Hi Genh,
For foreigner wanting to become citizen of Cambodia, which country police clearance does the MOFA needs?

Keen1

Excuse my ignorant question, but what is the police clearance needed for?

If u want to apply for Cambodia citizenship

Thank you very much. I didn't know you could.

No worries. This is only one of the requirements. U need to invest $$ too. Ask a lawyer if u really interested.

But what are you getting out of doing that (I heard the amount is rather substantial)?

Hi! I am based in Siem Reap and I want to get a Police Clearance. Do I have to go to PP to buy the form or I can buy it in Siem Reap? If in Siem Reap, where? And I have to bring it to MOJ in PP right?

Please help! Thanks..

Police clearance FOR WHAT ??

Many jobs around the world require criminal background checks/police clearances from prospective employees as part of their vetting process. They are also required by some countries as part of their visa application process.

That you have no criminal record in Cambodia - is the short answer.

Hi Genh,
I am in Cambodia now to get the PCC. I handed the 140usd directly to Ms. Kim Luch..I don't have the receipt yet..I am not sure if I am doing the right thing. I'll appreciate your reply.

How to get a police clearance from Cambodia without traveling back there? Badly needed your suggestion.

Thank you

Hello Babe2016.

I don't understand your question, as there is a very clear answer in the post of Genh at the top of this thread.

If you need police clearance from your home country go to your embassy and ask if it is possible to get that without going back to your country.

If you need a Cambodian police clearance go to the Ministry of Justice and ask how to get it.

Good luck.

did you get the pcc？i might also need to fly to PP and get it done

Hi

As i Remember my friends case they could get  Police clearance or certificate of criminalité record from ministry of justice without travelling back to cambodia by provinding the documents as listes on the top and have some one as représentative for going to apply and pick up documents for their half.

hi
i worked in the factory in sihanoukville and cannot offer the residence certificate,as i believe. my local friends told me it's not possible to get it.
is there any way of solution?

but i worked in the sihanoukville factory and cannot offer the residence certificate

is there any agent who can help

Well that's great, but what the hell did you just say.

Did your friend have all the documents? I no longer have entry visa or residency certificate?

Any helps is greatly appreciated.

Hi I'm a NZ citizen married to a Nigerian national. We are currently living in Sydney Australia. He got a police clearance certificate back in 2013 however with his new visa application he needs to provide an new one as his old one is only valid for 2 yrs. I don't recall having to pay for any forms however the process was quite a hassle. Is there anyone who is currently based in Cambodia on this forum who could assist us with getting a new one? Does anyone know if we have to go through the whole process again from scratch as we still have the original police check with all his details already as it just needs to be updated. We are willing to pay for assistance as it would be much cheaper than uprooting our 2 kids and ourselves and going back to Cambodia just for the police check.  We are getting quite desperate as we don't know anyone who we can ask for help.

Please private message me if anyone is willing to assist or knows of anyone who can help us urgently. Much appreciated (Elaine)

Hello Elaine.

I think it would be good if you give some more information.

Like you both stay in OZ, how long already? Does your partner need a visa for OZ?
How long did he live in Cambodia and why did he need a police clearance?

I get the impression that he needs a new visa for OZ and in that case isn't it so that he needs police clearance from OZ police? Just asking.

If he left Cambodia after obtaining the latest police clearance I don't think Cambodia police can do a lot for him.

So please give some more information, that would greatly help in finding answers.

Regards.

Hi!
Ive been reading most (recommended) about by Ms. kim luch from ministry of justice just look for her there she can help to obtain a PC even without your presence. i know its risky but does anyone know about her, is she real and legit? Is he can be trusted? Does anyone know where i can contact her? As i live outside the country.and hard for me to visit again in cambodia.
Your help much really appreciated

Thanks

Don't do risky things.

Just go to the website of the Ministry of Justice and read the requirements to have someone else get your police clearance.

It has been done before, so not really the end of the world.

Good luck.

How long is the police clearance from Cambodia going to be valid/effective?

Hello.

I guess it is depending on the authority you need the clearance for. They usually give a maximum validity time.

Cambodian police gives a clearance and are not involved in how long it is valid.

Regards.

Joe

hello

in the police clearance issued from Ministry of Justice from Cambodia, it marks 3 months valid from the date of issuance.

good luck
