My husband is applying for a spousal visa to return to the UK. He has a criminal conviction for assault which is now spent. Can anybody tell me if we need to declare it on the application? I have heard conflicting advice, some say that it is spent therefore dosent need declaring, others say that the rehabilition of offenders act dosent apply to applications made outside of the UK. Can somebody help please???

surely it will depend of the wording of the application.

But if its declared then the Embassy shall ignore it it they feel if is unecessary so perhaps best to declare than to not mention it.
