There are so many foreign residents here with negative police reports! If you get married to him he will get the residence card anyways. For the marriage should also be no problem, unless he was in prison and killed someone. But what I find very weird: social hours are usually not documented in police reports. Only everything above high fees and prison time. Are you sure he is telling you the truth?

@fatiakel 'community service' (social work, as you put it) is usually ordered by a UK court (Judge) after the person is found guilty of a crime. this is sometimes done in order to save going to prison. in my opinion, this should not effect your visa application. however, there are many requirements that must be satisfied by the authorities before they grant you a fiance visa. if you are planning on getting married in Maroc, then you may wish to check from your side if his criminal record will effect your plans to marry. if your planning on coming to the UK on a fiance visa , and get married here, then i do know that he and you will need to satisfy the authorities on many grounds before they grant you a fiance visa. i do know that it can be very costly to arrange a fiance visa because i looked into this myself. its better to get married in Maroc, as i am doing. if you need any more information, please feel free to ask. i'm not an expert but i will do my best to help. good luck 1f44d.svg

I am planning to come to morocco in March 2024. I would like to apply for a residency permit but I have a criminal record. Does it depend on the crime, or does the government refuse me?

@Tim Ware I am in the exact same position! I have a business in Marrakech and some (very minor) misdemeanors from long ago in the US, but according to the FBI website they never go away... I'm scared to apply for my residency permit because I'm afraid that showing the authorities here this background will raise red flags, and maybe I won't be allowed to stay. Please let me know if you find any answers!
