Hi Semper,

Koru is correct. I had to do a FBI Background Check as part of my NZ permanent residency application. AirNZ required nothing of the sort. Can't speak about the sandbox. Do a search for MayFly135, he is going through the Aus PR process and can tell you what they require. It does sound a bit painful though.

Cheers,
JD

Koru, looking forward to hearing from you.
