    HK Entry with juvenile criminal record

    Hi guys,

    A friend is hoping to visit Hong Kong but has a juvenile criminal record that is pretty impressive. He's now 50 (so this happened 37 years ago) - would this be a problem coming to HK to visit for a few weeks? He's a British citizen.

    Thanks in advance!

    The criminal record is in HK or the UK? If in the UK then it's no problem at all - HK immigration authorities have no access to UK criminal records (and unlike, say, the US, no declaration is required).

    Was in the UK - as far as I know he hasn't been out of the country since he was about 12.

    Just thought I'd ask the experts :-)
