Oscar Pistorius can now leave the country, a North Gauteng High court judge ruled on Thursday.
Judge Bert Bam said: "I can find no reason why Pistorius should not be allowed to travel overseas to compete if invited to do so."
"He has immovable assets. He is a professional athlete. He needs his passport to compete."
It is up to murder accused Oscar Pistorius to decide whether he wants to start racing again after some of his bail conditions were lifted on Thursday, his agent said.
"I will sit down with him and discuss it with him, but he will be the one to decide and let us know if wants to race," Peet van Zyl said of the paralympic athlete.
"I have not discussed it (participating in races) with him yet, and would not be able to say if he would. He has not trained yet, and when a man hasn't trained for such a long time he cannot just start racing again."
Pistorius had to inform his attorney a week before travelling, and provide an itinerary. He had to hand his passport back to his attorney within 24 hours of his return.
Pistorius was arrested on February 14 after his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp was shot dead in his Pretoria home.
