Can I leave the Country?

in Bankruptcy & living with it
I declared BR September 2013
So far no IPA etc as I'm unemployed

To be frank it's been a tough time. Only my pension to live on.

My question is this....would I be allowed to leave UK and go live in a country where my small income can at least support me.
My landlord has intimated a min 10% rent increase which I will find very uncomfortable to meet.

I have family in another country who have agreed to take me in.

How would this be viewed by the OR ?

Thanks in advance for any ideas suggestion or comments

    There are no restrictions on travel as a BR as far as I am aware.

    Thanks for the response...

    If I say emigration rather than travel does that make any difference?
    Sorry if I misunderstand or appear pedantic :)

    As long as the OR is happy, there will be no problem.

    Is there a way to hold off the LL until September (discharge)? You'll feel a lot better knowing that your BR is officially over at this point.

    If in doubt, speak to the OR.

    You can live anywhere in the world you like as long as the OR has a way of contacting you at anytime.
