How can one obtain police certificate in KSA ? Do you wait for the embassy to send you the form in order to get the certificate or you can do without the form from the visa office ?
Can you send your police certificate to the visa office while it's in process ?
I want to safe some time by doing now instead of waiting. Who resides in KSA knows about this sort of thing.
Hello ohcanada15, I am not exactly sure if we have the same case. I am a dependent of a PR applicant under Live In Caregiver Program and as per instruction on the initial email sent to me by ADVO, it was stated there that for applicants currently residing in Saudi Arabia, original request letter from the canadian embassy in riyadh will be sent via regular mail once complete assessment of the application has been done.
I received an email instruction last June 9, 2015, stating their need for the saudi police clearance, that they will be sending the original police clearance request via regular mail and so the need to wait for 4 weeks inorder to receive their mail.
I sent an email to ADVO asking if they will consider once I will be able to obtain saudi police clearance even a requesting authority is Philippine Embassy in Riyadh... But no reply from ADVO till I received the letter after almost 5 weeks. - Anyone can obtain saudi police clearance provided that the requestor has a valid request letter (stamped,signed & with purpose of the request)- and of course, letter must be approved and validated by the Saudi of Ministry of Foreign Affairs before taking it to the concerned Police Headquarters for processing of the clearance report.
The original police clearance request has a Canadian Embassy Riyadh stamp and signature as well BUT the mail came from Abu Dhabi Visa Office. I was able to secure and claim my Saudi Police Clearance Certificate after 1 week from the date of my application, have it translated into English and sent it to ADVO Immigration via Aramex along with a copy of my valid passport as per their instruction.
I just hope I gave you an idea that could help you at least... The best of luck to us all!
