Ofis said:Hello All,
Please I need a little advice from everyone that has gone through submission of required documents to CIO.
The requirement is that one should obtain police clearance certificate from countries where one has lived for 6 consecutive months or more over the last 10 years. In my case, I studied for a postgraduate degree in Spain for 2 years but there was no time that I stayed more than 4 consecutive months at a stretch during the years of my postgraduate program because I was always going back to my country after each semester to see my family. Based on this narration, do I still need to obtain a police clearance certificate from Spain?
Thanks for your anticipated responses.

Yes, indeed. You have to get a police clearance certificate while you were studying in Spain 2 years as because you were resident in Spain for 2 years. Basically if you residence in any country more than 6 months and you have to submit a police clearance certificate. It doesn't matter how many times you were travelling back home or other countries. I hope it is clear.
