Travelling to australia and america
6 Answers
Before i met my partner he had a dear family member die in 1999 and he went off the rails and used a prostitue, he was fined by the courts and has never been in trouble since ! It has been his only involvement with the police.
We would like to travel to Australia to visit his family but are unsure on weather he will be allowed because of his idiotic pahetic one night mistake. Also visit America in the future but again will he be allowed entry?
Thank you for any advice !

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Google for the address of the Oz and US embassy and ask them. I would think it would be better to write a letter to lay out the facts rather than doing it in an e mail, or you could even try phoning them. I don't think you should have a problem. Using the services of a prostitute is hardly the crime of the century.
