Visa or ESTA?
A spent conviction in the UK doesn't mean that it's a spent conviction in the good old US of A.
I've got a criminal damage conviction from 1999 if I want to go to America I need to apply for a full visa as I'm not entitled to an ESTA.
(I was pissed up and decided to remove the number plates, wing mirrors and windscreen wipers from several parked cars to make my walk home from the pub more interesting BTW 🤦)
