Federal judge William Terrell Hodges on Wednesday approved the actor's motion to travel to London and Bangkok, Thailand.

Snipes will be in England about three days this month for post-production editing of 'Gallowwalker', and in Thailand for eight weeks to film 'Chasing the Dragon'.

A jury convicted the action star in February of three counts of wilfully failing to file his income taxes.

The 45-year-old Snipes, star of the 'Blade' trilogy, 'White Men Can't Jump' and 'Jungle Fever' among other films, has appealed the convictions and his three-year prison sentence to the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta.
