Directorate of Immigration: Residence permit - General conditions

Do I need to submit criminal records from more countries than the country of residence?

No, you do not need to submit criminal records from other countries than your country of residence when submitting an application. The requirement is that you submit a criminal record from the country in which you have lived for the past 6 months.

Keep in mind that after the application has been taken for processing the Directorate of Immigration might request a legally certified original of your criminal record, or that criminal records are submitted from other countries, if necessary.
