Police certificates

"As part of a complete application, applicants, their spouse or common-law partner and their dependent children 18 years of age or older (including non-accompanying dependants) must submit a valid PC for all countries or territories (except Canada) in which they have lived consecutively for six months or more, since the age of 18.

(For example, if you lived in a country for eight months but left on a two-week vacation, that counts as living there for eight months.)

Note: This includes the requirement to provide a PC for countries in which the individual has traveled for six months or more, whether or not the individual had an established residential address during this time."

Hi Guys !

Do you think I need a PC If I lived in UAE for 1 years but did not stay there consecutively for 6 months.

I was travelling back to my home country after every 1 or two months for a week or 2.

I believe the rules are very clear on this front. You don't need a PCC.

Many thanks for answering this question for me again.

When they ask for addresses in the past 10 years, is it past 10 years or addresses since the age of 18.

Because if it is past 10 years I would not even need to mention UAE anywhere.

I studied in UK for 1 year, but was back home every 2-3 months.. UAE has a rule that you cannot be out of the country for 6 months or residence visa will be cancelled...
but my degree for a 12 month MSc is from the UK... so is it just safer to get the PCC and avoid having to explain this back and forth? or will they see it from my travel record?
