UK Criminal record (Nearly spent)

[Neolamprologus]

Thanks for your response. And how did this guy you know get on?

I've been doing some further reading tonight. It seems like if for example I was to apply to Susi air in Indonesia, I would need a work pass/visa which would need this Police certificate. This probably would be ok as Assault/ABH probably wouldnt rule me out from a Visa/Eligibility to work in the country point of view.

What I cant seem to figure out is, as a UK citizen, what are overseas employers going to ask me for as proof of criminal history. A basic disclosure? If so, then all is well as my convictions will be spent. I dont see how they could ask for an Enhanced disclosure as being a Pilot isnt a regulated activity.

Also, the Police certificate (by ACRO) is listed as for use with Embassys for the purposes of VISA applications only - not for potential employers.

Is there anyone on here who is a UK citizen that has provided a basic disclosure for an overseas employer before or just has knowledge on this subject? My conviction of ABH is a disqualifying conviction for an airside pass in the UK. This however isnt an issue as my conviction will be spent here soon. Im worried about a potential overseas employer asking for a police certificate as a way of showing criminal history (rather than a DBS Basic disclosure) and this being turned away from jobs. Does anyone know if overseas employers accept basic disclosures?

Thanks in advance!
