citseeker Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi guys, need some advice... We arrived on a 489 visa, got our 887 and now it is time to apply for our Citizenship.. When we applied for our 887, I got PCC issued from UAE and Pakistan for both me and the wife.. they have now expired. However, we have not travelled to those countries since that document was issued. Will we need to get a new PCC done or will those suffice? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammygirl Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 You only need an overseas police check if you spent a total of 12 months in that country AFTER getting PR. So if you haven’t been back since you should be fine. Of course they do reserve the right to ask …… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammygirl Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Yes that is right. They already checked you for PR so don’t need to do it again, but if you were overseas for a significant time after PR including in your home country then they do.
