Did they say this was the reason? I don't know how they found out, did they comment? What nationality are you? This is all rather surprising If you have been denied a visa there is normally nothing you can do, especially if the reason is valid. Go to another country instead :) Or be patient and try again after 5 years.

I have just been rejected today but the chineseconsulate for declaring a minor offence of stealing as a servant/clark. I was shocked that even though i did delcare all paperwork and ticked yes that they would deny me a tourist visa. I am australian female. 19 years. I am planning on reapplying through the melb office for the reason i applied in sydney with admitting to it.
I am going to tick no and hope that they dont check.
What is the punishment for lying on this if caught? we leave next month for around the world and we are spending 6 weeks in china. Does anyone have any idea if they do actually check or if its random? my partner was approved but mine rejected.

GUEST22139	I was wondering if anybody had any opinions as to whether or not the probability of a background check might depend visa you apply for. Do you think that they more likely to run a check on a work visa than a visitor visa, or are they equally likely to just push both through?

GUEST87220	HI. I have a less extensive criminal record than the guy above me. (only one misdemeaner stalking charge from four years ago). Earlier this year I lied and said I had no record and got the visa. I'm thinking from now on I should tell the truth in case they do check since the guy above got his visa. Would you recommend this? What will it be like 10 years from now.

Just wanted to offer my 2 cents - I was convicted of a first offense DUI (misdemeanor in GA) in 9/09 and successfully received a Chinese tourist VISA. I acknowledged I had a criminal record and simply attached a piece of paper describing the incident and how I had fulfilled all of my rehabilitation and had learned from my mistake. No problems whatsoever and I am all set to spend Christmas and New Years in China.

Also, I did not apply in person and used visaexpress.net instead.

Hello!
I have read through all the previous posts and they are very helpful. I have a previous bench warrant out for my arrest, and I am in the process of paying off the fees of missing a court date. The bench warrant will still appear on my record until the whole fine has been paid. I am leaving for China on December 11th, and will be applying for my Visa within the next week and a half. I was wondering if anyone has applied for a Visa with a bench warrant on their record. I will have the fines paid and the bench warrant released before I leave the country, however I will be applying for the Visa before the bench warrant is removed. I have to purchase my plane ticket, so I can get my passport immediately (need proof of travel), and I would hate to get denyed a Visa, and lose the money that I purchased for my plane ticket. Besides, a criminal background what other characteristics can get you denyed a Visa? Thank you in advance for your answers.

Why don't you just meet a chinese woman who is already here? Actually, they do check with the local police department and saying no will probably get you band from travel or deported in country.
