hello everyone! I am from the Philippines and had lived in vietnam few years ago.

Can anyone help me about police clearance for foreigners(justice record check)? i have obtained my police clearance already from the local police office of where i had lived last november 2009.

do you know if there's a validity for this clearance? it's not written in my police clearance and i want to know if this has expiry and how long this will be valid.

i'm still processing my papers,what should i do if this police clearance is already expired? it's difficult to go back to vietnam to request again.

anyone,help me please. I really need advice.

Thank you and good day!

It's up to the consulate where you will interview. The consulate in HCMC will accept a police certificate up to one year after it's issued, but the embassy in Manila could ask that it be more recent. It's really up to them.

12/15/2009 - K1 Visa Interview - APPROVED!

12/29/2009 - Married in Oakland, CA!

If you are wanting to move back to vietnam, the police clearance is only good for 6 months, so you would need to go back right before you came to your local police and get a new one done. This is just for the work permit as others have pointed out for visa applications it is a different story, but I think you were wanting to know about moving here not a visa so it is 6 months on your police clearance.

What is the police clearance needed for? That is the real question, if you are wanting a work permit for Vietnam then it is only good for 6 months, if you are trying to do some sort of visa in a different country then they should be able to get you a police certificate since you are living there. The embassy can not issue a police clearance, you will have to go to the local police station and request one there, the only thing that the embassy can do is issue an affadavit that you are swearing the information is correct. Hopefully this helps clear things up, but for the best advice you need to tell us exactly what you are needing the police clearance for, if it is for a visa then the one you have should be good for up to one year unless the consulate wants something more recent, but as I said if you are looking to get a work permit then it is only good for 6 months Jerome

oh the police clearance is for my K1 visa requirement.US embassy requires for it if you have lived/worked outside your country for at least 6 months, and i had worked in vietnam for 9 months. I already have a police clearance but I don't know the validity(and i forgot to ask) so that's why i'm posting my query here. so if you're saying it's good for a year then my police clearance is still good, i'm crossing my fingers.

thanks jeromebinh,that was a relief. have a great day.

In that case it should be good for 1 year, but.... you are not currently in Vietnam, so the police clearance basically shows while you were here there was not any criminal issues and it should be fine for you. Good Luck Jerome and Binh
