Yes :-)

Hi Walid

Paul is right. Driving without insurance is a non-recordable offence which is why your SAR says 'no record found'.

There's no need to disclose anything on a visa form.

Good luck.

Sounds like it was a non-recordable offence so that's why your ACRO is blank - seems like you'll be okay in not disclosing anything. 

Hi guys !

I had postponed my UK trip last year. And finally I'm planning to go back in a few months.

I got my SAR report today from ACRO and it says "no record found"

I'm a good to declare no criminal conviction on my visa form? 

Hi

I was hoping if anyone could shed some light.

Here's my situation:

I was a international student in the UK (foreign national). I was stopped by the police on the 2nd February for not having insurance while driving. But i actually did have an insurance on my international driving licence. But i was told that i wasn't allowed to drive on my licence after 12 months of arrival in the UK. Hence my insurance policy was deemed invalid.

I was fined and had my car towed. I opted to be heard by a court hence i signed this form and sent it by post.

But even after a couple of months i did not hear anything from the court nor there was anything from the police.

Mid-august 2012 i had to leave UK for good since i finished my course and my visa was due to expire.

Since then i have not been to the UK.

What implications might this have on my visa application to the UK? Also in terms applying for visa to other countries, how should i answer the criminal conviction question?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Note : Please don't judge me. I was young and naive, i should have got the facts straight.

I simply cannot live with myself if i cannot travel to Britain anymore or would raise questions elsewhere.

thanks

Thank you for your responses mate.

I will get SAR to make things clearer.

I was stopped in front of embankment station. any idea where i should request SAR?

@Bens i did not change my address mate. I opted to my case heard in the court but didnt a reply. I even walked in one day after several weeks to the local police station to check if there's an update but there was nothing.

So i guess i just have to get SAR and see.

Thanks again guys

Thank you so much.

Also, how much of a serious offence in IN10? i really feel like a criminal at times and find it particularly hard to deal with the depression that follows.


Once it is spent ill have some releaf, i suppose!

Sorry for all these repeated questions!


I'm travelling to Italy early next month...is there a possible of me being flagged via SISII?

Or SISII is reserved for more serious offences?

thanks John!

Hi Walid,

Don't worry about SISII, that concerns more serious offences. I very much doubt a POTENTIAL charge for driving without insurance will result in a passport flag. In fact, it won't, so don't worry about it
