Does a sponsor who has lived abroad for more than six months need a police certificate to prove he/she hasn't been convicted of anything?

The sponsor is a born citizen but spent about a year in Sweden. I just wondered if the CIC would need proof that she didn't commit any crimes while in Sweden since that might make her ineligible to sponsor...

Hi Swede!

I'm swedish too and sponsored by my canadian wife ( Outland London).
I'm very happy that the bureucracy in Sweden is fast and they have records on everything...:)

Police Certificates are easy to order and you have several shipping options. (www.polisen.se)


Lycka till!

I have my police certificates, but the question was about whether my g/f would need Swedish police certificates since she's spent almost a year there. That doesn't seem to be the case though.

Any Swedish specific advice for applying for residency?
