@pinoysg @ms.dee_celestiel bro this might help you since you/your dependents worked on a ship:
<b>What if I have been working on a ship?</b>
If you have spent a cumulative total of 12 months or more in the last 10 years working for the same employer on a merchant ship, cruise ship, private yacht or oil rig, you should request a police certificate from the relevant authority in the country under whose flag the ship sails, or country of ownership of the rig.
You will also need to provide a letter or statement of good conduct from the ship’s captain or company attesting to your character. The letter should include the vessel’s name, the job you had while on the ship or rig and the start and finish dates of employment.

Tama si @batman, dapat agent mo mag guide sayo kung papano ka kukuha ng police clearance specially in your case na nasa cruise ship ka pala before.
