I will not be able to make any payments due to my current circumstances but they would still like me to go. Is this likely to cause me any problems?

Probably not, as someone else is paying for your holiday.

I think some of the interest shown by ORs with regards to holidays focusses on pre-booked holidays, booked by the BR themselves..and paid for {pre-BR].

Not because 'holidays are not allowed'......which is nonsense......but because the OR may try to recover some of the holiday costs, via cancellation...for the BR estate.

Also, a check is made on large outlays using credit, immediately pre-BR...as evidence of this can lead to legal complications for the BR themselves.

So...a holiday abroad is fine..[and may even be cheaper than a UK holiday...in my limited experience]...providing there is evidence that the holiday was funded by an individual other than the BR.

[after all, nothing to prevent a bR taking up a holiday won as a prize.....? ]
