Worked in Cruise Ship - Will they require me PC?

[Nicole_Filipina 2]

Hello everyone...

This may be a stupid question to ask but it just got me thinking....

I'm confused if during my interview they will require me for a police clearance for all the countries that I have been to during my employment working in a cruise ship...

My agency is locally based in the Philippines, the company is Malaysian Owned and we travel to 4 countries every other week, depending on which ship we are at.

For example, During my last contract, the home port of our ship is in Singapore so basically, we are there 2 to 3 days a week. And my contracts lasts 9 to 10months each time...

Do you think they will require me police clearance for that? We never lived on land but we are living inside the ship basically...

Thanks for your responses....

That is NOT residing IN a foreign country for 6 MONTHS or more.

a. OTHER COUNTRY POLICE CERTIFICATES. Applicants aged 16 years and older must also present police certificates from other countries where they have lived for six (6) months or more after reaching age 16. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames used while in the country in question, including different spellings you have used of those names. Country-specific information on how to secure police certificates is available on the State Department’s website at http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html.

It is not a stupid question. This processing is very un-nerving at best.

Follow the embassy instructions letter I linked to you earlier, use it as your checklist.

Helpful info in the link in my signature... follow the flashing arrow.

It will all go smoothly as long as you have everything on the embassy instructions letter.

Don't forget to get CFO on your schedule also, not leaving the country without the CFO sticker.
