Hello,

No you don't need that.

But you can ask the police station to give you a statement of good conduct in order to make sure of getting the employment visa.

Hi Questioner

It is not compulsory. But if you want to ensure that the system is clear, you can take it from the police.

Dear Questioner,

No, you would not need that. Just apply for your new visa and if you default, please feel free to contact us at our phone or email and we will assist you.

Good luck.
