+x+x+x+xWith this looking likely for 2025 , does anyone have any thoughts on how it may look ? I spent a lot of time in Europe so concerned it could have some sort of impact My conviction ( 2 years suspended ) was for fraud in 2015 ( so 9 years past and 3 years spent ) and not sure on the likelihood I will still be able to travel to Europe The UK does not share criminal record info with any other countries or the EU ( which isn ' t a country , obviously ). T here is no link between your UK passport and your criminal record , and any information put on the Schengen Information System by the UK police was removed as a part of Brexit ( not relevant to you but maybe relevant to others ). So , if you choose not to disclose , they won ' t know , but if you travel without disclosing under ETIAS , if you ever need a Schengen visa , you will need a police certificate , which will show your record , and they would then see that you had travelled without disclosing at a time when you should have disclosed , which would give them a decision to make . For now , though , until ETIAS starts , you do not need to disclose . I know I ' m replying to a super old post but I ' ve only just seen this . My wife has had to get a Schengen visa a few times ( she is not an EU or UK citizen ) and she ' s never had to get any police details on herself . Yes she ticks a box to say she doesn ' t have any convictions but the visa is more concerned about financial status and if you have a valid reason to return to your port or origin . T here are no criminal record questions on the harmonised application form , probably because criminal record questions are asked if someone applies for residence in a particular Schengen country . It does seem strange , though , that we will be asked the question for ETIAS applications but not visa applications , unless individual countries ask anyway . Yes , I agree . Since when does things like this ever make sense though ? At the start of this year I was barred from a country because they ' d kept a green notice ( I may have the colour wrong , the one w here they are seeking information on you ) over 10 years . They didn ' t even know of my crimes and thought I would willingly tell them after they ' d already told me I wouldn ' t get in . Life is strange and I think sometimes just easier if we accept it with a bit of a head scratch at times !

For those keeping track the Entry Exit System has been indefinitely delayed with talk of watering it down completely . Rumours suggest a soft launch late next year . As ETIAS has to follow at least 6 months after that we ' ll see it being bumped too . My current reckoning on dates for ETIAS would be the following : Operational May 2026
Compulsory November 2026 or May 2027
Single entry maybe November 2027 or May 2028

+x+xWhat ' s the score with travelling to Spain at the moment with the current delays in ETIAS etc ? Are we freely able to travel , albeit in a different queue now ? Just annoyed all my family by saying I don ' t want to go to Spain next May for a family birthday in case I get stopped at passport control and thrown on the next flight back ! My sentence finished in March 2015 . Have you been or are you still subject to notification requirements ? In the past yes , all ended in March 2015 . Cheers

Looks like further delays to ETIAS which could be good news for some of us : https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/no-etias-wont-become-operational-in-2024-eu-sources-say/Based on my notes those ' leaks ' would create the following dates : Operational May 2025 Compulsory November 2025 or May 2026 Single entry maybe November 2026 or May 2027
