There should be no problem. You just don't put in on the visa application documents. By the way, where are you from? Some natonalities don't need a visa to travel to Hong Kong.

I am going to answer "no" to the question regarding previous convictions on the visa application. So I'll be a bit concerned that I might be rejected. Thus, I won't make reservations at a hotel for fear of losing my money. So how do I answer question about where I am staying? Should I just look up the address of a random hotel in the city I'm visiting and just use that? Do they even check that info? I would think not.

Well, i will going from the US to Manila, staying there a few weeks and then making my plans for the trip to China. So, at the time of submission (visa app) I wont have a specific place of residence. Since my last post i have contacted a visa agent here in my city and he's reiterated what everyone has said here regarding how to answer the question. He also said that if you say yes, there's a very good chance you'll be denied. For tourist visas he assured me that they never ask for any booking info or itineraries. When you think about it, how much information can the chinese consulate gather without having your SS number anyway. Like a previous poster said, much ado about nothing.

GUEST16219	exactly. it's very foolish to admit to having a conviction.

GUEST18164	Hi. Just wondering if anyone can help me out here. I've been to China for 10 days before but that was before I got arrested. Got arrested for ID fraud (borrowed a friends ID to enter a bar/buy alcohol) and I was 16. Only problem is that 16 in my country is adult so I was given a police warning. Is that a full on criminal record? I did not get charged and did not have to go to court etc

Hello everyone, im a Canadian citizen and i have a criminal record. I got arrested 2 years ago for driving under the influence of alcohol. I didnt get a pardon yet (meaning my record is still not erased from the system). The problem is that im going to china this summer and i need a visa. I was wondering if i should check «no» on the application when they ask me if i have a criminal record. If i do so, are they going to check if i actually have a criminal record? I mean, when im going to apply for the visa, is my criminal record going to show up automatically when they search my name??? im really nervous....

GUEST52332334	GUESTJOHN, I guess that you already have your answer after reading this long post. It doesn't matter if you check "No" on your application letter. Good luck!
