eVisitor - Experience with criminal record
Hi All,
I have applied for an Evisitor visa on a UK passport but currently live in abroad. I unfortunately have a record for common assault and received a fine only. I have been waiting 7 days already but curious if this will be approved with 30 days when i travel. the time to process seems to be in my favour given 90% are done within 10 days.. Few questions:

Character issues are dealt with by a specific unit, and can take months (in normal times) to be processed. As there is inevitably a backlog due to COVID, and the restarting of tourist visas, I would be prepared for a long wait. I spoke to an agent a couple of months ago about a conviction issue and we were talking of submitting the request then, for a visit at Christmas. Be prepared to be patient. |

Thanks so much for the reply!
The offence was in the UK and indeed- i didnt attach an ACRO for applying for the evisitor 651 visa but did declare the record. I have just attached it now but its 12months old. i have applied for 2x AUS visa previously, both times have been upfront regarding the conviction - one in 2015 and one in 2016 both times including the ACRO. Are you able to make sense of the 'might' be part in the eVisitor 651 ? it sounds like you can 'can' apply for a evisitor which has much shorter processing times but may be a risk when you arrive! I cant make sense of it to be honest.. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/british...e9ed9125b3.png |

My personal recommendation is George Lombard, a respected registered agent with a long history of dealing with visa applications involving character issues. |
