Question about police record checks.

[JoeWyatt 0]

Hello all,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum to ask this, but this is the Visa I'm applying for and I wasn't sure where else to post it!

So I'm a UK citizen about to start the application process for a K1 Visa. I have to provide criminal background checks for every country I've lived in for over a years since I was 16. Here's the problem: I lived in Vietnam for a year, and am having a lot of trouble getting a police background check.

Basically, as I no longer have a copy of my work permit from my time there, I have to get in touch with my former landlord and he has to go either with me or with somebody that I've authorised to the police station for the district I lived in with proof that I was a tenant of his. As I no longer have any way of contacting the landlord (he's since moved away), this isn't the easiest thing to do.

I have read on some sites that there are certain countries where a police check is considered "unobtainable" or a "hardship", and I was wondering if anyone knew if there's a place I could find out about which countries were eligible for this, or if there was something I could do to prove that the police check was unobtainable?

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give!

Joe

You can check the country specific requirements for police certificates from the link below. Look for Vietnam if police records can be claimed unobtainable.
