Will I be arrested automatically if there is a Red Notice against me?

Not automatically. A Red Notice is a request for provisional arrest, not an international arrest warrant—it has no binding legal force under domestic law. Whether arrest occurs depends on the country where you are located, its bilateral treaties with the requesting state, and local police discretion. Some countries routinely detain individuals upon Red Notice hits, while others require additional documentation or a formal extradition request. Importantly, you cannot be extradited based solely on a Red Notice; the requesting country must submit a formal extradition request through diplomatic channels.
