Caught using another persons Oyster card

Hi.

Could you show us a redacted version of the form please? It's always useful to see.

Other people will tell you about the criminal record question but you could also look at a site that's often mentioned here, Unlock, who have helpful information.

You would have a criminal record, which would be regarded as "spent" after a year. In most situations you won't then need to declare it after a year. But for sensitive roles then maybe you will have to declare convictions even though it is spent. So healthcare, education, finance, law related job applications. It won't go on the Police National Computer, as a byelaw offence, but that's not particularly indicative, since convictions are a public record anyway. Moreover if someone has a legitimate reason to ask you, then failure to be honest will get you into another mess, greater than this one.

Not as such, but it may make it difficult to get an ESTA, and thus may need to get a visa instead. There is initial hassle in getting this but the visa process then becomes easier and arguably less work and cost than an ESTA. The advice NACRO gives in this area is to declare the conviction and see if they will give an ESTA anyway.
