How would a person's spent criminal records affect his ability to engage in activities overseas, for example, employment, immigration, studies, adoption?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Registration of Criminals Act is a domestic law which applies within Singapore. If a person is employed by an employer in Singapore under Singapore law but posted overseas, the RCA applies, and he may lawfully not disclose a spent record when asked about his criminal record. However, if the matter is not governed by Singapore law, then the answer will depend on the law in the relevant foreign country.
