In your place, I would therefore assume it safe to answer both of those questions on the Work Visa application in the affirmative. Should this not be the case, the case officer processing your Work Visa application will request an updated police certificate from you.
Thanks for your rely Kelerei. I will travel back to my country to visit families for Xmas so it would be safe to get a new certificate (also get it translated and certified) in person just in case. It would not be convenient if I come back to NZ then find out a certificate is needed.
Getting a policy certificate in my country is becoming more frustrating than it was - I am lazy and sick of this after doing so many times
.
Thanks
