To determine if your study destination requires a police clearance for a visa application, start by visiting the official immigration or consulate website of the country you plan to study in. Look for the student visa requirements section, which typically lists necessary documents, including police certificates.
Alternatively, contact the nearest embassy or consulate for clarification. Some countries require clearance from your home country or any nation you’ve resided in for over six months. Ensure the certificate is recent, as many countries mandate it be issued within a specific timeframe, usually six months to a year before application.
