Hi, I got my Gold Card approved recently. However, I would likely be able to move over more than 3 months later. With the intention of applying for APRC in the future, I understand I will need to submit a National criminal record certificate from my home country. May I ask how difficult will it be? I’m from Singapore by the way.
