As far as I know, a Category A caution steps down after 10yrs. You would need to contact a lawyer if there are grounds to request extinction

It may depend on what the Class A caution was for and whether it has to be declared as part of the NLV application.

From what I've seen, a single caution does not automatically mean a visa will be refused. The Spanish authorities usually look at the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred, and whether there is a pattern of criminal behaviour.

If it was a minor, non-violent matter from 2021 and there have been no further incidents, it may not be a problem. However, if the application requires disclosure, it's always best to be honest and provide any requested documentation.

Hopefully someone who has been through the NLV process with a similar situation can share their personal experience.
