 |
|
I am applying for a visa to live in Australia next year. I was informed that I need to "obtain a National Polive Check clearace from (my) country or countries of residence... from any jurisdiction in which you resided for 12 months or more."
I lived in Korea.... obviously.
Does anyone know how to obtain this? What makes it even worse is that I am not in Korea anymore.
Infinate thanks to the kind soul that is apply to supply me with the answer to this question. |

You have to contact the local police station in the Gu you were living to get the certificate.
Then again you may not have to get the Korean police certificate, just one from your home country.
I've immigrated to the US -- they no longer required a Korean police certificate even though I lived in Korea for almost 4 years--I only had to get a Canadian one. |

| To emigrate to Australia, don't you just have to steal a sheep in England? |

I don't think this kind of advice helps.
OP, the Australian Department of Immigration isn't the kind of department that says "hey, don't worry about it".
If you are applying for a visa from another country, in all likelihood that visa application will be dealt with by immigration officials at the embassy.
My advice is to get in contact (preferably in person) with your nearest Australian embassy as soon as possible. Explain to them your situation and ask them what your options are. If you are at all unsure as to their advice, ask them to confirm it.
At this stage, these are the only people who you should be relying upon.
Having said all that, whilst DIMIA are sticklers, they aren't unfair (cf Korea). In the meantime, I hope someone can help you out with obtaining Police Clearances here. |

My point was that perhaps the requirement has been dropped by the Aussies as it was by the US (even though it was still listed on the check sheet as a requirement.) Obviously one should consult with the Aussie embassy about it. If the OP is applying for a visa, it's more than likely he/she is already in contact with immigration officials. |
