Typically I was a stupid Nineteen year old boy who got caught up rorting a major department store and ended up getting charged for stealing.
When I was younger someone told me as soon as you get a criminal record you have no chance of working overseas? Is this entirely true?
I'm Twenty Four Now, come from a respectable family and good education. Will these things help my cause?
Any comments would be apprecicated.
Cheers
I'm Sydney, Australia

I can't give a definite answer. You could apply for a working holidaymaker visa, the application form does ask about criminal convictions. You would be best to ask at the British High Commission first as to how they would be likely to view the offence. My guess is that, as long as you have no problem meeting the other requirements, you should be OK.
Good luck

Did He tell the college in the united kingdom approximately his convictions If now not he could have his place got rid of by potential of the college in the united kingdom As is very final crime replaced into at 18 then that is not from now on counted as spent for a uk visa which potential he in all possibility be grew to grow to be down for a visa consistent along with his record because of the very fact theft as a reformatory term of 5 years or greater effective decrease than uk regulation

Hi, I am in the same situation as you i am wanting to work in the States however i have a criminal record. I believe that in life we have 1 chance to put it right. I would suggest getting a quilfication before applying for a visa you are 24 yrs old you have a few years to accomplish your goals. I am working hard to gain as much expprience as possible. In england we have a time limit before our convictions are spent usually 10 years. I would talk to an lawyer or if you have an citizen advice bearu to talk to them. There are many employers that won't judge you on your past but on your future but yes having a criminal record does hinder you from accomplishing a lot of things.

Once you've got criminal records it'll stay with you for life. Changes of you working overseas is slim.
