Do I need to indicate that I have a criminal conviction?
When you apply for an Australian e-visa on the Australian Immigration Services website, you do not need to indicate your criminal conviction in your application form. However, it's advisable to note for us so that we can support you better.
Australia's immigration laws may require full disclosure of any criminal history as part of the visa application process. The Australian Department of Home Affairs assesses each application to determine the applicant's character and potential risk to the community. Failing to disclose a criminal conviction can result in serious consequences, including the refusal of the visa application or deportation if the non-disclosure is discovered after entry. Even if the conviction is minor or occurred many years ago, it is crucial to be honest and transparent.
Generally, trying to hide criminal convictions can lead to a ban from reapplying for a visa for a specified period. Therefore, it is essential to notify the Australian Immigration Services about any criminal convictions; thus, we can give you the best advice on your application.
Additionally, the Australian visa application form requires some essential information, including:
- visa information (type of visa, processing time, and number of visas)
- full name
- date of birth
- nationality
- gender
- passport number
- date of arrival/departure
