IEC - Police clearance certificates required

[Birdynz]

Hi there

Hoping one of you lovely people can help me! I'm waiting for the 2015 IEC quota to open and just wanting to get all my ducks in a row...

I'm a New Zealander but have lived in the UK, UAE, Australia and NZ. Will I be required to provide police clearance from every country? :'(

It doesn't explain this anywhere.

Also - I heard a rumour that they're changing NZ IEC to 2 years - is this true? Amazing if it is

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi there

The requirement is to provide a police check for any country where you lived for over 6 months since you turned 18 years old. Unfortunately I can't post any links but if you google "Operational Bulletin 490-A – October 11, 2013" and select the CIC link you will get the required information.

There is information at the bottom of the page for what is acceptable as a police certificate for this application.

As for your other question, I did read somewhere about New Zealand potentially being expanded to a 2-year visa but I don't have anything to confirm that for you. I hope that it changes for you

Cheers
