Gambling Act Case
1 month ago
Back in 2021, I had a gambling case registered against me, in Gujarat. (Online betting)
Lawyer asked me to plead guilty and pay 200rs fine to get out quickly from the matter. I did what he told me back then.
Now when I check the case status it shows as : Case Disposed - Pleaded Guilty.
I just wanted to get a clarity wether it will affect my visa applications for any country in future.
A.Dear Client,
A criminal case, even one that has been disposed of with a guilty plea, has the potential to impact an individual's visa application for foreign travel. The extent of the impact varies based on factors such as the nature of the crime, the destination country's visa requirements, and its immigration laws. The authority responsible for issuing passports and visas holds the discretion to deny or revoke an application on reasonable grounds, particularly in cases involving criminal activities.
An applicant's past or current criminal records may render them ineligible for a visa, and if a visa is denied, the applicant is typically notified of the specific legal grounds for rejection. Immigration screening or background checks are common procedures conducted by visa officers, aiming to establish the applicant's ties to their home country and ensure compliance with immigration laws. The impact on visa eligibility is contingent on the details of the criminal case and the regulations of the country to which the individual is applying.

A.Dear Sir,
It is petty case and it was ended in payment of fine as such it does not effect your VISA application. Further, you should not disclose anything about this and say that you are clean in criminal history.

A.Dear Client,
A criminal case, even if it was later disposed of pleading guilty, can potentially impact an individual's ability to obtain a visa abroad. The specific impact will depend on the nature of the crime, the country to which the individual is applying for a visa, and the immigration laws of that country. The passport/visa issuing authority has the power to deny or revoke a passport/visa application on reasonable grounds, such as in cases where an individual is involved in criminal activities. An applicant's current and/or past criminal records may make the applicant ineligible for a visa. If denied a visa, in most cases the applicant is notified of the section of law which applies for rejecting an application. Every applicant must go through a thorough process called immigration screening or immigration background checks. Visa officers often conduct background checks on the documents presented by an applicant to establish strong ties to their home country.
