Dear friends,
Could you help me figure out this: Last time I lived in my country of origin/citizenship for at least 6 months in a row was 2013. Since then I visit for a few weeks every year. I am visiting there soon again on vacation. Can I get a police report while I am there or it should be issued after I leave it? Immigration website states the following:
Date the certificate was issued
For the country where you currently live
The police certificate for the country where you currently live:
- must be issued no more than 6 months before the date you submityour application
- must not be expired
For any other country
For any other country, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row.
If I understood correctly, my home country is not where I live currently. Even when I will visit for a few weeks, it should not viewed as a place I will be living. The country where I am temporarily living on work visa is considered the country of current live. So my country of origin falls under the “any other country” category? If yes, then could I get the police report issued while I am there- it says “ after the last time you stayed there for 6 months or more in a row” which is any time after 2013?
