You've got me confused now Stewart.
If you've been in the Philippines for 6 months or more :-
What I'm suggesting is this, IF at some time during the 13a process you needed to secure a new PCC then you can do so without actually being in UK2.If the applicant has been in the Philippines for six (6) months or more, he shall, in addition to the Police Clearance from his country of origin or residence prior to his arrival in the Philippines, attach to his application a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) clearance.
Since there is no formal BI requirement there could be no requirement to have it notarised at the Phils Embassy UK
Just trying to help cover all the angles.
