Hi to all!

I have question about work visa for Saudi Arabia.

I think I need police certificate for this work visa.

Does it have to be from every country I lived in? Or just country of nationality?

I have lived many country for last 10 years. Police clearance from every country could be problem.

Pls advise, kindly.

Thank you.

I have never been asked to provide police clearance for work visas in Saudi. As far as I know, only UAE asks for this now.

Usually the police clearances are for a period of 5 years (in the past) from the current date for any country you have lived in or been legally resident in for more than 6 months. Unfortunately, if it's needed, you would have to provide from wherever you have lived.

Thanks for your advise, XTang. I believe from internet that police clearance is now needed. But I cannot find proper requirement on how many years back this must be. I appreciate your info very much for UAE requirement, though (maybe it is same for Saudi Arabia).
