Disclosure Scotland's CRCs arrive in around 3-to-5 days, where as the Subject Access requests from your local police station can take several weeks.
Go with the former. |

Hi, just a little question here...
The Basic Disclosure criminal record check is all us Brits need to obtain the E2 Visa. Obviously, this check is not comprehensive and apparently it will not even display your cautions... so let's say in a hypothetical situation a person was lucky enough to get the a clean basic disclosure back even though they have a criminal history (ie: formal cautions)...
The Embassy in London also wants you to fill in a form and bring it with you for the VISA issuing process, they ask a question along the lines of: "Have you ever been arrested OR convicted in your country OR foreign country for the violation of laws?"
So, the basic disclosure criminal record check is clean and it has been accepted by Korean Immigration. Is it wise to write on the form that you do have cautions, or would it be advisable to just keep quite seeing has your criminal check has come back clean.
Cheers. |
Did this hypothetical situation ever resolve itself? Hypothetically, a friend of a friend might, theoretically, be in a similar situation. He says thanks.
Edit: I would have simply PMed the OP, but I still can't PM. |

For the love of god don't say you've been arrested/cautioned by the police if you know the CRC will come back perfectly clean. You might as well shoot yourself in the face, as far as the job hunt in Korea goes. |

| No. Cautions will not appear on the basic disclosure form and thus in the eyes of Korean immigration and so on, do not exist. If you were to go down the pointless and self destructive honesty route, you would not get the VISA. Do not disclose anything other than what appears on the CRB check, ie: nothing at all. |

| I used to work with a government organisation that used to do police checks through PNC and you could get checks back via e-mail in 20 minutes. Its amusing how long they take to do them for people outside. |
