[quote=GUESTNEWLAOWHY,603772]Hi all, I have been offered a job teaching in China and am sorting out the documents necessary for the Employment Permit to then move on with my Z visa application. I am having some issues, however, with the requirement for a Criminal Record Check. I am a UK citizen but am currently based in Asia, and over the past five years have lived in two other countries. I haven't lived or been employed in the UK since 2012, although all my family is still there and so I have a postal address. When I am asked for a criminal record check, my initial assumption was that this would be for the UK, but this is quite difficult for me as all the agencies I have consulted seem to need proof of UK address, in the form of a bank statement or utility bill, but of course, I don't have anything like that. Finally, I have found an agency that is telling me they can do it without this proof of address, so it looks possible. But now I am concerned that they will be wanting a record check from one of the other countries I have lived in? Someone told me that it needs to be for the country you have lived in during the past year. Essentially I am pretty lost on this issue, and it sucks seeing as I have everything else in place, I just can't work out how to prove that I've never committed a crime!! Of course, I've emailed my employer for help with this, but am yet to receive a response. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks[/quote]
