Answering Questions From Employers About Criminal Records Or Arrests: Fill & Download for Free

The 7Euros thing isn’t actually the issue.It’s the fact that the EU is putting up something similar to the US version ESTA and thus UK is going to be treated as a 3rd country.For ESTA you can be denied a visa if you’ve got a criminal record. The US system doesn’t care about the rehabilitation of offenders acts the UK has in place either.So? 11.7 million people in the UK have a criminal record [1] so they may find that they are denied or have to visit the embassy when previously they could simply just go. 11.7million that’s 1 in 6 people who need to visit the embassy.11.7 million. Except 11.7million is people WITH criminal records. ESTA simply being arrested and released with no further action or conviction is enough to make you ineligible for ESTA.We can see on the US government website:It is highly recommended you do not apply for an ESTA and will instead need to get a visa from the US embassy, otherwise you risk being turned away at the border. From the US embassy website:We do not recommend that travelers who have been arrested, even if the arrest did not result in a criminal conviction, have a criminal record, certain serious communicable illness, have been refused admission into, or have been deported from, the United States, or have previously overstayed under the terms of the Visa Waiver Program, attempt to travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program.If you meet one of the few criteria for having the arrest record removed (your example would be one of them), you can apply to the chief of police (via the ACPO) to get the arrest record removed.Criminal conviction?ESTA is also full of holes as some people have posted stories about.Do you have a name similar to a wanted criminal? Even if the DOB is different? - Auto denial.Are you in anyway loosely connected to anybody on a watch list? - Auto denial.Hell go look at tripadvisor UK and there's tons of people complaining about ESTA and being denied.The UK records are also comprehensive. Even the most minor write-ups like cannabis warnings will stay on the system, even if the police say it gets deleted.certain serious communicable illness???What’s this again from the US government customs and border website:Answering the question about communicable diseases on the ESTA applicationMany illnesses, while communicable, are not considered a bar to entering the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program. If you have one of the following, however, you should answer yes on your ESTA application.If you have been cured, or are no longer in an infectious state, you can change your answer to no, but you would need to bring medical proof that you are no longer contagious.ChancroidGonorrhoeaGranuloma inguinaleLeprosy, infectiousLymphogranuloma venereumSyphilis (infectious stage)Tuberculosis (active)The other aspect is 90 in 180 days so you can go for 3 months at a time but then need to be out. On top of this the above is purely for short trips.EDIT 1 - we don’t know what ETIAS will cover as it’s not been implemented and it’s still being set up.We can read here however:ETIAS Europe: the EU’s version of the US ESTABoth travel authorization schemes will process applicants based on their contact and passport information as well as the individual responses given to certain health and security questions.EDIT 2The above does not mean if you have a criminal record you won’t be let into the US or the EU. Merely that in the US there are obstacles to those with criminal records and health problems. Other countries have obstacles too such as Australia and New Zealand they have a good character criteria. [2]The above website states that the EU too will ask for health and security questions. So yes you may well still be able to get into the US or the EU but instead of just going to the airport you now have to go to the embassy and make an application even sit an interview to be deemed if they will let you visit.For anything longer or business related.As of today, a Brit can get a job offer in the EU-27 and start moving the next day. In the future the same person would have to apply for a work visa and would not be able to move until it was approved. This process would require input from the employer and the employee and might make the employer less keen to hire said person. My Hong Kong visa took a very long time to get sorted.[1] http://www.unlock.org.uk/policy-issues/key-facts/[2]Traveling with a criminal history

This is a very difficult question and the unfortunate answer is that it depends on (1) the precise wording of the question, (2) who is asking, and (3) where you are being asked.Expungement typically means it’s as though your as arrest/conviction never occurred, so it is often the case that when asked about your criminal history, you can honestly fail to report the expunged arrest/conviction. However, some questions about criminal history are worded such that they include expungements (so you would be lying if you said no), and some states require “yes” answers when the question is posed by the government. So in a nutshell, this is a question to ask your lawyer at the time the expungement is completed so you know the rules going forward.
