Does anyone have any experience on getting into countries by lying about past convictions on visa waiver forms? I need to go to Australia for business but have past drug convictions that I’m sure they’ll refuse me over if I tell them.
Lying on eVisitor forms
They'll see it when they scan your passport at customs. If you don't tell them they deport you.
Go watch border security you moron. Many such cases.
I don't think passport is linked to criminal record
they'd have to do a criminal background check, those cost quite a bit of money
you believe things you watch on tv lol
Your criminal record isn’t attached to your passport, only people with experience need reply
Lmao you're fricking moronic. I literally worked for AQIS in the past. He will be deported 100 percent for lying.
Care to explain how?
Sure they can request your record if they’re suspicious of you but it’s unlikely no?
Unlikely, but Australia, the U.S. and a handful of other Western countries all have records-sharing agreements. I don't think that Australia even needs to request authorization to view FBI-hosted criminal records databases.
They don't need to request it they already have it. All the five eyes countries plus all of Europe share that information. Dunder heads turn up and claim no convictions then scan the passport and it shows up on their screen, then they take you into a room to confess your sins and frick you off with a 5 year ban on the next flight home
Perhaps, but I’ve travelled Europe extensively and I’d expect if it flashed up on their screen then someone would have at least pulled me to the side for a quick chat by now.
Hence asking for replies from people with actual experience, as really none of us have a fricking clue
This thread glows brighter than Langley headquarters during Christmas eve.
From uk lol. I know of people that have gotten into US by lying on entry forms which is why I’m dubious that that these insidious passport linked super fast indexing databases actually
You should give it a shot and report back here.
They do, lol.
But I’m not sure if they’re instant. I think that, in most cases, the authorities have to request a specific traveler’s record, after which it’s sent over in the course of several minutes.
Speaking from experience. Am American, have a juvenile felony record. Was asked about it at the border once and sent to secondary immigration. I literally watched them receive a fax with all my information.
Once I explained that I was 14-15 at the time, they waved me on and stamped me in. Hasn’t come up since. But they 100% have the capability to check if they want.
Which border did you get stopped at? The US border?
Was a fax in the 1990s.
Now it is access to a database, and you lie at your peril.

Depending on the drug, maybe better to just cop to it for Australia.
They're buttholes, and if you're done lying you're screwed. If you're honest, they may wave you through, especially if it's not recent.
Australia has an extremely rigorous border security process. You won't go through.
The reality is that lots of border security is actually super lax. People get through with fake passports more often than you'd think. If a country doesn't share info with another, there is no way they can tell automatically. Of course they'd find out with a manual search but they only randomly pull aside people that trigger something

To put it simple, it's a gamble. You can win visiting Straya and if you lose you get deported, have to pay for it get a 5 year ban and as a bonus a life time ban from the visa on arrival program.
Do it or don't but don't complain if you get busted.
Since its a work trip I'd be up front about it. If I were just fricking off there then whatever but you don't want to miss something important because they turn you around at the airport and have to explain that to your boss.
What drugs are you trying to smuggle?
Frick off we're full.
Frickin druggo
Australia is a prison colony so you'll be fine.
While we're at it, any experience lying on American visa waiver forms about the countries you've existed? Say, you've been to Iran but have changed your passport since and there's no stamp. Will they be able to catch it?
Passports from developed countries all have cuck chips, they will even log which country you arrive from in case that country didn't scan your chip.
But I think these things are propergandic, America just wants to damage iranian tourism. Obviously there are Iranians in America.
i photoshoped my bank statements to meet the ridiculous money requirements straya has for working visas
I leterelly work at immigration law in Australia, ignore all other posts
If you only want to enter as a tourist, lie all you want, they won't check your record and I think they even can't. Nothing will happen to you
If you want to stay here longer, say a work visa or apply for residency in the future, you are fricked. It's at that stage when you need to provide certificates and officers will actually read your stuff. And lying to immigration is the worst offense you can commit. Seriously, I have represented people who served time, but don't waste a minute with people who lied on previous applications
So do what you want dude
How about a drunk driving offense that didn’t result in a crash? I wouldn’t lie about it, but do you let people in who have such an offense?
>criminal record
>business Visa
Yea that c**t will 100% abscond, bus ticket to bankstown and he'll never be seen again.
>leterally
I got stopped at customs to be checked, a neat little trick to gain entry.
I sat down gazing between his leg, licked my lips and murmured "mmmmmmm, bet that taste good".
It wasn't long and I was let in country, with a full stomach
