Hi,

I'm in the process of gathering requirements (for visa application just in case) prior to submitting EOI and I've read that we need to submit PCC for countries we've lived in for more than 12 months.

If you are over the age of 16 and have lived in any of the countries listed on this page for a total of one year or more in the last 10 years, you must get a police certificate from that country.

I studied in KSA for 4 years(as a dependent) from 1999 to 2003 and visited the country from time to time. The last time I went there was Oct 2007 to Feb 2008(total of 4 months, I was 20 yrs old back then). I was also in the country on 2003 and 2004 but stayed less than two weeks each visit.

My question, do I still need to obtain PCC from KSA considering that I've stayed less than 12 months in the country since I turned 16? Thanks!

Note that my parents are no longer staying in KSA.

In my opinion, indi na kelangan. Based on the regulation itself, u r required to obtain a police clearance for countries u have stayed for 12 months in the past 10 years. since within 10 years e wala nmn 12 months ka nagstay sa KSA then no need.

@Xiaomau82 Hi, thanks! yon din ang alam ko nong una. But then yong nagsubmit ako kanina ng application. Nicheck ko yong evidence of character, nakalagay dun na need if more than 90 days ka nagstay sa isang bansa. I created a separate thread, pwede pacheck?

@melvenb Useless na po. Its been 3 years. Sa Singapore kana pwede kumuha ng Police clearance. Once nag Exit ka kasi sa KSA you are marked as Cleared. Immigration all over the world don't know about this. Ang Hirap kumuha ng Police clearance dito sa Saudi lalo na sa Riyadh.

I spent around 1,000.00 AUD for the entire process and took 3 months because of confusion. MOFA staff here don't know anything. Lesson learned follow the steps Below and you will just spend around 500 AUD including the parcel back and forth to Australia.

REMEMBER POLICE CLEARANCE IN SAUDI ARABIA IS FREE OF CHARGE

*** I did this steps Oct. 25, 2015 ****

Scenario:
My Wife is in Australia and need to get a police clearance here in KSA because she worked here for 4 years as a RN. Australian immigration requires you to get a police clearance from the country you have stayed in for the past 5 years.

Police Clearance Process?
1.) Go to the nearest Police station in Australia and let them have your Finger Print. This Form that has your finger print is attested by the Police station of Australia.

2.) Have the Finger Print form be Authenticated by the Australian Foreign Affairs (the authentication will have a Ribbon in it).

3.) This is the Difficult step and the most important step. Send an email to the Saudi Embassy ( [email protected] ) stating that you want to (remember to put this word) LEGALIZEyour Finger print Form. Once they reply, they will reply with a list of agencies you can send your Finger Print Form.

4.) Call the Agency who will process your Finger Form and acquire the steps.

5.) Once you get back the Form with the LEGALIZATION stamp of the Saudi Embassy in Australia, you can now send the document to your relatives or nearest friend in Saudi Arabia for them to bring this form to be Notarize by the Philippine Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

6.) After the notarization you can go straight to the Police Clearance Head Quarters. The Police process your Finger print form and returned it back with a stamp stating "NO POLICE RECORD".

Note: After you get the Saudi Embassy Legalization (which i spend 1 month acquiring this to the Saudi Embassy in Australia) you don't need to stamp this form from the MOFA here in Saudi Arabia. Go Direct to the Police Clearance Head Quarters.

For any help anyone can call me in my number : 00966 54 997 9418.

corrappyka_CE · December 2017

Good day! I have worked for 5months sa KSA last 2015. Nagexit po ako sa country and did not return hence no relevant final exit documents. My questions are:
1. Do i still need to submit Saudi PCC considering its less than 12months (Coz ive been reading some cases na hiningan pa din)?
2. Should the CO ask for it, posible pa din bang makakuha?
*Note: i did not declare my work experience po dito during my EA assessment dahil sa lack of documents (Certificate of Employment, Stat Dec from Manager).

Is there anyone here po who has the same case or anyone who has an idea what should i do?

jangjaca · December 2017

@corrappyka_CE I have the same case as you. I worked in Qatar for 5 months. Since it was less than 12 months, I did not provide a Qatar PCC. The CO did not require me to obtain 1.

corrappyka · December 2017

@jangjaca thanks! Narelief ako sa item na yun. I'll only be needing ung qatar PCC na lang considering ive worked there for 1 year kasi. Meju mahirap lang kapag walang representative.

I do have a question dun sa Qatar PCC. Is it recommended na kumuha na nun before ka pa hingan ng CO? Meaning iffront load mo na din once na magsubmit ng visa application?

jangjaca · December 2017

@corrappyka its much better to upload all your documents once you have applied for visa, no need to wait for CO. for sure, hahanapan ka din nyan ng Qatar PCC.

baxterexus · May 2018

@delorian sir paanong proseso ginawa mo para sa stat dec imposible na kasi ako makakuha ng saudi police clearance

batman · May 2018

@corrappyka di mo din declare any where yung 5 months stay mo sa saudi? Belong sya sa last 10 yrs?

delorian · May 2018

@baxterexus download and fill-up mo tong form
https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/Visasupport/Documents/character-statutory-declaration.pdf

and papirmahan mo sa OZ embassy kung saan ka man ngayon..

royce · June 2018

@melvenb sir any update po sa inyong police clearance sa saudi? nabasa kopo kc na hindi rin kayo nakapag exit ng saudi, paano po kayo nakakuha ng Police Clearance. Salamat po

royce · June 2018

@delorian Sir can i ask kung paano po ginawa nyo para makaobtain ng Stat Dec?, once nafilupan yung form then dinapuba kailangan pawitness sa lawyer or notario?, derechong submit lang puba sa Australian Embassy para papirmahan? and Gaano po kayo katagal nghintay before magrant yung visa nyo? Kagad napo kayung ngsubmit ng Stat dec or hinintay nyopo muna yung instruction ng CO? , salamat po sa advice. Godbless po.
