Hello there,
I will start by saying that nn order to get a temporary working visa in NZ one should have to obtain a Police Certificate from his/her country.
I am an Israeli citizen who plan to move to New Zealand based on a substential job offer.
So I went to the local Police Station in Tel-Aviv and requested a Police Certificate for immegration purposes.
They photo-copied my passport and obviously asked me where to send the police certificate.
The policy here is that you don't get this certificate in hand by all means but rather it should be sent to the relevant Embassy upon your request.
Things get complicated now, because Israel doesn't have an official New Zealand embassy ! (We have NZ Honorary Consul though)
We have all other Embassies but New Zealand ! (Great ahaa ?)
When I told them to send it to the New Zealand Embassy they couldn't find any in their database !
I am stuck - I neither can have the required certificate in hand nor send it to an official embassy so they could have my certificate in process.
Any suggestions ?
Notice:
I want to obtain the Police Certificate whilst in Israel - prior to my arrival in New Zealand.
I don't wish to start the process upon my arrival to New Zealand because it takes more time.
I would then have to go to Wellington Embassy pay the fee in cash money, then they send the request to the Israeli Police - I have to wait for the process to end by getting the certificate back from my home country.
To much time is waisted if you ask me.
Do you have a specific procedure for Israeli applicants residing in Israel ?
Thanks.
