Police check Question

Hi Guys,

I'm applying for a 475 regional skilled Visa.

I have had my uk Police checks done which were clear.

My Case officer has asked me to do the Australian one (1101). This is because I went on a 1 years working holiday visa in 1998. Is this the norm, or a mistake.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

This is normal as they want a police clearance from any country you lived in within the last 10 years.

They normally say 12 months or more, but I have seen cases in the past where it has been close to the 12 month mark. They are just erring on the side of caution, thats all. :)
