POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FOR RETIREMENT VISA

It will not be a problem as it is not considered as a serious offence in Mauritius although it appears on the certificate of character.

This is a trivial issue for them. The EDB are looking for real criminals. If it was more than 10 years ago, it may not even be on there anymore. Don't fret. Everything will be ok. ***. Good luck.

@vishayen Thank you. That is a relief.

@BestofMusicRadio Thanks. That is such a relief.

@traciwoodley Good morning this should not be an issue , your name clean after 5 years .

Problem though is that it tickets awhile to get your police clearance in SA , always backlogs or some excuse.

Find an agency to assist , much more expensive but it gets sorted out much quicker

Good luck further

@traciwoodley It could well be on the clearance cert as on checking my clearance the opening statement is

"This is to certify that no convictions have been recorded for any crime in the Republic of South Africa against:-"

If your partner was convicted it could well be recorded, however I doubt that they would have too much of an issue given the timing. I used lawyers in SA, they were extremely quick and organized.  If you require their contact details feel free to DM me

Unfortunately as the certificate is older than 6 months, they are not accepting it.
