Hi guys,

Thinking of going away this year with some friends to Florida.

What do we need?

Do we need a visa in advance to boarding the plane etc?

One of my friends has an ABH charge on his record (self defence) before any jokes are made. Will she be allowed to enter the country?

Any useful websites etc would be great!

Thanks

Just read through the instructions, FAQ etc.

You need to complete the forms on the above site, one per person unless you're in the same family. It is the same as the form they ask you to complete on the plane. It is likely that they will still ask you to complete this on the plane but doing it in advance doesn't do any harm.
 
Yes, its on her record.

If she was convicted then she was found guilty of ABH. Bearing in mind that self defence is a defence to ABH, it would appear that if that is what she was doing, she went beyond self defence and into the realm of an offensive assault against her attacker.

Anyway, I don't know how it will affect her, I know when I went they asked if I had ever been arrested, let alone charged and convicted.
