Visas: Pakistan
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many visa applications from people with Pakistani nationality have been rejected because of their criminal record in each of the last five years.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Individuals with criminal records may automatically be denied a visa, depending on the circumstances of each case. All guidance on the use of criminality on the grounds for release can be found at: Grounds for refusal: criminality (accessible) - GOV.UK.
