'Itchy Finger' Mar 18, 2013

And I'm not sure if I'm going to be aloud to pass border control because of being a stupid teenager in my younger days.
Basicaly I've had cautions for drug related offences when I was younger and want to know if this would affect getting a visa and also getting a working visa for Australia? I've looked on the Internet but can't find any clear information 😕
Any help would be appriciated!

Just be honest with them. Doing that goes a long way with them and shows you're not trying to hide anything. As soon as they think you are lying about your past then you won't get in.

Do you have a conviction and if so was it as a juvenile?

I think with respect to Australia they are asking about convictions. But speak with the Australian High Commission in London they can be helpful.

I'm sure that cautions don't count as a criminal conviction. I'm not 100%, but that's what I found out a couple of years ago when I was planning a trip to America with similar things against me.

Thanks for the info guys!!
The offences were never taken to court so it's not classed as a conviction, just a slap on the wrist for being a idiot. Reading abit more on the Internet, I should be ok for Thailand and Oz, but should I ever wanna come to the US then I may have a problem!

Be careful not to come back with more than just an itchy finger 😉

I've been told to lookout for Adam's apples, don't worry 😉
Now just to get flights and go... Recommend any must see places when I'm out there?
