Read. The requirement clearly gives you the answer. with that said, it is required from the country of last residence (6 months or more). Just get your birth country - translated, too.

Just got a work visa I just got a work visa this week. I didn't need a police check - but I am in Australia. I don't know where you are applying from and maybe there it is different. These are the documents I needed:

*Passport
*Notarised copy of my University qualification, with a certified translation in Spanish and with an apostille
*3 passport photos that had been certified by a Justice of the Peace (or Notary Public)
*2 Work Contracts from Colombia - notarised (I had to send this to the Consulate first, they returned it with a special stamp that I then had my fingerprint put on and notarised by a Notary Public)

I also had to send a translated and notarised copy of my Marriage certificate, with an apostille, as my husband is coming with me.

My employer in Colombia had to provide 3 documents too (Prportionality paper, certificate of legal existenc of the company and a letter requesting the visa)

If you need any more information feel free to ask.

police record not needed This is no longer a requirement for work visas in Colombia. The problem is that not all Colombian consulates KNOW the requirements ofthe country they represent, so if the consulate says to get one, do it--easier than arguing.

Better To Have... and NOT need then to NEED and not have.
