I applied for Open Work Permit is Police certificate mandatory
Hi, thank you. I am really not so sure since they asked for my additional documents thrice since it’s not yet available. However, when I sent it last Thursday, it got approved today, Monday. So I guess, it seemed that they were just waiting for my additional documents to get uploaded.Great

I see, probably they will ask for your police certificate from India., As for me, they asked for 4 police certs since I’ve previously worked for 4 countries previously. I think, yours will have a decision by early or mid july. Let’s hope for the best.India
