Do I need a police certificate from Saudi Arabia?

[shamsia]

Ok so I sat down and wrote down all the entry and exit dates to Saudi Arabia stamped on my visa and this is what I found:

My DOB is 2nd Aug 1983, which means I turned 18 in Aug 2001. I was in Saudi from -

22 April 2002 to 22 June 2002 - 2 months
04 Aug 2009 to 29 Sept 2009 - 1 month, 25 days approx
02 Aug 2010 to 18 Oct 2010 - 2 months, 16 days approx.

which is coming upto 6 months 11 days *gulp*. Also, from 1985 to 2002, I was in Saudia on a Resident Visa, while the trips from 2009 to 2010 were on a Visit Visa. Im sooo confused!! Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance

If I remember correctly, you need a PC from every place you lived continously for 6 mnths...

I don't think ur going to need one since there are breaks in ur stay in Saudi.

Phew! Thanks so much! That takes huge load off my mind. Im almost ready to send my application off, and thats what I initially thought that since I havent lived continously for 6 months I dont need one. But then I go, hey wait if I add up everything it is coming down to 6 months! Guess Im playing mind games with myself! Just put this down to last minute panic ;D

Thanks once again!

You were in Saudi from 1985 to 2002 on a resident visa? That's 7 years of living there right? So you do need a police certificate.

Yes but I wasnt 18 at the time. I turned 18 only in Aug 2001

Oh my bad, lol. Yes you don't need a police certificate then because the 6 months and 11 days stay wasn't a continuous one.
