Getting a US Visa With A Criminal Record
The following information is brought to you by
If you have a criminal record, getting an ESTA or tourist visa to enter the USA may be more difficult. That’s not to say it will be impossible: you can often still get a visa even with a criminal record, depending on the conviction.
The type of conviction matters
Whether you are granted a visa or not often depends on the details of your arrest or conviction. There are are some types of convictions that will not typically lead to a denial of entry.
If you have a criminal record for drink driving, for example, this may not prevent you getting a visa. This is the same with crimes like breaking and entering, and simple assault.
However, if you have multiple convictions for these types of offences, this may well be grounds for refusal.
Drug convictions are likely to lead to you being denied entry to the USA, as are crimes of ‘moral turpitude’ ( These include serious crimes like murder, rape, forgery and manslaughter
Apply for a tourist visa rather than an ESTA
It is recommended to apply for a tourist visa rather than an ESTA if you have a criminal record or even if you have been arrested but do not have a conviction.
If you have a conviction dating back many years, you still need to declare it. However, you may be able to get a waiver from the U.S. Embassy.
Gathering relevant documents
During your interview, you will need to show records of your arrest or conviction. If you were arrested or received a conviction in the UK, you will need to show an ACPO Police Certificate, which you can get from the ACPO website ( It must be issued within six months of your interview.

The Ardèche (Occitan: Ardecha) is a 125-kilometre (78 mi) long river in south-central France, a right-bank tributary of the River Rhône. Its source is in the Massif Central, near the village of Astet. It flows into the Rhône near Pont-Saint-Esprit, north-west of Orange. The river gives its name to the French department of Ardèche.
The valley of the Ardèche is very scenic, in particular a 30-kilometre (19 mi) section known as the Ardèche Gorges. The walls of the river here are limestone cliffs up to 300 metres (980 ft) high. A kayak and camping trip down the gorge is not technically difficult and is very popular in the summer. The most famous feature is a natural 60-metre (200 ft) stone arch spanning the river known as the Pont d'Arc (arch bridge).

Day 18 - Monahans, TX to Carlsbad, NM
More oil field truck road driving up to Carlsbad Caverns. The small road up the hill to the cavern entrance is real pretty, but that darn heat on the camera lens is keeping some things fuzzy. I noticed the road change from Texas to New Mexico, did you?
