Police Clearence from Gujarat (for Belgium)

[HarshJain 0]

Hi All,

I found lot of informed people helping others on this post so posting my query as well.

This is regarding Police Clearance, one of the mandatory documents for Belgium LT Travel.

Question: I have stayed in Vadodara, Gujarat for most part of my life and thus I need to get PCC from there.

But there are two different PCC, 1. Passport PCC and 2. Commissioner PCC. and for Belgium Passport PCC is required.

However, one of the documents required for the same is Request for Evidence where they need a letter for Embassy.

But, embasy has came back saying they dont send such a letter.

Now, has anyone faced similar issue? What was the work around taken?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

In order to issue police clearances most issuing authorities require evidence as to why you need the clearance. They won't issue you a police clearance on a whim. There has to be a specific request from someone else (for eg when you start a new job your employer may require you to submit a police certificate or when you work with children you may also be required to submit a police certificate.)

In the case of obtaining clearance for visa purposes, the embassy usually sends out an instruction sheet a few months before your interview date. These instructions outline the steps you must take to complete your medical examination and the papers you must compile and take with you to your interview. Among these papers you're required to gather the embassy makes an explicit request for police certificates from all countries the beneficiary (you) has resided in for more than 6 months. You can highlight this paragraph on the instruction sheet and send it (the instruction sheet from the embassy) to the police in Gujarat. That should be enough.

It was enough for me to get police certificates from the 5 countries I've lived / stayed in for more than 6 months. Hope this helps!

I would guess that there are not many ppl with experience or knowledge about Belgium LT Travel.
