I want to move to Australia but I'm not sure if my criminal convictions will stop me from moving?

what are your convictions??, if you have been sentenced to 12 months or more for a prison term ,you would have to apply for a character assessment before entry. plus also depends if your convictions are recent and how bad they are.. i went through the same thing too .but i worked had for my assessment to pass

i have a criminal record that was 10 years ago for theft will it effect in getting a spouse de facto visa
