Re: Applying for Settlement Visa
Does a spouse have to get a criminal record check done as part of the supporting documentation? I've double checked the requirements list and don't see it on there

Re: Applying for Settlement Visa
You don't need a criminal record check for the Spouse visa itself.
However, some countries (such as the Philippines) require their citizens to obtain an "exit clearance" before they can settle or take employment overseas. A criminal record check is required to obtain this document.
You should check with the relevant authorities of the country that you will be applying from to see if any additional documentation is required in addition to the visa itself.
