A violent crime conviction can affect your life in so many ways. One way that people often do not think about is travel. Many countries ask extensive questions about your criminal history and may deny a VISA to you if you have a criminal record.
Imagine planning a trip with friends, family or even for work and being denied a VISA based on your criminal record. That would be extremely embarrassing and frustrating.
While there are many countries which may disqualify you, the major ones to consider are:
- Canada
- UK
- Australia
- New Zealand
- China
- Japan
If you plan to travel internationally, don’t plead guilty to any criminal charges unless you speak with us first.
