Please confirm criteria for Police Clearance Certificates
I am SA citizen (lived there til 18)
UK citizen now since 2003 (lived here from 1996)
Lived in Israel in 1995 for 1 year.
Applying for temp work visa.
NZ immigration officer said I would need police clearance from Israel, but looking at the work visa forms,
they say police clearance is required from: ALL countries I have lived in for 5 years or more since age 17 (this isn't as Isreali checks take 4 months!)
and
countries of citizenship (SA & UK) (these are easy)
Help!!!!
Thanks

Re: Please confirm criteria for Police Clearance Certificates
Looks like you won't need Israel for a work visa on the NZIS website. It may be the immigration officer got it wrong!
