@se29m oo, tama ka. pero sa return resident visa (which i also plan to apply) dahil maglapse na travel outside au eligibility ko (plan ko magtravel beyond my eligibility date) and citizenship takes 200 years to get an exam date and conferral lols.
ayon sa 155 visa character requirements:
<i class="Italic">Police certificates
We may ask you to provide a police certificate (also called a penal clearance certificate) from every country you have lived in.
<b class="Bold">This applies if you are over 16 and have lived in any of the listed countries, including Australia, for at least 12 months in the past 10 years</b>. It may apply if you have worked on a ship.
Police certificates are valid for 12 months from the issue date. They must cover:
the time you turned 16 up to the issue date
or
the whole time you were in the country</i>
pero sa Citizenship Application naman eh iba din.
<i class="Italic">Do I need an overseas penal clearance certificate?
