Can I get an American tourist visa with a criminal record?

. This situation cannot be generalized. It depends on what crime was committed before, where it was committed, how the court sentenced it, when it was served, and so on. The answer is not simply "yes" or "no". If not, it may not be a certain period of time, or it may not be a lifetime.

It also depends on what kind of visa you are applying for, that is, what is the specific purpose of your entry. I am a certified immigration consultant in Canada. If you are applying for a Canadian visa, I can help you directly. If you want to go to the United States, I suggest you consult American professionals (such as immigration lawyers and professional consultants). This is a complicated and serious legal issue, and most domestic intermediaries and travel agencies do not have professional legal knowledge in this field.

According to the law, if the applicant has one of the following circumstances, the exit-entry administration department of the public security organ shall not issue an ordinary passport:

(a) does not have the nationality of People's Republic of China (PRC);

(two) unable to prove identity;

(3) practicing fraud in the application process;

(4) Being sentenced to a penalty and serving a sentence;

(five) the people's court informed that there are unresolved civil cases that cannot leave the country;

(6) Being a defendant or criminal suspect in a criminal case;

(seven) the relevant competent departments of the State Council believe that leaving the country will cause harm to national security or cause great losses to national interests.
