Can a traffic conviction (uninsured driving) makes you ineligible for UK General Skilled migration visa?

Question

Hi there... I am currently on a HSMP based visa in UK and will be applying for a General Skilled Migrant visa in 2010. What I need to know is that can a traffic conviction of uninsured driving makes me ineligible for to apply? As the form does ask for convictions specifically pointing out traffic convictions.

Answer 1

Be honest, and put in the conviction that you have received.

One of the criteria for being approved for the renewed visa is " does this person obey the law in the UK ?

I'd say this conviction will go badly against you. Driving  a car,  while uninsured, shows you  to be a person who doesn't bother to folow the rules of the country.
