If you have a criminal conviction you will not be allowed a visa to enter the United Kingdom. This is a blanket rule that applies to everyone, even celebrities like Martha Stewart.

Stewart’s conviction of four years ago where she spent five months in jail, is the reason why she has been banned from entering the UK, says a report in the Telegraph.

This multi-millionaire lifestyle guru was planning on coming to Britain this week to address the Royal Academy in London and meet with various fashion labels and industries.

Although Martha’s representatives are hoping for a resolution it is clear that the Home Office has strict rules when it comes to this, no matter who it concerns.
