What if I have to travel frequently while I am still a bankrupt?
Answer:
If you have to travel frequently while you are still an undischarged bankrupt, you may apply for block periods of travel either for three or six months. Whether your trustee approves the application depends on a few considerations such as whether you are regular in the payment of your monthly contributions, the reason(s) for the proposed travel (e.g. for overseas employments), and the level of co-operation that you provide to the trustee. If the application is approved, you may travel as frequently as you wish during that period.
Please submit all applications for your travel through our website (under 'Individual Insolvency' -> 'Insolvent Person's Portal') for your trustee's consideration. You should only travel after you have been informed by your trustee of the approval granted.
