Brihinia30 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi guys Iam applying for Perm Res from 457, been in Oz 7months, do I need to apply for an Oz police check? I have already sent for UK police check and a colleague @work just told me that I need an Oz police check too. I thought a police check is only necessary if uve been in a country for 12months or longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

br4t Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Thanks, did you have to do finger prints too with the Oz police check? Yes you need AFP clearance but "Fingerprints check" is not required unless you are asked by CO specifically. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Joff Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi I hope you dont mind me askng but how are you managing to apply for PR after only 7 months on a 457. I am also hoping to change to PR at some stage but I thought you had to wait for 2 years before this was possible. Cheers Joff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstone Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The requirement is to provide a Police cert for every country where the Applicant/co-applicant has been a resident for a sum total of + 12 months(can be staggered as well). So your 7 months stay in OZ would mean no clearance required. IMO, if you could obtain and submit a cert(available locally), no harm done...

Guest Joff Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thanks for replying to me so quickly. I will have to look into it to see if I am legible. Cheers Joff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brihinia30 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks guys I ended up doing it anyway for what it is worth. Joff, one guy at my work place who applied before me was so lucky coz his only took 2 months after he posted all the required docs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
