I can find no legislation or indication that a Criminal Background Check is currently needed to process a work permit, as is the case with other South-east Asian countries like Vietnam. I can only see things like a proof of residency, passport, work contract, and a health check as listed requirements.
I see a few threads here stating that a police clearance check is needed for spousal reasons, but again, nothing on work permits/visas. I'm getting one done here, but the notarisation, legalisation, and certification process is a bit lengthy and expensive. I do think it's worthwhile doing and it will be valid for a while in case I need it.
(^Example of the fee charged by the Cambodian Embassy here in the UK to certify a document - No mention of criminal background checks)
I was wondering if any teachers, or workers in general have been asked to provide a Criminal background/record check, or has actually had one carried out by an employer at any time. If not, do you think this should change soon?
Thanks
