Hi Kerrybar

Welcome to the forum.

As the “new rules” for living in Spain require a DBS, if there was any doubt, then personally, I’d apply for one first and see what it throws up. Good luck 🤪🥂

I would imagine that it would be classed as a spent after all those years but it depends on how serious the conviction was.

Gatherings? 

All the fiestas have been cancelled due to covid restrictions so far this year.

I just need to correct my earlier post.

It’s apparently not a DBS you need to support your visa application, it’s an ACRO

Apologies for any confusion 🤪🥂
