Will I be held in custody throughout the entire extradition process?

Custody is not automatic, though requesting states routinely oppose bail. Courts assess flight risk, community ties, the seriousness of alleged offences, and the strength of the extradition request. Substantial financial sureties, electronic monitoring, residence requirements, and regular police reporting are common bail conditions. In the UK, approximately 40–50% of individuals in extradition proceedings secure bail, though this varies significantly based on the requesting country and alleged conduct. Demonstrating stable accommodation, employment, and family connections in the requested state substantially improves prospects. Early, well-prepared bail applications yield better outcomes than delayed attempts.
