Re: Criminal Pardon Query.

Just a little point of guidance - a "spent" offence is not the same as a
"pardon" in UK law.

A "spent" offence is one which, owing to its age and severity, need not
be declared as a matter of course on MOST job applications, etc. It
isn't a pardon, its still a conviction/caution.

For immigration purposes, and even for tourist visas,  ALL offences
should be declared, even those which are normally considered "spent".



I can't advise you on obtaining a pardon, except to say that I think you
should get advice from a solicitor or migration agent.



Pollyana



This is not meant to be legally binding advice of any sort, and you are
advised to speak to someone trained in this field.
