Tourist visa/convictions
Wonder if anyone can help
How do you apply for a tourist visa for holiday to oz if you have criminal convictions (spent)
I have looked on immigration website and you can apply by paying with visa card but would the website ask if you have convictions? and do spent convictions need to be declared for this visa.

Hi Pollyana,
Thanks for that. I only asked as you cannot view the questions without applying and wondered if there was somewhere else to apply to.

For a regular tourist visa, if you're in the UK : http://www.australia.org.uk
You don't say how serious your convictions are, this could cause problems depending on circumstances. The fact they may be "spent" under UK law won't matter.
