Has anyone applied for a 461 visa with a criminal record?
If so what was the outcome?
My partner will be applying but has a drink driving convition and we will be giving all the information about when we apply just wondering if you only have to have a clean record to apply.
Criminal records come under the character test. Under section 501 you do not pass the character test if you have been sentenced to 12 months or more in Jail, whether you serve that sentence or not. As long as your partner's sentence was less than 12 months in Jail then there should not be an issue.
No, that should not be a problem. However, he must answer "Yes" to the question and provide a copy of the paper work regarding the conviction and sentence with his application.
