hey guys i was wondering if you have criminal conviction in a european country and you are applying for a visa from the uk will it matter.

It might. You are required to declare them and then it depends what they are, what sentence, how long ago etc.

Short answer is almost definitely yes.  Hide stuff and you will regret it.  Easiest to be up front and explain it.  You have a police check from any country you've lived in for most visas so if that flags it and you've not declared it your application goes in the scrap pile I'd imagine. 

 

If the offence was a minor one and there's a very good explanation I can't imagine it'd be a deal breaker, but best to get an expert MARA agent to give advice.
