I am the husband of a Principal Applicant and I am ashamed to say that I have a number of criminal convictions. These convictions all occured approx 25 to 30 years (in my late teens, those awful years), falling into the category below:
A5.25c Convicted at any time of any offence involving dishonesty.
No further covictions since, no parking tickets or speeding fines.
My question is, is there any point in submitting an EOI, would I be refused entry into NZ, or would I be required to submit an application for a Character Waiver?
Or, due to the age of these convictions would they INZ disregard?
I do hope it is the later, a little concerned here to say the least.
In advance, many thanks.
