Hi Dave and welcome to the forum. Yes, you will be able to work abroad. The OR doesn't restrict your movements, although you would need to keep them informed of your address.

Unless the OR applies for a bankruptcy restriction order or undertaking (BRO or BRU) you will be discharged from bankruptcy after one year. This means that you are no longer subject to bankruptcy restrictions, although if asked if you have ever been bankrupt you must declare it. If you have any surplus income you will be required to pay a percentage of this into an income payments agreement (IPA). This lasts for 3 years from the date of your first payment. I have listed all the details of my IPA in my blog.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
