I have been made aware that government is introducing a bill which allows the minister to cancel the visa of a person who has committed a crime, as long as the charge is punishable up to maximum two years jail.

Does that mean if someone who has pledged guilt more than 10 years ago, got a fine, with no conviction recorded would still be possible to have their visa cancelled?

Or it only applies to people with a criminal record?

Would they take into consideration if the person has been law bidding since charged when they decide whether to cancel individual visa?

Would this amendment also forbidden the resident to apply for citizenship in the future?
