I have a warrant for my arrest in NSW for skipping bail from over fifteen years ago. I have since been pulled over multiple times all over Australia for RBT and never had an issue, I’ve never been charged with any other offenses in this time either. I was arrested once for assault in QLD but not charged by police due to it being self defence and was released. The NSW warrant was never mentioned even after a full check and being detained in the police station. I have recently renewed my passport and just wondering how I’m going to go travelling overseas later this year. I will be travelling via Brisbane International airport. Will I be stopped on exit or re entry??
Depends on where you are going; if you are applying for a visa somewhere in the UK or USA, all criminal records can arise, and this might be an issue. But if they are outdated, then you are good to go. Besides, traveling is easier if you are flying within country borders.
Even though you haven't had any problems in Australia, it's hard to say what might happen at Brisbane International. There's a chance you could be flagged when leaving or coming back, especially if they do a detailed check. For a smoother trip, consider booking business class flights. It can make the whole process less stressful and more comfortable. Besides, when you travel with business or first class, and at the airport, they see your boarding pass. They are less strict with check-ins.
